- Description
- The Graduate Certificate in Crime Analysis and Mapping is a response to calls to integrate data-driven policing into the organizational culture of public safety agencies. Crime analysis is a deep examination of the criminogenic factors that help us understand why crime occurs. Crime mapping is a key component of crime analysis that is used by law enforcement, city planners, urban planners, corporate risk and enterprise professionals, and public health specialists to map, visualize, and analyze crime incident patterns. Together, sound crime analysis and crime mapping diagnose problems to facilitate tailored responses to crime and to reduce the frequency and severity of crime problems. Sound crime analysis allows for granular assessments of crime problems, which can facilitate the development of public safety programs in a manner that minimizes the risk for unintended harmful effects in the community. Crime analysis and mapping are key components of evidence-based programs that simultaneously promote crime prevention and social justice. This certificate is designed to contribute to students’ understanding of how to critically assess crime patterns and connect crime data to other geographic data in order to inform prevention activities and efforts to improve public safety and security and to present the ways in which data management, geospatial and temporal crime data, and map construction can be used to develop crime policy.
