The ability to analyze information geographically is important not only in the field of criminal justice but also in fields such as psychology, social work, business, marketing, public health, and a wealth of others. Developing an understanding of the geographic distribution of a wide range of events, conditions, and patterns is essential in developing interventions and strategies that are effective at addressing the distribution issue. This course will introduce the student to the mapping software and allow the student to begin to understand how to geographically display a variety of different social conditions and community information”

    Data Management for Crime Analysts –
    As published: “CRJ 215 Data Management for Crime Analysts – This course is designed to teach the student how to collect, manipulate, and present data in a way that enhances the understanding of the end user. Data analysis is becoming increasingly important to non-profit, social service, government, and law enforcement organizations, yet the skills required for quality analysis are lacking in the profession. Effective societal change cannot be made until professionals have a detailed understanding of the conditions and factors that influence human behavior. Being able to identify and assess those conditions and factors begins with the effective collection, manipulation, and presentation of information”

You will be using the mapping software as a learning aid in developing a more complex understanding of different analytical strategies. The point is to understand why certain analyses are appropriate and how each enhances our understanding of the geographical distribution of crime and the social conditions that influence crime”
