Summary
"This thesis consolidates theory for several tools - from GIS, spatial statistics, and data mining - useful for analysing criminal incidents to discover crime patterns, recognize extraordinary concentrations of crimes or hot spots that show clusters of criminal events, or characterize criminal behaviour in the different neighbourhoods. Their use is illustrated with Ottawa Police Services data for 2001 and 2004."--Page ii.
