PRESENTATION OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE RESEARCH AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS (GIS)
A simple map is a basic representation of space- boundaries, a route, and landmarks. You may consider it to be two-dimensional. However, maps can also be considered many layered representations of data or information. They can show connections, relationships, patterns over time, or many other attributes intended to communicate about the factors influencing a given space. Crime is one of those attributes. And when considering crime as a layer, many other attributes can be examined to discover connections between crime, its causes, and its patterns. In this Assignment, you combine your ongoing research presentation skill
building with a consideration of crime mapping.
