Crime Analysis Division

The crime analysis program has a number of ongoing research projects and initiatives that involve the blended approach to geographic analysis. Using sliding scales of inquiry, each project begins with a community analysis to identify general ecological patterns that correlate with criminal and delinquent activity, and then, the research adopts a micro place-based research design to test hypotheses generated. The breadth of the research activity described below demonstrates the range of interests among program staff, as well as important issues facing local communities. As these research projects are completed, reports and analyses will be made available to the public on a limited basis due to privacy considerations. For additional information on each project please email the associated researcher identified by web mail links.
