Norfolk, Virginia Crime Analysis -
Fouth Quarter 2014 |
This is a map using data
downloaded from the Norfolk Police Department to identify crime hot
spots, types of crime as well as other trends and patterns. The analysis
was done using Spatial Analyst. This map clearly shows that the Park
Place neighborhood has the highest incidences of crime in the city as
well as downtown Norfolk.
Using GIS, crime analysts can overlay other datasets
such as census demographics, locations of pawn shops, schools, etc., to
better understand the underlying causes of crime and help law
enforcement administrators to devise strategies to deal with the
problem. GIS is also useful for law enforcement operations, such as
allocating police officers and dispatching to emergencies.
