Version 3.2 was originally made available on the ICPSR website on June 25, 2009 but was withdrawn from the ICPSR website on August 28, 2009. During a reengineering of the CrimeStat code several routines were altered that produce incorrect results. This includes, but is not limited to Geary's C, Nearest Neighbor Analysis, Ripley's K, and the 2nd order clusters from Nearest Neighbor Hierarchical Clustering.
Version 3.1 includes a Bayesian Journey to Crime module and allows the use of weighting for the geometric and harmonic means.
Major improvements in version 3.0 added a crime travel demand module and several new statistical routines ('Moran correlogram', 'Convex hull', 'Draw crime trips', 'Spatial-temporal moving average'), incorporated network distance along with direct and indirect distance, allowed distance to be saved as files, and improved some of the statistics from version 2.0.
Major improvements included the saving and loading of reference files, an Options section (saving and loading of Ascii parameter files, output of simulation data, coloring of tabs), additional hot spot analysis routines (mode, fuzzy mode, Risk-adjusted hierarchical clustering, STAC), and a Spatial Modeling section which included the interpolation and Journey-to-Crime routines as well as new space-time analysis routines (Knox index, Mantel index, correlated walk analysis). Two more chapters were added to the manual as well as an appendix (in total, chapters 1-10 and Appendices A-B). Additional sample data sets were added for the journey to crime routines and for the correlated walk analysis routine.
The major improvements were missing value codes, 'dat' input format, Ascii grid output, directional mean and variance in X/Y coordinates, edge corrections for the nearest neighbor and Ripley's "K" routines, expansion of the K-means clustering routine, and the addition of Journey-to-Crime calibration and estimation routines. Update notes were added to the manual and a sample data set was provided.
The initial version of CrimeStat included a Data Setup section (primary file, secondary file, reference file, measurement parameters, input in 'dbf', shape, or Ascii formats), and sections for Spatial Description (mean center, standard deviational ellipse, center of minimum distance, directional mean and variance in polar coordinates, Moran's "I", Geary's "C"), Distance Analysis (nearest neighbor index, Ripley's "K", and distance matrices), Hot Spot Analysis (nearest neighbor hierarchical spatial clustering, K-means clustering, Anselin's local Moran), and Interpolation (single and duel-kernel). Output formats included shape, BNA, and MIF. There was a program manual (chapters 1-8, Appendix A) and a "Quickguide" to the program.
