| | | | Summary: | This research involved the exploration of how the
geographies of different crimes intersect with the geographies of
social, economic, and demographic characteristics in Nashville,
Tennessee, Portland, Oregon, and Tucson, Arizona. Violent crime data
were collected from all three cities for the years 1998 through
2002. The data were geo-coded and then aggregated to block groups and
census tracts. The data include variables on 28 different crimes,
numerous demographic variables taken from the 2000 Census, and several
land use variables. |
