The Mapping and Analysis for Public Safety (MAPS) Program in

Center - Southeast (NLECTC-SE) in Charleston, South Carolina, announce the

CrimeStat III is a Windows-based spatial statistics software package used
for analyzing crime data from law enforcement and criminal justice
agencies. Output produced from the software can be used with a geographic
information system (GIS) to support and enhance the tactical and strategic
analysis efforts of police departments. The workbook covers how to prepare
data for CrimeStat, produce results and import them into ArcGIS 9.x for
further analysis or presentation. It also covers entering data into
CrimeStat III, basic descriptive statistics from Spatial Distribution,
measures of clustering in Distance Analysis, several 'Hot Spot' techniques,
and using both single and dual Kernel Density Interpolation. Upon
completion of the workbook and exercises, users are able to immediately
make use of CrimeStat at their own agencies in the analysis of crime
patterns and trends.
