CRIME MAPPING
Crime mapping is how we detect areas with crime. In Crime Mapping, it focuses on identifying places or areas where crime is high or low. Mapping crime is helpful as police can track down which areas in a city, town or country has high risk of crime.
When a crime has been committed, the crime will be plotted on a map with information like when the crime was made, what offence was made and who the offender was. Currently, Crime mapping has been used actively in most countries.
As Crime mapping helps identify places or areas where crime is high or low, police can monitor areas where crime is high to protect the people around the area. Police can use the data from the map to find the person that committed the crime.
WHAT IS CRIME
Crime is an action that breaks the law or illegal. Crime is related to Geography in many different ways because geography can help to see where crimes are most likely to be committed, to combat crime and to help areas where crime is high to prevent it. When a crime happens, it has information like where and what time it happened, who did it, and a reason.
If a crime is defined in society but not in law, then it won’t be a crime. If you were caught for committing a crime, you will be either charged for it or either go to the jail for a certain period of time. After being released from prison or charge, you may lose some of your rights in society for example not being able to vote in some countries.
DIFFERENT KINDS OF CRIMES
There are many different forms or kinds of crimes in the world. In just 2012 alone, there has been 3,700,349 crimes in the UK as stated in the statistics provided by the Office of National Statistics. That number may be big, but it is not completely reliable as not every crime is reported or known to the police.
As you know, there are many different kinds of crimes. When a crime has been reported, it will be classified in one of nine types of offence groups.
