Crime Mapping
there are often differences in data structure designs, data encoding approaches, data accessing and processing methods for these two types of geographic phenomena. Geographic coverage is a concept for continuous phenomena. Geographic coverage standards defines conceptual schema for coverage and analyze coverage types and components, e. g., [1]. These include characteristics of spatiotemporal domain coverage and attribute range, major coverage types, and operations on coverages. Geographic coverage standards provide a common technology language and guide the development of interoperable services on coverage data. Geographic coverage services perform various functionalities for coverage including collecting, archiving, cataloging, publishing, distributing, and processing of coverage data. Geographic coverage services compliant with standard schema and interfaces are interoperable. They can be described, published and found in standard service catalogues, be accessed by all compliant clients, and be connected in order to construct service chains to accomplish complex geospatial modeling tasks.

Crime Mapping and Analysis RONALD E. W ILSON , K ATIE M. F ILBERT Mapping and Analysis for Public Safety Program & Data Resources, National Institute of Justice, Washington, D.C., MD, USA Synonyms Spatial analysis of crime; Spatial aspects of crime; Statistical techniques; Geographical analysis; Environmental criminology; First law of geography; Rational choice; Route activity; Social disorganization Definition The term “crime mapping” is inaccurate as it is overly simplistic. Crime mapping is often associated with the sim-
ple display and querying of crime data using a Geographic Information System (GIS). Instead, it is a general term that encompasses the technical aspects of visualization and statistical techniques, as well as practical aspects of geographic principles and criminological theories. From a technical standpoint, the term is a combination of visualization and statistical techniques manifested as software. This combination of techniques is shared between mapping, spatial analysis and spatial data analysis. Mapping is simply a visualization tool that is used to display raw geographic data and output from analysis, which is done through a GIS. Spatial analysis is the statistical testing of geographic features in relation to other geographic features for patterns, or lack there of. Spatial data analysis is the combination of spatial analysis with associated attribute data of the features to uncover spatial interactions between features. From a practical standpoint, crime mapping is a hybrid of several social sciences, which are geography, sociology and criminology. It combines the bas
