You have recently been asked by the Mayor of Reading, Pennsylvania to improve the safety of Reading, PA for visitors and residents. The Mayor would like to have a winter festival next year. However, there has been a recent increase in criminal activity in the Reading, PA area and he is extremely concerned with how this issue will impact his ability to attract visitors to the area as well as residents for the proposed winter festival.
You are tasked with developing a plan (crime prevention program or community policing initiative) to combat this increase with the use of GIS and crime mapping technology.
Specifically, I would like you to use the following software that is available from crimemapping.com
Go to the website www.crimemapping.com click on the state of Pennsylvania. A new box will appear. Then select “Reading Police.” Click on the “Dates” tab and change the date range to 11/1/13 – 12/31/13.
As you can see, over 800 types of crimes have occurred during this date range. To gain a more accurate depiction of what types of crimes you plan to address you will have to modify your search by crime.
Once you have attained all of the data that you will need (what types of incidents are the most frequent in the winter months, what are the geographical patterns of the incidents-refer to street names, what days are the most frequent for these types of offenses), please design a detailed plan on how you propose to reduce the various types of crime that are impacting the Reading, PA area. Then explain how you can use this technology to prevent future crimes from occurring.
