Reaching far beyond the realm of geography and its related disciplines, spatial analysis and visualization tools now actively support the
decision-making processes of law enforcement agencies. Interactive mapping of crime outperforms the previously manual and laborious
querying of crime databases. Using burglary and robbery events reported in the urban city of Manchester, England, we illustrate the utility
of graphical methods for interactive analysis and visualization of event data. These novel surveillance techniques provide insight into
offending characteristics and changes in the offending process in ways that cannot be replicated by traditional crime investigative methods.
We present a step-wise methodology for computing the intensity of aggregated crime events which can potentially accelerate law enforcers’
decision making processes by mapping concentrations of crime in near real time. [-]
