The project described involved advising and training the staff of
the National Institute of Justice's (NIJ's) Crime Mapping
Research Center (CMRC) in learning the basic concepts of
geography and cartography; using cartographic and spatial
analytic application in criminal justice; conducting research and
developing specific mapping applications; disseminating
information about mapping and spatial analysis; and networking
with the organizations that provide resources for mapping and
spatial analysis. |

Abstract:
|
The goals of this collaboration were to increase the utility of
computerized mapping for criminal justice and to position NIJ as
an authority and source of guidance in mapping and spatial
analysis in criminal justice. The onsite phase of this fellowship
project began on June 2, 1997, and was completed on August 21,
1997. Implementation of the project involved the use of staff
seminars, the use of three textbooks, working individually with
CMRC and NIJ personnel, the testing of new mapping software, the
dissemination of information, and networking. In reporting on the
achievement of project goals, the author advises that the first
goal, to increase the utility of computerized mapping for
criminal justice, could not be assessed due to lack of a formal
evaluation mechanism. The second goal -- to position NIJ as an
authority and source of guidance in mapping and spatial analysis
in criminal justice -- was achieved. In promoting mapping
research and applications, NIJ has become an international
authority on mapping and spatial analysis in criminal justice.
