Hotspot MappingHotspot Mapping
► Hotspots: areas Hotspots: areas with high with high concentrations of concentrations of crime. crime.
► Conventional Conventional hotspot mapping: hotspot mapping: uses locations of uses locations of past events to past events to anticipate anticipate locations of locations of future similar future similar events.events.

Near Repeat AnalysisNear Repeat Analysis
► If a crime occurs at a location, the If a crime occurs at a location, the chances of a future crime occurring chances of a future crime occurring nearby increasesnearby increases
► Many near repeat incidents over time Many near repeat incidents over time could result in hotspotscould result in hotspots

Near Repeat AnalysisNear Repeat Analysis
► Use knowledge of near repeat Use knowledge of near repeat phenomenon to intervene at certain phenomenon to intervene at certain placesplaces
► Like hotspot mapping, it relies on Like hotspot mapping, it relies on the occurrence of crime before the occurrence of crime before predicting future behaviorpredicting future behavior

► Hotspot locations did not move from year to year Hotspot locations did not move from year to year because environments stayed criminogenicbecause environments stayed criminogenic
