Abstract

Crime can drastically alter a neighborhood’s social and economic fabric, creating fear and instability that disrupt communal harmony and daily life. To address the growing impact of crime and the need for efficient analysis and predictions, we introduce the Geographic Crime Analysis Framework (G.C.A.F.). This new framework enhances the capability to analyze and predict urban crime activities through advanced spatial–temporal geographic crime analysis techniques. The G.C.A.F. addresses gaps in existing methods by comprehensively evaluating various approaches, discussing their advantages and disadvantages, and determining their suitability for specific situations. Additionally, it introduces criteria for evaluating the efficiency of different geographic crime prediction methods, aiding in selecting the most appropriate approach for given objectives. The framework concludes with a comparison of the effectiveness of each method in crime prediction and analysis. By implementing the G.C.A.F., law enforcement, and policymakers can more effectively combat crime, thereby improving public safety.

期刊介绍: Description The journal has an applied focus: it actively promotes the importance of geographical research in real world settings It is policy-relevant: it seeks both a readership and contributions from practitioners as well as academics The substantive foundation is spatial analysis: the use of quantitative techniques to identify patterns and processes within geographic environments The combination of these points, which are fully reflected in the naming of the journal, establishes a unique position in the marketplace. RationaleA geographical perspective has always been crucial to the understanding of the social and physical organisation of the world around us. The techniques of spatial analysis provide a powerful means for the assembly and interpretation of evidence, and thus to address critical questions about issues such as crime and deprivation, immigration and demographic restructuring, retailing activity and employment change, resource management and environmental improvement. Many of these issues are equally important to academic research as they are to policy makers and Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy aims to close the gap between these two perspectives by providing a forum for discussion of applied research in a range of different contexts  Topical and interdisciplinaryIncreasingly government organisations, administrative agencies and private businesses are requiring research to support their ‘evidence-based’ strategies or policies. Geographical location is critical in much of this work which extends across a wide range of disciplines including demography, actuarial sciences, statistics, public sector planning, business planning, economics, epidemiology, sociology, social policy, health research, environmental management.   FocusApplied Spatial Analysis and Policy will draw on applied research from diverse problem domains, such as transport, policing, education, health, environment and leisure, in different international contexts. The journal will therefore provide insights into the variations in phenomena that exist across space, it will provide evidence for comparative policy analysis between domains and between locations, and stimulate ideas about the translation of spatial analysis methods and techniques across varied policy contexts. It is essential to know how to measure, monitor and understand spatial distributions, many of which have implications for those with responsibility to plan and enhance the society and the environment in which we all exist.   Readership and Editorial BoardAs a journal focused on applications of methods of spatial analysis, Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy will be of interest to scholars and students in a wide range of academic fields, to practitioners in government and administrative agencies and to consultants in private sector organisations. The Editorial Board reflects the international and multidisciplinary nature of the journal.
