Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The use of GIS by police is primarily for producing descriptions of crime occurrences and analyzing the relationship between variables such as location and time. While suspect and location and witness and victim may be analyzed, they are not the primary focus of GIS analysis in crime mapping. Time and victim may also be analyzed, but again, location is the primary variable of interest in GIS crime mapping.
