It has long been established that place matters with respect to the opportunity for crime and the response to crime when it occurs. Presentations in this session will explore how geospatial data can provide robust information about the places crime occurs and the sometimes subtle contextual factors that contribute to crime, as well as the resources available to those most vulnerable to its effects.
