Overview:
In this assignment, you will read twenty crime reports. These crime reports provide a
real-world example of the work Crime Analysts does daily. You will gather data from the
crime reports to complete a crime data matrix. This matrix will help you see the crime
patterns.
Instructions:
In a Word document, discuss the following:
o the types of programs that work best for different stages of crime analysis.
o the types of data used for crime analysis.
o the quality and usefulness of each type of data.
Create a crime analysis matrix using Microsoft Access, Word, or Excel.
o The matrix should include at least eight columns, but you may choose to
have more if you want to add additional information.
The information should include at a minimum:
Incident number
Date and time of report
Date and time of incident (the to and from date/time range)
Location (address)
Location type (residence, business type, etc.)
Incident type (Robbery, Burglary, Car Break, Car theft, etc.)
Suspect information (name and description if provided)
Additional information from the narrative in the report (i.e. entry and exit
from building if applicable, target items, etc.). This should be in a
comments section of your file and be brief but informative. (Example:
Suspect broke into house using cellar window, ate food from Refrigerator,
took pillowcase to remove items.)
Analyze the crime reports.
Fill in the matrix with information from each of the 20
crime reports.
o The matrix should have information that you want to easily access in later
assignments so take your time when reading your crime reports.
