Abstract


This paper identifies the distribution of the crimes to challenge facing the police departments that pursue to implement computerized crime mapping systems. The paper highlights the importance of police departments identifying the thematic mapping creating for the rural crime areas.

GIS can be used as a tool to identify factors contributing to crime, and thus allow police to proactively respond to the situations before they become problematic. Generally, GIS includes data transfer, geocoding, data integration, system customization, and confidentiality issues are discussed in detail.

*2016 Journal Impact Factor was established by dividing the number of articles published in 2014 and 2015 with the number of times they are cited in 2016 based on Google Scholar, Google Search and the Microsoft Academic Search. If ‘A’ is the total number of articles published in 2014 and 2015, and ‘B’ is the number of times these articles were cited in indexed publications during 2016 then, journal impact factor = A/B.
