Daniel Council | A Geographic Approach to Understanding Crime in Indiana

Crime mapping is a nearly 200-year-old discipline used by geographers, criminologists, and analysts to study criminal patterns and trends. As crime data has become more readily available to the public through online services such as the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer, the potential for crime mapping has grown extensively. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how crime mapping has evolved and provide an example of its practice by analyzing crime in Indiana.
