Description: SUMMARY: CrimeStat, which can be downloaded for free from the website listed below, is a spatial statistics program for the analysis of crime incident locations, developed by Ned Levine & Associates under the direction of Ned Levine, PhD, that was funded by grants from NIJ. The program is Windows-based and interfaces with most desktop GIS programs. The purpose is to provide supplemental statistical tools to aid law enforcement agencies and criminal justice researchers in their crime mapping efforts. CrimeStat is being used by many police departments around the country as well as by criminal justice and other researchers. The new version is 3.1 (CrimeStat III). The program inputs incident locations (e.g., robbery locations) in 'dbf', 'shp', ASCII or ODBC-compliant formats using either spherical or projected coordinates. It calculates various spatial statistics and writes graphical objects to ArcView(AE), MapInfo(AE), Atlas*GIS(TM), Surfer(AE) for Windows, and ArcView Spatial Analyst©. Training is also available through the website. Visit http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/NACJD/crimestat.html/about.html for more information.
