Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Terrain Modeling: Brokering Criminological Theory and GIS Methods for Crime Forecasting
TL;DR: Results suggest that risk terrains provide a statistically significant forecast of future shootings across a range of cut points and are substantially more accurate than retrospective hot spot mapping.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of prehospital care times for trauma.
TL;DR: National averages for prehospital times for trauma patients transported by helicopter and ground ambulance over a 30-year period are determined so that policymakers can compare individual emergency medical systems to national norms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Clusters, Hotspots, and Spatial Intelligence: Risk Terrain Modeling as an Algorithm for Police Resource Allocation Strategies
TL;DR: RTM can be developed to the point where it may be more readily adopted by police crime analysts and enable police to be more effectively proactive and identify areas with the greatest probability of becoming locations for crime in the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Police-monitored CCTV cameras in Newark, NJ: A quasi-experimental test of crime deterrence
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a test of the crime-deterrent effect of police-monitored street-viewing CCTV cameras using viewsheds of areas that were visible by cameras via direct line-of-sight and that were digitized using easily replicable methods, Google Maps, and standard GIS tools.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vulnerability and Exposure to Crime: Applying Risk Terrain Modeling to the Study of Assault in Chicago
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a strategy to model risky places that combines the conceptual insights of crime emergence and persistence, advances in geo-spatial analytical techniques, and micro-level data and empirically test using a GIS based program, RTMDx, on aggravated assault data in an urban area.
