Crime in Camden, America's Most Dangerous City
by
C. Dyson
Despite its small population of just 70,0000 inhabitants, Camden (NJ) has been in the top 10 of America's most dangerous cities for more than half a century with just some rare gaps. In fact crime rate in Camden rarely subsided too much since the time the city picked up its infamous criminal background reputation in 1949. That was the year when an unemployed Howard Unruh murdered 13 people in 12 minutes, having thus set the sad record of killing as many people in as little time - more than one per minute! - and becoming the first known single-episode mass murderer in the USA's modern history.

The Basics of GIS Mapping
by
Ryan Frank
A geographic information system, or GIS, is used to gather, arrange and analyze information as it correlates with its geographical location. GIS mapping is thus the process of creating digital maps by layering onto them information from land surveys, satellite images, aerial pictures, statistical studies and any other source.

Emergency Services GIS Mapping - Better Service and Operations
by
Chris Erichsen
Today, GIS is used by Emergency Services personnel (fire, emergency medical, disaster) to plan their response to various scenarios, evaluate mitigation options, analyze events, and predict potential future scenarios. An example of GIS in emergency services is using a GIS to provide critical information to incident responders en route to an emergency. This can include evaluating the best street route for emergency vehicles. Using traffic data, GIS can plot the fastest route to an emergency and from the emergency to a hospital.

Geographic Profiling: One More Way Computers May Help Solve Crimes
by
Merlene Reynolds
Geographic profiling is a relatively new investigative support tool used by law enforcement agencies to help prioritize where to focus a major criminal investigation by using a computer program called "Rigel" which is based on the use of an algorithm named "Criminal Geographic Targeting." When combined with some basic assumptions about human behavior, geographic profiling can be a powerful tool to help law enforcement locate and arrest violent, serial offenders.
