How to use the latest crime mapping techniques to solve problems is the subject of a Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science event. JDI Director Prof Gloria Laycock says that the Geographic Information Systems and Crime conference at University College London on February 14 will cover crime prevention, detection, traffic and car crime, and managing resources. A GIS expert with a crime or policing colleague will work with delegates to explore the ways in which the latest GIS can be most usefully applied. Speakers include JDI academics Nick Tilley, Ken Pease and West Midlands Police DCI Richard Leary. Broadcaster Nick Ross will wind up the day. The JDi says the one-day conference will be dedicated to the integration of GIS and Crime Science under the sponsorship of the Jill Dando Crime Science Institute. The meeting will bring together crime science specialists drawn from police forces, local authorities and the Home Office with GIS experts to explore how emerging GI Science might be able to assist in crime applications.
