Geography and Public Safety Volume 1, Issue 2, July 2008
|
| Abstract:
Issue 2 of the Geography and Public Safety Newsletter, a quarterly newsletter produced by the COPS Office and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), discusses traffic safety and law enforcement. In this issue, “Creating a Safer Houston through Crash Mapping” highlights the benefits of mapping crash data; the DWI Resource Center illustrates mapping programs used to target alcohol-impaired driving; the Technical Tips section examines the creation of base maps and layer files for cartographic consistency. This newsletter will be useful for police practitioners at all levels who are interested in geography and its relationship to crime, as well as for researchers, policy makers, and others interested in understanding the impact of geography on public safety.
