JUS-640 Topic 6 Administrative Crime Analysis Worksheet

Scoring Guide

Imagine that you are a Crime Analyst tasked with monitoring burglaries in the area surrounding the two Major League Baseball fields in Chicago.

Access the Chicago Police Department CLEAR map: http://gis.chicagopolice.org/CLEARMap/startPage.htm#

You will be retrieving the data for burglaries from each of the following “Wards” (Wards, are the equivalent to City Council districts) which are near the two baseball fields: Wards 11, 32, 44, and 47.

Do the following for each Ward:

Step 1: Use the default date range period (two weeks from today’s date).

Step 2: Using the “Click a search by Method” taskbar, click on “Ward”.

Step 3: Select from the dropdown menu the number of the Ward you want to view, i.e. 11.

Step 4: Go to the taskbar entitled: “Optional: Change Parameters to Filter Results before clicking GO”. Under “Crime Types”, select “Burglary”. And under “Hours” and “Locations” select “ALL”.

Step 5: Go to the “Wards” dropdown to the Ward number you selected and click “GO”.

Check each of the four Wards, and record the number of burglaries, and the day of the week on which they occurred.

Find the Ward with the lowest number of burglaries, calculate the midpoint between them and use that number as the target. Use this data to complete the table below.

Part I:

Complete the table below, using your assigned textbook readings as a model. This table constitutes a crime reduction plan (See pages 405-409).

Part II:

Provide a 150-200-word rationale for the decisions you made in the table above.
