Clues derived from the locations connected to violent repeat criminal offenders,
such as serial murderers, rapists, and arsonists, can be of significant assistance
to law enforcement. Such information allows police departments to
focus their activities, geographically prioritize suspects, and to concentrate
saturation or directed patrolling efforts in those zones where the criminal
predator is most likely to be active. By examining spatial data connected to a
series of crime sites, this methodological model generates a choropleth
probability map that indicates the areas most likely to be associated to the offender--
home, work site, or travel routes. Based on the Brantingham theoretical
structure and the routine activities approach, the model goes beyond
simple cluster or centroid analysis by employing specific serial murder
research, overlapping modified Pareto functions, and Manhattan distances.
The methodology is also sensitive to the target/victim opportunity backcloth,
landscape issues, and problems of spatial "outliers."
