MAPPING UNT 4

Mapping Guidelines

• The crime plotting example shows the crimes.
• When it asks for a cluster, you would look for a certain crime and decide if there is a cluster and in what section of the town it would be located.
• When it pertains to suggestions to the chief for shifts, you do this by time.
• The time plotting example shows the same crimes by shift.

• There are North, South, East, and West designations on the map.
• Central Avenue splits the town into a north and south area. Although the West section of Central Avenue holds industrial buildings, it then travels east and has mostly businesses (shops, bars, etc).
• The northeast section of town is the downtown harbor area in which people of higher means are living.
• The southeast section of town contains people of less than normal monetary means.
• The northwest section of town is a median-income area but has gangs.
• The southwest section of town has more of a residential feel.
• The west section at Central Avenue holds industrial buildings.
