The technology used by the full range of law enforcement agencies to replace
the old pins-in-the-map-on-the-wall technique of following crime in an area. Crime mapping
utilizes remote sensing and computer technology to create multi-dimensional computer displays
of the full range of criminal activity from car theft, vandalism, domestic violence, poverty
violence, child abuse, murders, drugs, to prostitution and pickpocketing. The technology of
crime mapping allows law enforcement personnel to archive, follow and even predict criminal
activity.
