Abstract:
The diffusion of computerised crime mapping in policing has been studied extensively. However, there is a lack of research concerned with the extent to which such systems are used after adoption. This paper develops a maturity model for geographic information systems in crime mapping. The model consists of eight maturity levels covering visualisation, communication, simulation, optimisation, organisation, and strategy. The purpose of such a model is to help practitioners and researchers study organisational evolution and determine future direction in police organisations' use of electronic systems when mapping crime.Keywords: COMPUTING JOURNALS; Information Systems and Technology; Internet and Web Services; PUBLIC POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION JOURNALS; Public Administration
