Abstract: The analysis and understanding of spatial crime patterns is crucial for law enforcements to improve strategic and tactical decision-making. In this context, generalized linear models, such as count regressions, are commonly applied. These non-spatial models are challenged by spatial autocorrelation effects, contradicting fundamental model assumptions. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to present a spatially explicit approach, which combines a negative binomial model and spatial filtering to explain the spatial distribution of nonviolent offences in Houston, TX, for the year 2010. The results provide evidence that the non-spatial negative binomial model is biased while the supplementary consideration of a spatial filter is capable to absorb these undesirable spatial effects and results in a wellspecified regression model. Moreover, besides the significant importance of space in the explanation of the non-violent crime patterns, only the percentage of renter-occupied housing units and the percentage of Asian population are significantly related to the crime. The former covariate has a stimulating effect while the latter has an inhibiting effect. Published Online: 2016/02/03 11:47:21 Object Identifier: 0xc1aa5576 0x0032b455 Rights: .
GIS as a technology has come a long way, from the
early adoption of technical wizardry to the ubiquitous,
if unconscious use by the masses. The creation
of the GISociety is on its way through technological
development, theoretical and empirical scientific
research and inclusion of technology into education
with increasing pedagogical justification.
Defining new dimensions of hard- and software,
brainware and orgware are all needed to further
develop the GISociety.
