Abstract
 Reducing Crime with GIS, Lee County Florida Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Author(s): Richard Faris, Shannon Northorp, Nora Donato-Hitchcock, Jason Krejci, Anthony Miller, Nora Donato-Hitchcock Lee County, Florida uses GIS to maximize the effectiveness of programs addressing crime. GIS maps and graphics coordinate the actions of the multiple police departments and public safety agencies responding to youth crime in the county. GIS analysis shapes the design and evaluates the efficiency of crime prevention and restorative justice initiatives. GIS projects presented with the paper show trend data on the effectiveness of programs responding to youth crime, the relationship between crime locations in residential zones and the offender home addresses, and geographic coordination of agency jurisdictions. The paper documents the second phase of GIS utilization to support a major study of youth crime in Lee County.
