Abstract
Spatial Analysis of Crime Data-City of Montreal, Canada Track: Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Author(s): Frédéric Bédard, Josée Savoie, Krista Collins The National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) of Canada requested Statistics Canada to produce a spatial analysis of Montreal's crime data. The analysis focused on two main topics: (1) the relationship between crime density, land use and various socioeconomic and demographic indicators, which was based on a similar analysis completed in 2004 for the city of Winnipeg, Canada; and (2) the travel patterns of the accused to the crime location by crime type. The overall objective is to help the NCPC develop crime prevention strategies for the city at the neighbourhood level.
