CrimeStat is a crime mapping software program. CrimeStat is Windows-based program that conducts spatial and statistical analysis and is designed to interface with a geographic information system (GIS). The program is developed by Ned Levine & Associates, with funding by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), an agency of the United States Department of Justice. The program and manual are distributed for free by NIJ. CrimeStat performs spatial analysis on objects located in a GIS. The objects can be points (e.g., events, locations), zones (e.g., blocks, traffic analysis zones, cities) or lines (e.g., street segments). The program can analyze the distribution of the objects, identify hot spots, indicate spatial autocorrelation, monitor the interaction of events in space and time, and model travel behavior. There is a regression module for non-linear spatial modeling. Some of its tools are specific to crime analysis. Others can by applied in many fields. There are 55 statistical routines in the program. ==Development== CrimeStat has been developed since the mid-1990s. The first prototype was a Unix-based C++ program called Pointstat that was developed to analyze motor vehicle crashes in Honolulu.〔Levine, N. "Spatial statistics and GIS: software tools to quantify spatial patterns", ''Journal of the American Planning Association''. 1996. 62 (3), 381-392.〕〔Levine, N., Kim, K. E., & Nitz, L. H. (1995). "Spatial analysis of Honolulu motor vehicle crashes: I. Spatial patterns". ''Accident Analysis & Prevention'', 27 (5), 663-674.〕 In 1996, the National Institute of Justice funded the first version of CrimeStat and the early Pointstat routines were folded into the program. The first version (1.0) was released in August 1999: the latest version is 3.3 (July 2010). * Up to version 3.1, CrimeStat was developed by Long Doan of Doan Consulting, Falls Church, VA. * Beginning at version 2.0, and solely from version 3.2, CrimeStat was developed by Haiyan Teng of Houston, TX. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CrimeStat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
