Abstract

Monitoring crime rate with statistical tools and modem scientific and technological methods determine the safely index or otherwise of a geographical area. This study explores the use of GIS classifications and mean and range charts for monitoring crime rates in a geographical area. The standard charts were constructed using the crime rates of the median levels of crimes from GIS classification of Katsina state crime data. The historical mean can be use to monitor the levels of the crimes in the future period. © Medwell Journals, 2012.
