Crime mapping in the province of cagayan

Ever since maps have been available that depict the geographic features of communities, such as streets and city boundaries, police departments have used such maps to determine patrol areas and emergency routes as well as to assist patrol officers in finding specific addresses. Police departments have also mapped crime, a process that, until recently, involved the manual placement of pins on hand-drawn wall maps. The emergence of computerized crime mapping as a tool for conducting crime analysis begins with an introduction to key terms and then describes basic concepts before presenting a history of crime mapping and information on the field's current status and career paths. This research aimed to determine the different crimes committed in Cagayan province from 2014 to 2015. The information and data that were gathered and secured from the records of the PNP in different municipalities were organized, tabulated, and analyzed for better analysis and interpretation using frequency count and different techniques or statistical treatment. From the findings of the study, the researchers came up with the conclusion that the volume of index and non-index crimes is greater in congested areas and thickly populated municipality thereby recommend that police visibility is should be in place to prevent the would-be criminals to commit crimes.
