The Need for Innovation of Security Education in Terms of Spatial Analyses of Crime
Journal Title: Security Dimensions - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 26
Abstract
Spatial analyses represent a precondition to understanding phenomena and their dynamics as well as the analysis of relations. Worldwide, spatial investigation of crime rates is not a novelty and the results are being actively used in the field of planning preventive activities as well as to present the results of mapping on web portals for the purposes of informing the public. In Slovakia, the crime rates are presumably observed on the level of districts and counties and based on these data, crime rate maps have been created since 2013. On the level of cities and municipalities, the punctuality of crime rate investigation is dependent upon the municipalities as such. Spatial investigation of crime rates is realized only within the range of research projects, namely in the cities of Prešov and Košice. In Košice, crime rates have been spatially investigated since 2013 and despite arguable results with the possibility of them being practically used, spatial investigation in Slovakia has not spread to other cities. One of the reasons is represented by the necessity of being acknowledged with geographical information systems and having sufficient knowledge in the field of rudiments of working with mapping outputs. One of the options in terms of how to fill in the gap is extending the security education in Slovakia and presenting the options the results of analyses might provide in relation to the practice.<br/><br/>
