Hotspot Mapping of House Breaking Crime Using Geography Information System

The crime of house breaking is a major problem in almost every country throughout the world. The continuation of house breaking crimes should be prevented in order to avoid the widespread of this circumstance so that less people become victims of this crime as well as to avoid from more loss of properties. Geography can be one of the factors that can contribute to criminal behaviors of house breaking which also involves other factors such as time, external potentials and opportunities that allows house breaking to occur. To effectively control this problem, a crime analysis should be conducted in order to determine the level of crime. The Geographic Information System (GIS) is a system where it has the ability to approach or to map and analyze crime house breaking space due to its effectiveness and efficiency in processing data analysis. Besides that, GIS can also integrate spatial data as well as attribute data. Therefore, the objectives of this paper are to identify crime pattern analysis, locations of house breaking hot spots and relationship the location of hot spots with the location of the police station.
