Use in-text citations and remember to cite your sources in APA format. Be sure to follow instructions and answer each part of the question completely, failure to do so will result in a point reduction per question. I will check the word count for this assignment and deduct additional points if the paper does not meet the minimum requirements stated above. Encyclopedias and Dictionaries are not appropriate research sources at this level. No Wikipedia!
I expect perfect APA technique at this level. You also are expected to do more than the bare minimum word count and scholarly sources at this level. The essay presentation is more scholarly than paragraphs of short answers and helps build the skills needed for doctoral programs.
General Instructions: Read Case- Title: A systematic review on spatial crime forecasting
Publication: May 27, 2020 Link: https://crimesciencejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s40163-020-00116-7
Start by summarizing the key events in a clear and persuasive manner. Next, do some research and report any significant developments that may have occurred since the time the case study was published. Be sure to properly cite your sources. The word count for this section is between 500 – 800 words.
In this assigned case study, you will be connecting all the materials presented in the unit. The key theme for the case study is the exploration and analysis of different methodologies used in predicting crime locations and patterns through spatial data analysis.
In a narrative format, discuss the impact of sampling error and sample size determination. Specifically, this study gives you a platform to explore how different studies manage sampling error and how they determined the appropriate sample size. Reason: These aspects can influence the confidence intervals of the forecasts, showcasing the practical implications of theoretical principles in a real-world scenario.
Place yourself in the role of the chief of police for your geographic area. How would you plan to use the crime data to reduce crime in your area and why? Use sources to defend your answer. Specifically, support your decision by referencing other cases, journal articles, and personal experiences.
