Crime hot spot analysis and mapping primarily involves retrospective analysis, description, and visualization of areas with high crime concentrations based on spatial intelligence in order to allocate police resources and implement specific tactics.
“This approach primarily involves the retrospective analysis, description, and visualization of areas with high crime concentrations based on spatial intelligence in order to allocate police resources and implement specific tactics (Ariel et al., 2016;Ariel & Partridge, 2017;Collazos et al., 2020;Corsaro et al., 2021).”

In place-based policing studies, preventing major interference often required buffer zones to ensure that control areas did not receive any part of the treatment.
“Given the focus on place-based policing, preventing major interference often required buffer zones to be created, to ensure that control areas did not receive any part of the treatment (e.g., Ariel et al., 2020;Collazos et al., 2020).”

Many of the studies included in this review addressed concerns regarding the stable unit treatment value assumption (SUTVA).

“To the best of our knowledge, alongside the Blattman et al. (2018) study in Bogotá and the Sherman et al. (2014) study in Trinidad and Tobago, this is one of the first hot spots policing evaluations in Latin America, and one of the largest by an order of magnitude. To set up this experiment, we first split the street…”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
