Welcome/Housekeeping Turn on Speakers Phone Numbers Tech Support (2) (3) (open 24/7) Tim – (8:00 AM – 9 PM ET) Unit weeks run from Wednesday – Tuesday Will not Likely Get to This Week’s Assignments

Housekeeping Continued Call me Tim Ask Questions Any Time in Seminar Text Book – eBook – Doc Sharing Class Rules OK to eat and drink in class Clothes optional Must use Netiquette What’s New?

What’s New????? Each Week we will spend a few minutes chatting about what is happening in our lives and in the lives of our loved ones. Our goal is to become more familiar with one another and build relationships. As this happens, we will enjoy the class more and as we have more fun, we will spend more time in the course, and we will learn more. :o)

Class Requirements Posted each week under Weekly Unit # Also found in Gradebook Also found in Weekly Announcement from me Week 1 Assignments are Quiz Seminar Discussion Board

Course Requirements - DB Discussions Minimum 100 words to get credit Must post a QUALITY response to at least three other students – and on at least 3 different days! Post early in the week and post often PLEASE (Wednesday to Tuesday) Units 1,2,3,4,6,7,8, and points in each Unit. The Course is 1000 points total, so the DB totals 24% of the course. OK then, Let me start by telling you a little about how I grade: Discussion Board (db) - each week will have one discussion question. You are required to write a comprehensive comment for that question. I expect it to be about 100 words in length and while you may wish to copy something from the text or internet as part of your posting, I do not want a total cut and paste (unless it a second posting). For this comprehensive comment, I want more than just your opinion. If you give me your opinion, tell why you feel that way. Your posting should add to the discussion. FYI: this paragraph is EXACTLY 100 words. Questions?

Quiz The QUIZZES are worth 30 points and can be found in the same Units (1, 4, and 6), totaling 9% of your total grade. Each quiz is 10 questions (T/F and MC). Not the same goal as High school Here we want you to open the text book How to get 100% every time Take a few questions at a time, submit, redo as necessary During week, unlimited attempts/unlimited time After Unit (week) closes – 1 attempt/3 hours

Seminars The seminars are worth 30 points each (24% of your overall grade) and also occur every week except weeks 5 and 10. Tonight is not a good representation of what the seminars are like - usually they are fun and you will find it is easy to become very involved. However, if you should miss it, and would like to receive credit for the seminar, you are required to write a word paper on the seminar topic. The alternative assignment goes in Doc Sharing. Questions on seminars?

Crime Analysis: Crime Linkage Determine and identify crime patterns and crime series through data analysis. Modus operandi (MO) = starting point for pattern detection and statistical analysis.

Crime Analysis: Crime Linkage Computer mapping patterns Assist in defining similar crime patterns, occurrences and geographical concentration. Basis for linking serial crimes Unique MO or signature behaviors

Universal Factors: Crime Analysis Property Loss Descriptive Geographic Chronologic Crime Type Suspect Vehicle Victim Target Suspect

Crime Information Bulletins Brief analytical statements Often warn about specific criminal or criminal activity Inform officers of crime patterns, trends, or series crimes Describe valuable criminal information on continuing events

Crime Information Bulletins Familiarize officers with offenses committed Information of days, times of offenses, locations, and possible suspects May identify potential victim MO information and suspects’ vehicles

Be On the Look Out (BOLO) Inform officers that a particular offender is wanted for interview or arrest Most effective when it includes specific information regarding the suspect’s vehicle, description, and address Useful in cases of hot pursuit of: Known criminal offenders Possibility of injury to officers

Conclusion Criminal analysis, crime prevention, and intervention strategies dominant forces Strategic and tactical criminal information, combined with crime mapping strategies provides accurate criminal information. Diminishing resources Police must learn to do more with less. Cost of crime prevention minimal Opportunities and rewards optimal
