Exam 6: Geographic Data and Crime Mapping

Which mapping classification is MOST appropriate in mapping robbery locations over the last year to get a sense of the data distribution?

In density mapping, crime analysts use the exact coordinates of incidents to determine concentrations of incidents that are not limited to predetermined areas.

All but one of the following are steps in the geocoding process:

In mapping, using different numbers of categories typically yields similar results.

Two ways of locating tabular data on maps are matching records to parcel data and using latitude and longitude.

Crime analysts take two distinct approaches to the spatial analysis of crime and disorder problems: interactive and graduated mapping.

A GIS uses three types of features to represent objects and locations in the real world-points, lines, and polygons-which are more generally known as:

Geocoding is a seven-step process that is used to bring primary and geographic data together for mapping.

A type of mapping that does not limit does not limit the analyst to examination of predetermined areas, but shows how incidents cluster and concentrate across space.

When using either vector or raster data in GIS, it is unnecessary to make adjustments to the data files because GIS depicts geographic data in a round 3D form.
