The Crime Ecology: Ambient Temperature vs. Spatial Setting of Crime (Burglary)

Surface temperature has been seen as factors inducing stress and discomfort. Patterns in the increasing of stress and discomfort among human are eventually related to crime convicted. Therefore, patterns in the crime rate are seems to be linked to the temporal and ecological factors. This study aims...

Description
Summary:Surface temperature has been seen as factors inducing stress and discomfort. Patterns in the increasing of stress and discomfort among human are eventually related to crime convicted. Therefore, patterns in the crime rate are seems to be linked to the temporal and ecological factors. This study aims to investigate the potential use of remote sensing and GIS technology in identifying the highly potential crime rate area based on historical data of crime and its relationship to the ambient temperature. Based on this study, the relationship of crime convicted with heat or surface temperature is identified.
