This post is a continuation of the once a week Friday Analysts' Corner post to explain, for working crime analysts, how to keep track of pattern data in their own files using MS Excel.
The Center for Problem Oriented Policing has produced fifty-four Problem Specific Guides.
Use these guides to help you decide what things you should track. Local level law enforcement analysts should track the crime listed next from the list of fifty-four because you will better be able to find important patterns and series and review the guides linked to the types of crime:
Robbery of Convenience Stores
Robbery of Taxi Drivers
Robbery at Automated Teller Machines
Theft In and From Cars on Residential Streets and Driveways
Thefts of and From Cars in Parking Facilities
Burglary of Retail Establishments
Burglary of Single-Family Houses
Burglary at Single-Family House Construction Sites
The Problem of Bank Robbery
You should track all shooting incidents, including Drive-by Shootings.
All sex offenses should be tracked, including Acquaintance Rape of College Students.
Next week's lesson will focus on tracking sex offenses.
