CrimeMalta Background
The CrimeMalta Website brings you real crime
analysis based on 10 years of research. In a study initiated
in 1997, crimes from 1950 to date have been geocoded and digitised to
help create analytical tables and charts that are easy to
understand and review.
Using state-of-the-art technology (GIS -
Geographical or Spatial Information Systems), crime reported
to the Malta Police Force since 1998 have been mapped based
on the offence location. This process enables spatio-temporal
analysis of crimes in Malta by the location they occur in,
when they are committed and the potential link to the place
they occur in.
A Web-GIS of Maltese Crime will enable users
to browse and print maps of crime at different spatial layers
such as districts and local councils as based on the NUTS (administrative units classification)
nomenclature. Smaller units have been analysed foremost amongst which are enumeration areas as identified by Census.
Another feature developed in this site
concerns the CRISOLA and RISC Mrodels, the former giving methodological substance to crime and space, whilst the dynamic RISC Model enables the creation of a league table of local councils as
they experience offence reporting over time. Outputs at annual
and monthly by crime categories will be reviewed. More detailed
RISC information is available on request.
In addition, statistical and spatio-statistical
outputs will be generated. The map below shows such a map
based on crime locations reported in the Grand Harbour and
the results of a method called clustering analysis that shows
the major hotspots of crime in the region.
Visitors to this site are encouraged to subscribe to our newsletter informing them of new occurrences and information relative to crime trends in the Maltese Islands.
