The Three Considerations

 

Time

Crime data was provided with a monthly temporal scale. Using this information, spatial changes may be studied as a result of changes in time. The overall number of thefts per month may also be compared on a monthly basis to determine if there is a particular time of year in which car theft is more or less likely.

Zoning

How does the zoning of a particular neighbourhood or area affect car theft? Are there particular zoning districts that experience a higher than expected number of car thefts? The findings of these questions have implications for the dominant boolean model of zonal planing.
