This document is designed to assist law enforcement professionals in identifying and responding to near repeat patterns of victimization. Several open source tools are broadly discussed as they are necessary to quantify near repeat patterns and develop interventions; we encourage you to review those program’s user manuals for more details.
This report will help you:
- Understand what near repeat patterns are and why they are useful to policing
- Evaluate global and local patterns of near repeat
- Formulate appropriate responses these patterns
- Develop program metrics to understand the effect of the intervention
- Evaluate a near repeat crime prevention program
