Next Generation Risk Terrain Modeling Software: Development and Sustainability

As submitted by the proposer: The scope of this proposal is to develop a “commercial” quality software application for risk terrain modeling to aid public safety researchers and practitioners in crime analysis, forecasting, resource allocation, prevention, and risk reduction efforts. Deliverables will include a financially sustainable (i.e., beyond the funding support requested here) software application, as well as user manuals, a training curriculum, and related resources for making the software outputs transparent, actionable, measurable and testable among a wide variety of lay and expert end- users. ca/ncf
