Spatial analysis of the connections between police accessibility and intensity of crime

Summary/Abstract: Within the framework of the Project “Good State –Good Police”, the authors are seeking answer to the question if there is any connection between spatial intensity of crime and the location of police installations (police stations, regional commissioned offices). The study presents whether there is any relationship between the intensity of crime and the distance of police installations from settlements,that is, how reporting willingness is affected by the distance between police installations and settlements. Based on the results, there is no obvious correlation between the intensity of crime and the police accessibility in the case of a given settlement (ora small region). However, it cannot be categorically declared that there is no relation between the distance from police installations to the places of residence and reporting willingness. For calculations, the authors used the GPS-based distance counting database of Google Maps and their self-developed JavaScript software. The JavaScript software helped to find the two nearest settlement-police station combinations in a straight line.
