Lab Assignment:
Analyzing Crime Patterns with ArcMap GIS - The Case of the Hollywood Arsonist

Introduction

Beginning around New Year's Eve 2011 and continuing for a day or two into 2012, an arsonist terrorized neighborhoods in Los Angeles from Hollywood to the San Fernando Valley.

Your job in this assignment is to become an arson investigator with the Los Angles Police Department's GIS investigative team. You've got to help the authorities nab the arsonist.

If you enjoy this type of analysis, you may want to consider taking the Forensic Geography course. Some folks find careers doing this type of analysis for the federal, state or local law enforcement agencies.
