TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - The "hottest" part of a hotspot: comments on "the utility of hotspot mapping for predicting spatial patterns of crime" JO - Security journal A1 - Levine, Ned SP - 295 EP - 302 VL - 21 IS - 4 N2 - The recent article by Chainey et al. (2008) in the Security Journal made an important contribution to the analysis of crime hotspots by developing a criterion for comparing methods that identify hotspots. However, the methodology they adopted to compare several specific hotspot techniques was limited and, consequently, raised doubts about the conclusions they drew.
