TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - A brief commentary on "the utility of hotspot mapping for predicting spatial patterns of crime" JO - Security journal A1 - Pezzuchi, Gaston SP - 291 EP - 292 VL - 21 IS - 4 N2 - Even though this article (Chainey et al., 2008) is extremely interesting and thought provoking, I have to admit that it includes a couple of mistakes that may potentially mislead uninformed readers. When it tackles the hotspot mapping techniques the authors confuse the "spatial ellipses" with some sort of spatial clustering technique.
