“Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future.” Nils Bohr, Nobel laureate in Physics
Predictive Mapping • First advanced in 2004 (Johnson et al) • Increased risk within 400m for 6/7 weeks • Local view in 2005/6 = not useful – 400m from any Burglary in Leigh covers all of Leigh • Utilised in Trafford & linked to 25% reduction in Burglary Dwelling • Let’s have another look… • But… “the implementation of a strategy for which every burgled household and neighbours within 400m received crime reduction attention would require substantial resources…” (Johnson et al, 2006, Home Office)
The Changing Face of Near Repeats… • Initial research based on 2003/4 data • Wigan BD in 2003/4 = 2,813 • Wigan BD in 2010/1 = 1,266 • 55% reduction • Repeats and Near Repeats also likely to have reduced
Neighbourhood Area Burglary Offences 2010 Burglary Offences with no Near Repeat within 12 weeks % of Offences with no Near Repeats Not Everything Repeats… Pemberton (L1) 168 82 49% Wigan (L2) 232 135 58% Hindley (L3) 174 94 54% Leigh (L4) 344 122 35% Atherton (L5) 251 73 29% • 43% of Wigan’s Burglaries do not have a near repeat within 12 weeks • Much more likely in Atherton and Leigh • Ecological fallacy…
GI* Technique • GI* provides focus allied to statistical significance • Some overlap with strategic clusters • Highlights some new areas too • But… • Are any of these techniques predictive?
Predictive Abilities High volumes vs manageable intervention points
More supporting analysis… • Near Repeats identified and hotspotted • Still a large area to cover • Can we focus in any further?
‘Gaps In The Clouds’ • Near repeat hotspot • Overlaid with all 2010 Burglaries that DIDN’T see a near repeat • Reveals 4 areas where a Burglary ALWAYS sees a near repeat • Clear focus…
Stacking up the Evidence • Near Repeat hotspots + Analyse2Advance Clusters + GI* grids • All 4 Near Repeat hotspots contain Analyse2Advance Clusters • Significant grids on top of Analyse2Advance Clusters on top of Near Repeat hotspots = top priority • Refresh GI* weekly to keep live – tactical analysis underpinned by Strategic analysis
Stacking up the Evidence • Local picture in Leigh
A Combined Approach • Hierarchy of risk based on crimes falling into • GI* grids • Strategic clusters • Near repeat hotspots • Identify offenders living/operating within area and target (linked to IOM work) • Offences outside these areas should be prioritised after this but based on local knowledge of Near Repeats: • Pemberton - <300m <7days emphasis on day 1 • Wigan - <300m <7 days • Hindley – no near repeat evidence • Leigh – <300m <1 day • Atherton - <200m <7 days emphasis on day 3
Current Picture • Initial pilot exercise running since 24/10/2011 • 40% strike rate – importantly, in a manageable area • Number of arrests in identified areas • Monitoring patrol locations via dip sampling • Offender element to be added in soon • Partnership approach to be developed • Works with other thematic areas – TFMV, FDR3s
