Summary
In this publication, researchers from George Mason University's Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy illustrate in concrete and practical terms how emerging practices of hot spot policing can be specifically applied to juvenile offending. This innovative guide breaks new ground by providing technical guidance to assist crime analysts seeking to produce juvenile hot spot maps. It also provides insights about place-based interventions that can be targeted to prevent juvenile offending at micro-hot spots: specific street blocks and intersections found to have elevated levels of juvenile offending.
