CRJ 373 - Crime Mapping and Intelligence-Led Policing (3)

This course introduces the concept of data analysis as students make the connection between computational outputs, social media, and multi-platform communication. Concepts, tools, and techniques are introduced throughout this collaborative and interdisciplinary course before students embark on a series of information gathering tasks. Students will use data and written and visual analysis to explore larger regional questions. Students will take part in weekly data sprint exercises before choosing one criminal justice-related topic to investigate for the semester. Students will also be responsible for creating one multimedia project for their final grade.
