an incident risk analysis.
Before you begin
Configure data sources that include zones and reporting areas, historical crime data, and
weather data. Also, configure analytics for boundary areas. For more information, see the related

About this task
Crime risk assessment uses historical data to project the likelihood of future criminal activity by type, location, and day or time. You can limit the analysis to day, time, or location. You configure and manage crime analytics with the integrated crime analytics configuration tool.Procedure
- In the Integrated Crime Analytics view, click .
- To view charts of the three areas that are most likely to experience crime, select an analysis
and a date and time on the Results tab in the Incident Risk Analysis
window, then click Run. The Results tab displays the probability of each type of crime in the
three areas that are most likely to experience crime. If any crime is likely to occur in the
selected zone during the selected hour, the individual crime model assesses and displays the
probability that a crime of a particular crime type occurs.
- To view the probability of crime during each of the nine hours starting with the selected time,
select Show incident probability by hour, then click
Run. Crime probability by hour is listed for each of the three areas most likely to experience
crime.
- You can view the crime risk for each zone or reporting area on the map. Click a zone to view details about the crime types and probability.
- To view the list of crime probabilities by area and time, click the List
tab.
- To view information about the relevant analytic factors, if any, click the
Factors tab.
- To validate crime risk analysis compared to actual crime, click the
Validation tab.
- Select an analysis.
- Select the beginning date and time period (day, week, or month).
- Click Run. The summary shows crime risk compared to actual during the selected time
period.
