Sample questions and use cases
Information about relative risk of crime is important to users such as law enforcement agencies, researchers, real estate firms, and public health officials. Esri Crime Indexes data can be used to identify crime patterns, allocate resources, create site strategies, and improve emergency response plans.
Sample questions that can be answered using Crime Indexes data may include the following:
- Are there patterns in crime rates regionally over time?
- Does this city have enough police officers in areas with high crime rates?
- What is the relative risk of crime in this ZIP code compared with another?
Example use cases for Crime Indexes data include the following:
 | Local and regional first responder teams use Crime Indexes data to improve emergency call response times and guide citywide crime prevention efforts. This data can also be used to identify potentially high-risk areas and develop strategies, scenarios, and risk-mitigating responses to improve positive outcomes during natural disasters or local emergencies. |
 | Health-care providers can combine Crime Indexes data with regional health statistics to communicate the impact of crime on health and well-being. |
