Bair Software Inc.'s SPACE (Spatial Predictive Analysis of Crime Extension), a free crime analysis tool for Law Enforcement, provides a set of crime analysis tools useful for analyzing spatial information as a add-on to ESRI's ArcGIS application. In the past, analysts relied on the Animal Movement Extension for ArcView 3.x and CASE (Crime Analysis Spatial Extension) for ArcMap 8.3 through 9.2 to perform functions such as: sequencing events, linking stolen to recovered vehicles, calculating a study area based on a Minimum Convex Hull Polygon or Standard Deviation Ellipse, and determining clustering based on Nearest Neighbor analysis. SPACE builds upon these past extensions and improves them for use in ArcMap 9.2/9.3.
