The scholarly investigation delves into a subject that has garnered limited attention:
the dissemination of criminal activities through cartographic representations. Despite
the ubiquitous presence of maps in various media outlets such as crime reports, newspapers,
television, and online platforms, scholarly inquiry into this matter remains scant.
Maps have long served as a conventional method of visual display within the field
of criminal sciences, yet divergent viewpoints persist regarding their dissemination.
While proponents advocate for the publication of crime maps, contending that they
facilitate public awareness, others caution against their dissemination, citing potential
misinterpretations. The primary objective of the study is to elucidate strategies
for effectively presenting and communicating crime-related information to the general
populace. Furthermore, the investigation endeavors to delineate the advantages and
drawbacks associated with the publication of crime maps
