This first-of-its-kind text provides comprehensive coverage of the theoretical and practical aspects of crime mapping as well as hands-on instruction in the practical use of GIS for the spatial analyses of crime data. 
 The last five years have seen a dramatic increase in law enforcement agencies that are using GIS and crime mapping, and the federal government has boosted support to law enforcement agencies conducting crime mapping. The demand for crime mapping education and training continues to grow. In response, universities and community colleges have begun to provide education and training in crime mapping and spatial analysis, but a void has existed in textbook materials to support these training efforts-until now. 
 Spatial Aspects of Crime: Theory and Practice is the first book specifically designed to teach the theoretical and practical aspects of mapping for criminal justice purposes. The authors include the most current uses for GIS in the criminal justice system, theoretical aspects of the geography of crime and practical instruction, and exercises on how to use GIS to conduct crime mapping and spatial analysis of crime. Section III of the book is a complete GIS workbook, including exercises and sample data, to provide readers with an understanding of a full range of topics from entering data into a GIS to advanced spatial analysis methods such as hot spot analysis and density mapping. .

?The legendary Terry Sawchuk is said to have kept parts of himself in jars: one for teeth, one for bone chips, and another for his appendix. no cage contains a stare that well is jarring in much the same way. Each poem in this collection is a self-contained vessel in which a distinct bit of our national game a player or a fight, a save or a goal, an injury or a regret is preserved; mementos cross-cut into countless sheets of ice. Often dark and brooding, this book offers a league of gloomy characters: a spiteful Zamboni driver and a nearly blinded beer-leaguer; a maimed minor-hockey coach and that over-bearing hockey dad you’ve heard in the rink. These are poems about hockey shifting their way through the game, its characters, images, and passions. no cage contains a stare that well is like an impossible glove save in overtime exulting in the game while examining the darker, musty corners of its locker rooms. But these poems speak to life off-ice as well: to how we know what we know, how we feel what we feel, and how we win or lose.

Poetry

a misFit book

The two sections that comprise matt robinson’s fourth full-length volume of poetry, Against the Hard Angle, though disparate in terms of form  the first consisting primarily of a long poem; the other a collection of shorter lyrical pieces  nonetheless share a common concern with ideas of relationship and its examination. At their core, these are poems about where we stand in relation to the rest of our various worlds. In the collection’s opening section, the eponymous (and 2009 Malahat Review Long Poem Award winning) against the hard angle” steadily develops a grudging momentum, all the while searching for a way to articulate loss, in the end becoming a kind of meditative catalogue of relationship breakdown and divorce. The second section takes as its immediate subject matter a different sort of relationship altogether. Having returned home after nearly a decade elsewhere, these are poems that reference robinson’s native Halifax, NS, more specifically and vividly than in his previous work; these are lines with the near / magical pull of some deep-seeded magnet now spinning, / we’d guess, completely / and fully out of control  a crazed, elemental / ballet.” Part extended love song to and for a city and part meditation on what a city can both say to and about us, Against the Hard Angle uses some of Halifax’s most and least famous places as jumping off points for a stop-and-start lyrical tour of eastern Canada’s largest urban centre, a sometimes fraught journey that leaves us all tendon-tensed, / against impact, near white-knuckled to / breakage.”
