Simple Random Sampling - ANSWER a probability sampling procedure in which every
sampling unit has a known and equal chance of being selected. Can be done with or
without replacement.
Systematic Random Sampling - ANSWER type of simple random sampling where there is
no sampling frame. Uses a randomly generated number to determine where to start,
then pull out every nth element. Your "n" is selected by dividing the total number of
cases by the number needed for a sample - called a sample interval.
Stratified Random Sampling - ANSWER Uses presampling information about the
population to divide a sample into strata based on characteristics of interest.
Disproportionate Stratified Sampling - ANSWER Depend heavy on the smaller groups
in order to ensure cases from the smaller strata are represented sufficiently which
means equal number of all crime types regardless of proportion.
Proportionate Stratified Sampling - ANSWER Sample size of each stratum is
determined by its proportion in the population if homicide makes up 1 percent of all of
your crimes you want homicide cases to make up 1 percent of your sample.
Cluster Sampling - ANSWER Used when naturally occurring groups with a high degree
of homogeneity need to be sampled. Used to overcome limitations when attempting to
sample a large population.
Single-stage Cluster - ANSWER Randomly select some of the clusters for your sample
and then take data from everyone in those clusters.
Multi-stage Cluster - ANSWER First randomly select among the clusters then randomly
,select within those smaller clusters.
Information vs Intelligence - ANSWER Information is the product of analysis but is
useless unless communicated or shared. Once information has been communicated, it
becomes knowledge and it can be used. Intelligence is information that has operation
value as a product it is actionable.

6. Evaluation and Feedback
Tactical Crime Analysis - ANSWER Short term development of priorities/resources.
Action-oriented process meant to serve immediate needs of the agency. Entails daily

Most of the tactical crime analysis techniques and efforts related to patterns of activity.
Strategic Crime Analysis: - ANSWER Concerns long term crime trends in order to

Information obtained covertly, kept confidentially, and stored securely.
Administrative Analysis - ANSWER Looking at the internal needs of your specific
agency/community.

and improve efficiency of PD.
, Key Areas Intelligence Led Policing - ANSWER TRAMP - Training, Resolving tech
barriers, Apply criminal intelligence system operating policies, Understand intelligence
process, Managers' access to intelligence, Police leadership emphasized.
Intelligence-led policing ANSWER Gained tremendous momentum post 9/11-need for
better intel. operations. Goal: data analysis and collection of crime intelligence key to
decision making. Crime/problem reduction, disruption, and prevention through
ENFORCEMENT that targets specific and repeat offenders. Think Tactical!
Analyst Role -Intelligence Led Policing - ANSWER Think tactical - provide actionable
information, through appropriate dissemination, for decision makers to use in focusing
limited resources. Proactive as opposed to Reactive work.
Predictive Policing ANSWER Falls under Intelligence-Led Policing - you use a lot of the
same pieces from Intelligence-Led policing, it just takes the intel portion a little further.
Goal: predict where crime and disorder are likely to occur based on information about
community and previous incidents using statistical techniques.
Analyst Role Predictive Policing - ANSWER Analyst goal is to produce actionable
(tactical) results based on reliable data that has been interpreted/translated by an
analyst (Example - Northtown stats project).
Data Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) - ANSWER One of the
most popular data-drive models currently. Looks more at a broader picture of the
community/what is going on in the specific area. Integrates all the data regarding
crashes, crimes, calls for service, and enforcement together. Over lay on map to find
the "hot spots". Send officers in that particular area at the high problem time. Idea is
high visibility of LE officers in an area which reduces crimes and crashes, Social Harm.
Analyst Role in DDACTS - ANSWER Spend time dedicated to analyzing traffic and
crime data - you find the hot spots.
CompStat (Accountability) - ANSWER CompStat goes with Accountability -
Management process that sets a clear accountability structure using crime and
