ABSTRACT

This research mapped and analyzed crime incidences between 2010 and 2011 in Kaduna Metropolis, Kaduna state, Nigeria Using Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques. This was achieved by identifying and mapping the crime types, analyzing the spatial occurrence of the crimes, examining the temporal occurrence of crime and also identifying the hot spots areas in the metropolis. The data on crime were obtained from the 15 Police Divisional Headquarters within the metropolis. An administrative map of the study area was obtained from the Ministry of Land and Survey Kaduna State which was used as the base map for the study. Microsoft excel and ArcGIS version 9.3 was used to analyzed the data.A total of eleven (11) crime typeswere identified. Theft/Stealing had the highest incidence with 19.29% while Kidnapping was the least with 0.46%.The general distribution of crime in the metropolis revealed thatTudunWada had the highest crime with 15.05% while SabonGari had the least with 3.27%. The spatial distribution of each crime types showed that Armed Robbery was highest in Sabon Tasha with 13.64%, Murder in Rigachikun with 27.36%, Assault in Tudunwada with 21.75%, Theft/Stealing inTudunwada with 17.2%, Rape in Rigachikun with 19.1%, Forgery in Kabala West with 13.23%, Burglary in Tudun Wada with 19.2%. Suicide in Rigachikun with 26.54%, Cheating in Tudun Wada with 14.52%, Hurting/Fighting in SabonTash with 17.1% and Kidnapping in Rigachikun with 27.3%. The temporal distribution of crime revealed that crimes are committed most in December and January with 26.9% and 22.45% for both 2010 and 2011.The study identified four (4) crime hot spots using the clustering techniques : Tudun Wada, Sabon Tasha, Rigachikun and Rigasa. These are areas where crime incidences exceed the average for the metropolis. The study therefore recommends that more effort in terms of personnel deployment or location of more police formations should be intensified in areas with high crime incidences and also crime documentation should be done alongside withabsolute location and time of the day or week for a better hot spots and temporal analysis. The use of GIS as a tool should be adopted in decision making, planning and management of crime with the aim of reducing the menace of crime in Kaduna Metropolis.
