The Hotspot Matrix
Since the conference, the full paper has now become available from the Journal of Police Practice and Research, so click here.

The PowerPoint slides that relate to the Hotspot Matrix are available, if you wish to use them. Due to constraints of filesize, I've removed the temporal map animations.

If you want to use an html version of the hotspot matrix, then feel free to adapt this one. It would probably import into Word fairly easily.
