Crime in Prague

Publication

Abstract

The map sheet aims to assess the development and spatial differentiation (based on LPDs and city zones) of recorded crime in Prague with an emphasis on the period since the mid-90s up to the present. The maps use a typology which is a combination of crime index (number of criminal offences per number of residents) and detection (number of criminal offences in which the identity of the perpetrator is known).

Although detection is closely linked to the structure of crime (in some criminal offences it is easier to identify the perpetrators), it provides a unique insight into the crime differentiation in Prague.
