Suggested strategies for activating the technique of geographic information systems in reducing the phenomenon of crime and terrorism

Abstract

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a very successful technique for clarifying environmental, spatial and social information through computer software and hardware. Information is stored, processed, arranged, organized, retrieved, analyzed, updated and obtained. With its high technology and precision, GIS tries to simplify the outside world through a database and a cartographic display that can answer multiple spatial questions. The information about a particular area is extracted in layers. Each layer represents a geographical phenomenon in the outside world.The researcher tries to clarify the possibility of modern technologies in the field of combating terrorism and crime, by answering the following questions: 1. what is GIS technology? What properties do you own?2. How can this technology be used to combat crime and terrorism?3 - Is it possible to build a spatial information base that the security services can use in the field of diagnosing criminals and terrorists and knowing their different characteristics?The GIS has a high quality potential in the field of combating crime and terrorism. This is done through the construction of a spatial information base on the security aspect, through which criminals and terrorists can be tracked and their areas of presence, distribution, and demographic, economic and social characteristics are identified. Attention in the preparation of security maps for all regions through the establishment of a database that enriches the security establishment, and attention to the establishment of an information systems unit belonging to each security institution in different regions and the involvement of experienced and competent in the planning decisions of JA Security.
