A)Buffers
B)Graduated color mapping
C)Chart mapping
D)Density mapping

Question 10

A polygon map may give the impression that incidents are occurring equally across the area when in fact they might be clustered or located along a particular street.

B)Manual method
C)Graduated color mapping
D)Ellipses
E)Density mapping

Question 21

The 80/20 rule is when a relatively small proportion of people, products, and places are responsible for or associated with a high proportion of crimes and other negative actions.
