The use of Geographic Information Systems in the criminal justice field has its roots in the earlier generation of police crime maps. Historically, law enforcement agencies and other organizations used hardcopy pin maps to chart criminal activity; but these maps were static and, as crime rates, increased, difficult to maintain. In recent years, with advances in quick and user-friendly soft-ware, manual pin mapping has given way to computerized crime mapping.
