We're big fans of the breakthroughs in applied GIS being done by crime analysists and the legal system broadly defined. In fact, I would say that the conferences of these professionals are second only to the ESRI International Users Conference for new ideas and take-it-to-the-street learning. So if you live near New Orleans -- no matter what your profession -- check this out.
The call for presentations and workshops for the 2008 Crime Mapping Research Conference is now posted. The conference will take place September 17-20, 2008 at the Sheraton New Orleans.
