UCL Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science
Spencer Chainey is Director of Geographical Information Science at the Jill Dando Institute of Crime Science, University College London. Spencer is one of the pioneers in the field of crime mapping (working with police forces, community safety partnerships, CENTREX and the Home Office in the UK, and with law enforcement and justice departments in the USA, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand). Prior to joining JDI, Spencer spent several years working from the private sector and in Local Government on Geographical Information Systems (GIS), community safety, information sharing, housing development and regeneration projects (1996-2003). Spencer was Chair of the UK's Association for Geographic Information (AGI) in 2003, and chairs the AGI Crime and Disorder Special Interest Group. Spencer has a B.Sc. degree in Geography (Kingston University), a Master of Science degree in GIS (University of Edinburgh), and is currently reading for his Ph.D. at University College London. His work in crime mapping and analysis, information sharing, and social exclusion analysis is recognised and used as examples of good practice by the Cabinet Office (Social Exclusion Unit), the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, The Home Office, the Audit Commission, The Housing Corporation and the United States Department of Justice. His work is much published and includes the Home Office publication 'Crime Mapping: Improving Performance', the US Department of Justice booklet 'Understanding Hotspots, and his definitive book on 'GIS and Crime Mapping', co-authored with Jerry Ratcliffe.
