Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM) is the core technology and analytic method that powers RTMDx. RTM analysis diagnoses crime location patterns and identifies environmental conditions that contribute to crime problems.
- Different crime incident locations can have common underlying causes. That is, events may be unrelated, but attractive settings for them may share similar qualities.
- Diagnose crime hot spots and fix them. But also, there’s no need to wait for crimes to persist or cluster. Analyze just a few crime incidents, such as emerging series or sprees.
- RTM sheds light on why crimes pattern the way they do.
- RTM puts the focus on places, not people.
- The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), National Institute of Justice (NIJ) named Risk Terrain Modeling the January 2023 “Term of the Month”
- U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland discussed the role that NIJ-funded research on Risk Terrain Modeling plays in helping cities develop “tailored strategies to prevent and disrupt violence in collaboration with the people experiencing it” during his May 2023 speech in Arlington, Virginia.
