Nowadays geography can do much more in crime and delinquency research than only mapping. Since 70s of the 20th century various research methods have been developed by scientists dealing with geography of crime. The computer tools, including GIS software were the basis for that process. In the paper author presents following methods and research techniques: thematic maps (graphical representation of spatial data, which enables to built geographical basic data models), hot spot analysis (pointing places with high crime concentration), spatial autocorrelation (spatial identification of crime concentration), spatial regression (analysis of crime and other accompanying phenomena), ProMap – prospective mapping (prediction of the most probable places where crimes might be committed), and geographical profiling (element of psychological profiling thanks to which identification of places connected with criminals is possible).
