Abstract
Burglary is an offence committed against others’ property and it is considered a violent crime. Nowadays to monitor and detect burglary crime geographic information system (GIS) is used broadly. The aim of this study is to analyses spatial pattern and spatial dependency of burglary in the study area by applying GIS techniques. For understanding the crime pattern better and creating plans for preventing and reducing crime and using the resources and places, sometimes might make greatest differences; the identification of hotspots in time is very important. The data for this study obtained from the secondary data; boundary shape file of the study area, socioeconomic data and burglary data for November 2012 were gained. The outcome of the study shows that the distribution of burglary is clustered. It is clear from the results that the rate of burglary strongly affects the percentage of unemployed people; also the percentage of non-white and young people (aged 20-24) does not significantly correlate with burglary.

Summary
Burglary is an offence committed against others’ property and it is considered a violent crime. The aim of this study is to analyses spatial pattern and spatial dependency of burglary in the study area by applying GIS techniques. The United States (US) National Institute of Justice’s Crime Mapping Research contributed significantly to the novelty and widespread of crime analysis in many developed like countries like Australia and South America (Chainey and Ratcliffe, 2005).The main purpose of this study is to analyze spatial pattern of burglary in South Yorkshire using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques. Section four discusses results of the analysis and section concludes the report This current study focuses on identifying spatial pattern of burglary in South Yorkshire using based techniques. The study analyses burglary data for November obtained from the South Yorkshire website and map examines its distribution using spatial auto-correlation concept in GIS environment. Despite recent significant declined in burglary rates, the South Yorkshire police authority and their partner organizations lunched Closed
