Location quotient
The location quotient (Brantingham & Figure 4: Anti-social behaviour location quotient, December 2017 Brantingham 1997) provides a measure of the difference between the rate of crime
GOH in a ward and the rate of crime for the DVE DVW CLF
LFD FLX whole of Trafford. A location quotient of URM STR
AOM PRI 1.0 indicates that a ward has a BSM STM SLM BRK
BRD proportional share of crime whilst a value TMP VLG ALT greater than 1 indicates a BOW HCT HBN disproportionate share.
