A Study of the Spatio-temporal Distribution Characteristics of Criminal Traffic Offenses in Chinese Provincial Capital Cities
Criminal traffic offenses are a major cause of road accidents resulting in personal injury and fatalities.Employing Geographic Information System(GIS)methods,this paper analyzes the cases of traffic offenses in F City,China over a 5-year period from 2014 to 2018,and discovers that the traffic offenders in F City are predominantly young and middle-aged individuals with low educational attainment.Analyzing their spatio-temporal distribution characteristics,this paper observes that,spatially,traffic offens-es show a certain dependence on the road network,with a radial decrease from the main road network to the surrounding road net-works.The offenses are mainly concentrated in the central urban area within the Third Ring Road and the surrounding county towns,particularly in areas with high population activity.There is also a certain concentration in industrial zones and ship docks,reflecting coastal region characteristics.From a temporal perspective,nighttime is the primary period for offenses,with drunk driving,illegal modifications of motor vehicles,and speeding being the main causes of criminal traffic offenses.During the morning rush hour,late morning,and evening rush hour,incidents are related to the movement of people caused by the separation of residential and work ar-eas.Based on these reasons,a dual-mode approach should be implemented,utilizing"daytime stationed police presence"and"night-time multi-point patrols".This approach can guide high-density areas to adopt effective supervision experiences from low-density ar-eas,aiming to reduce the overall traffic offenses in the region.This study can provide theoretical guidance for ensuring road traffic safety.
