Abstract

There are no direct geographical theories that provide an explanation of the spatial distribution of crime, but rather a link between human geography and criminology as a result of the development of the strong existing parallelism. In this context, we do not have evidence of the existence of investigations that have verified the effectiveness of the distance variable in probabilistic models of geographic profiling. A first important issue for all geographic profile methods is to determine the appropriate metric to measure the distance, their behavior and adaptation to the environment are fundamental to overcome environmental obstacles. In this sense, the following study aims to explore the influence of the nodes and routes in the framework of the so-called journey to crime, of the crimes committed by Peter Sutcliffe (Yorkshire Ripper) between 1975 and 1980, comparing three measures of distance; direct (Euclidean), indirect (Manhattan) and functional distances, specifically metrics calculated with the Dijkstra`s algorithm, in order to evaluate whether the selected distance varies when applying a negative exponential function in a geographic profile.
