Crash Analysis• Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS)
• Published by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
DDACTS integrates location-based crash, crime, calls for service and enforcement data to establish effective and
efficient methods for deploying law enforcement resources. By identifying areas, through temporal and spatial
analysis, with high incidences of crime and crashes, DDACTS employs highly visible traffic enforcement strategies.
By targeting high crash hot spots that are within high crime areas with highly visible traffic enforcement, the
DDACTS model affords communities the dual benefit of reducing traffic crashes and crime thus reducing overall
social harm.
