| Abstract: | This study description focuses on a discipline (crime) that is far removed from mental health in functionality, but the corresponding parameters show that the methodologies are essentially parallel and are based on a technology that is rarely employed in the medical sciences: spatial information system. Environmental criminology focuses its analysis on such parameters as remotely sensed data (satellites) and physical infrastructural features that influence the interactions between the discipline and the technology. There are many issues to be learnt from environmental criminology which can be taken up by the mental health and general health disciplines. |
