1. A system comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
storage media; and
one or more computer programs stored in the storage media for execution by the one or more hardware processors, the one or more computer programs comprising;
instructions for generating a crime risk forecast based at least on historical crime incidents;
wherein the generated crime risk forecast is for a particular target geographic area, a particular future time window, and a particular crime type;
instructions for generating a graphical user interface overlay to an interactive geospatial basemap generated by a geospatial application;
wherein the overlay visually indicates the particular target geographic area on the interactive geospatial basemap;
wherein the overlay visually indicates the particular future time window;
wherein the overlay visually indicates the particular crime type, andwherein the instructions for generating the crime risk forecast comprise instructions for generating the crime risk forecast based, at least in part, on at least one of;
(a) a level of historical law enforcement patrol activity in the particular target geographic area,(b) custody information reflecting apprehension one or more persons known to have committed one or more of the historical crime incidents in the particular target geographic area,(c) custody information reflecting release from custody of one or more persons known to have committed one or more of the historical crime incidents in the particular target geographic area, or(d) any combination of (a), (b), or (c).

Abstract
A computer-based crime risk forecasting system and corresponding method are provided for generating crime risk forecasts and conveying the forecasts to a user. With the conveyed forecasts, the user can more effectively gauge both the level of increased crime threat and its potential duration. The user can then leverage the information conveyed by the forecasts to take a more proactive approach to law enforcement in the affected areas during the period of increased crime threat.
