 and statistical methods are implored in developing a Geospatial Crime Management System (GSCMS) to facilitate for an in-depth crime pattern analysis. Exploring the spatial and statistical dimensions of crime is optimized by the GIS capabilities to relate spatial and attribute data effectively. While the statistical analysis techniques facilitates for handling of the computation and processing aspects of such attribute data for a cogent database. However, the effectiveness of these quantitative approaches is been proliferated. This paper examines the spatial pattern of urban crime in Kaduna Metropolis (KdM), Nigeria; using computer based spatio-statistical techniques of crime analysis with a view to offering possible options, for effective urban crime management. The analysis highlights harnessing innovative capabilities for an effective urban crime management system in cities of the developing countries.&picture=http://www.aascit.org/aascit/decorators/img/journal/897.jpg)
