Senior authorCorrespondingIn this commentary, we describe the current state of the art of points of interest (POIs) as digital, spatial datasets, both in terms of their quality and affordings, and how they are used across research domains. We argue that good spatial coverage and high-quality POI features - especially POI category and temporality information - are key for creating reliable data. We list challenges in POI geolocation and spatial representation, data fidelity, and POI attributes, and address how these chall…

To racketeer among neighbors: spatial features of criminal collaboration in the American Mafia
International Journal of Geographical Information Science · 2021 · 12 citations
1st authorCorrespondingThe American Mafia is a network of criminals engaged in drug trafficking, violence and other illegal activities. Here, we analyze a historical spatial social network (SSN) of 680 Mafia members found in a 1960 investigatory dossier compiled by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Narcotics. The dossier includes connections between members who were ‘known criminal associates’ and members are geolocated to a known home address across 15 major U.S. cities.Under an overarching narrative of identifying the netw…
