    El mapa del delito consiste en una representación de un conjunto de datos espaciales obtenidos a partir eventos delictivos registrados y de otros problemas asociados a éstos. La Ley de Concentración del Delito de Weisburd se encuentra ampliamente difundida para el estudio de hot spots;

    éstos no informan solamente sobre la concentración de los delitos, sino que también revelan información acerca del contexto donde ocurren. El presente artículo describe una metodología para identificar y medir los hot spots en micro unidades geográficas que consisten en segmentos de calle. Y aplica esta metodología para analizar la concentración del delito de robo ocurrido en la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (República Argentina), durante el período comprendido entre los años 2017 y 2021. Este enfoque resulta prometedor para la prevención del delito tanto en el campo policial como en el marco de la criminología ambiental.

    The crime map consists of a representation of a set of spatial data regarding reported criminal events and other problems associated with them. Weisburd's Crime Concentration Law is widely used for the study of hot spots. These not only provide details on the concentration of crimes but also convey information about the context in which they occur. This article describes a methodology to identify and measure hot spots in microgeographic units consisting of street segments. It applies this methodology to analyze the concentration of the crime of robbery that occurred in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (Argentine Republic) during the period between 2017 and 2021. This approach is promising for crime prevention both in the police field and in the framework of environmental criminology.
