Simsi is the only company officially partnered with Rutgers University for all things Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM)
Risk Terrain Modeling (RTM)
RTM was born from rigorous research at Rutgers University, with over 40 years of systematic investigation, fieldwork and professional experience behind it. RTM has been tested throughout the United States and in over 45 countries across 6 continents around the world. It has a proven track record with successful outcomes that reflect community priorities. Here's the research evidence.
RTM was originally used for policing to identify and better understand risky settings for the purpose of crime prevention. Today, RTM is used for a variety of topics: public safety, medicine, public health, epidemiology, social welfare, transportation, city planning, emergency management, disaster recovery, homeland security, retail asset protection, and maritime shipping.

Spatial dynamics of crime are not the same in different settings, even for the same type of crime. Think about it through the analogy of a kaleidoscope, which represents a particular jurisdiction: The shards of glass represent crime attractors, or features of the landscape, such as bars, fast food restaurants, or grocery stores. Moving from jurisdiction to jurisdiction represents a turn in the kaleidoscope. With each turn, the glass pieces come together in different ways, creating unique spatial and situational contexts that have implications for behavior at those places. RTM identifies these unique behavior settings for crime in any jurisdiction. Read More
