Studying the spatial behaviour of unknown offenders (i.e. undetected offenders) is difficult, because police recorded crime data do not contain information about these offenders. Recently, forensic DNA data has been used to study unknown offenders. However, DNA data are only a subset of the crimes committed by unknown offenders stored in police recorded crime data. To establish the suitability of DNA data for studying the spatial offending behaviour of unknown offenders, we examine the concentration and spatial similarity of detected but unsolved crimes in police recorded crime data (N = 181,483) and DNA data (N = 1913) over 27 Belgian judicial districts for four crime types. We established spatial similarity for certain crime types (in some districts). This offers opportunities for DNA data to be used to study unknown offenders' spatial offending behaviour. Implications for theory and research are discussed.
研究未知犯罪者（即未被发现的犯罪者）的空间行为是困难的，因为警方记录的犯罪数据不包含有关这些犯罪者的信息。最近，法医DNA数据已被用于研究未知犯罪者。然而，DNA数据只是警方记录的犯罪数据中未知犯罪者所犯罪行的一个子集。为了确定DNA数据对于研究未知犯罪者空间犯罪行为的适用性，我们在比利时27个司法辖区内，针对四种犯罪类型，研究了警方记录的犯罪数据（N = 181,483）和DNA数据（N = 1913）中已被发现但未解决的犯罪的集中度和空间相似性。我们确定了某些犯罪类型（在一些地区）的空间相似性。这为利用DNA数据研究未知犯罪者的空间犯罪行为提供了机会。文中还讨论了其对理论和研究的启示。
