| Abstract | Purposes: To study the crime rate of offenses against life, body, and sexual integrity in Thailand, and to analyze the spatial relationship patterns of these crimes from 2017 to 2021.Methodology: Secondary data on crime incidents was nationally collected to study the crime patterns of crimes against life, body and sex in Thailand using Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Geostatistical analysis was performed using Moran's I and Getis-Ord Gi* to identify hot spots of crime In Thailand.Findings: Crimes against life, body and sex in Thailand showed a decreasing trend over the five-year period from 2017 to 2021. However, in 2021, the spatial distribution of these crimes showed a high clustering pattern in the central and southern regions of Thailand. The most common type of crime was assault, while the least common type was murder.Application of the study: This study provides a framework for studying crime prevention and finding solutions to crimes against life, body and sex in different parts of Thailand. It also serves as a basis for further research on the factors influencing these crimes. |
