Abstract
This paper considers the spatial patterns of crime incidents in Japan from a Bayesian point of view. We analyzed and compared different models by marginal likelihoods. From our posterior analysis, we found that the spatial pattern is different across crimes but panel SEM is selected in most of the types of crimes.
