%X <span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">In crime science, understanding the dynamics and interactions between
crime events is crucial for comprehending the underlying factors that drive
their occurrences. Nonetheless, gaining access to detailed spatiotemporal crime
re</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">cords from law enforcement faces
significant challenges due to confidentiality concerns. In response to these
challenges, this paper introduces an innovative analytical tool named ”°stppSim,”±
designed to synthesize fine-grained s</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">patiotemporal point records while
safeguarding the privacy of individual locations. By utilizing the open-source
R platform, this tool ensures easy accessibility for researchers, facilitating
download, re-use, and potential advancements in various research domains beyond
crime science.
