Effectiveness is particularly important as it directly influences the ability of police agencies to stop and prevent crime. However, in this problem, a homogeneous distribution of workload is also desirable to guarantee fairness to the police agents and an increase in their satisfaction. This chapter provides a systematic review of the literature related to the police districting problem, whose history dates back to almost 50 years ago. Contributions are categorized in terms of attributes and solution methodology adopted. Also, an annotated bibliography that presents the most relevant elements of each research is given.engbook parthttps//doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-34312-5_2https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-34312-5_2open access519.8Police districting problemSmart patrollingWorkload distributionLiterature reviewAnnotated bibliographyPredictive policingGeographic information systemsBackup coverageMathematical programmingWorkloadResponse timeAnálisis matemáticoEstadística matemática (Matemáticas)Investigación operativa (Matemáticas)1202 Análisis y Análisis Funcional1209 Estadística1207 Investigación Operativa
