Summary/Abstract: There were reviewed the papers which propose the use of taxonomic measures to assess the crime rate. Some debatable issues were noted, such as the selection and reduction of diagnostic variables that are components of the constructed taxonomic measure. There were recommended solutions for constructing taxonomic measures for assessing the crime rate and the identification of groups of areas similar in terms of selected characteristics.
