Figure 1 Workshop structure and the learning cycle (adapted from CitationKolb 1984).

Figure 2 Map of crime deprivation in Leicestershire. shows the map of crime deprivation in Leicestershire as quantified by the crime score variable and used to colour Middle Layer Super Output Area (MSOA) units. District boundaries are bold, whilst MSOA boundaries are fainter. Districts and more significant urban areas are named, with the town and city names underlined in white.

Figure 3 Scatter plot of crime score and fear of crime variables at the Middle Layer Super Output Area level. In the scatter plot in there are 120 data (circles), and a trend line has been fitted by ordinary least squares (OLS); note that OLS is arguably not appropriate where error exists in both x and y variables, but it is commonly used and adequate where the relationship is strong.

Figure 4 Map of Leicestershire showing the distribution of crime. The map of Leicestershire showing the distribution of crime in is illustrated by Middle Layer Super Output Area in shades of grey, against the fear of crime variable which is displayed by the density of the red dots (1 dot = 0.03 units that is 3% of people in fear of crime in an area. Dots are scattered randomly within each area and do not indicate actual location of people.)
