Hello Andrew
If you have points, I would suggest this software - Crimestat. There are many cluster techniques and the software is quite easy to learn
http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/NACJD/crimestat.html
If you want to run a cluster analysis using polygon data (standardised values) I would suggest GeoDa
http://sal.agecon.uiuc.edu/geoda_main.php
Both are free of charge

Subject: MI-L Cluster Mapping
Dear All
We want to produce some cluster mapping and are after some advice of how to do this, and any pitfalls they may be.
We have a table with points in and want to see where there are clusters of points.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
