However, this problem is very different in each district of Lima city. In addition, people, who comet crime, reside generally in other district. In this way, in this work, a geospatial analysis of the place where reside the people who committed crime, is developed, by applying of the grey clustering method. The case study was carried out in thirty-two districts of Lima city, in order to analyze the provenance of prisoners in the jails of Lima city. The results showed that the districts with more prisoners in the jails of Lima city were San Juan de Lurigancho, Cercado de Lima, and Villa El Salvador.
