You might want to take a look at MapCalc. It's low cost but complete grid
or cell spatial analysis package that rasterizes TAB and SHP vector data.
Its spatial functions include operations for 1) reclassify, 2) overlay,
distance, neighborhood, and statistics. It also can rasterize geoTIFF images

You may want to look at the Crimestat tool as produced by the National
Institute of Justice in Washington DC (link below). The user guide is quite
heavy going but we used to clustre analysis a table of points.
