The crime history in the recent past has increased drastically, and the tendency towards the crime is also an upheaval task. Therefore to combat the crime, effective technologies are to be provided as supportive to the law enforces. Data mining concepts prove to be very useful in this direction. A major uplift in the direction of crime identification is direct evidence, which can be of crucial ...

This paper analyzed the spatial patterns of four types of crime (assault, robbery, autotheft, and burglary) and their relationship with neighbourhood characteristics in the City of Omaha, Nebraska by using geographic information systems procedures and ordinary least square regression methods. Location quotients of crime and crime density were employed as two alternative measures of crime rates....

Computer mapping is a rapidly developing technique that can assist police departments in a variety of ways. Computer mapping techniques can be classified into three general categories: descriptive, analytical and interactive mapping. Descriptive mapping shows data in a pin map or shaded area format. Analytical mapping starts with analysis of data followed by automatically displaying the results...

Analytic mapping and geographic databases are being increasingly recognized by police departments as an important tool in crime analysis, crime prevention and program evaluation. Improvements in technology, reasonably priced computer-based geographic information systems (GISs), and the availability of geographic data sources make it possible for law enforcement agencies to use analytic mapping....

The larger roles of the community in crime prevention and improvements in technology have increased policeYcitizen communication and the distribution of information from police departments to private citizens. Combined, these changes have led to the current movement among law enforcement agencies toward sharing both summary reports and maps of crime with community groups. Although the dissemina...

Abstract—Women are most vulnerable to crime despite occupying central position in shaping a society as the first teacher of children. In India too, having equal rights and constitutional safeguards, the incidences of crime against them are large and grave. In this context of crime against women, especially rape has been increasing over time. This paper explores the spatial and temporal aspects ...

Pattern detection is one of the essential challenges in crime mapping and analysis. Data mining can be used to explore crime detection problems. A cluster technique is an effective method for determining areas with high concentrations of localized events. Conversely, it remains a particularly demanding task to detect hotspots with mapping methods in view of the vulnerability connected with the ...

The presence of crime is one of the major challenges for societies all over the World, especially in metropolitan areas. As indicated by prior research, Information Systems can contribute greatly to cope with the complex factors that influence the emergence and location of delinquencies. In this work, we combine commonly used approaches of static environmental characteristics with Social Media....

Today, many organizations and institutions have vast collections of datasets and databases filled with information that, in general, can turn out to be very useful for individuals and for the society [1]. The Police is one such institution which is obliged by law to keep an archive of all the information it deals with on a daily basis. All that information about the criminal events that have oc...
