Crime Analytics: Analysis of crimes through news paper articles
Crime analysis is one of the most important
activities of the majority of the intelligent and law enforcement
organizations all over the world. Generally they collect domestic
and foreign crime related data (intelligence) to prevent future
attacks and utilize a limited number of law enforcement
resources in an optimum manner. A major challenge faced by
most of the law enforcement and intelligence organizations is
efficiently and accurately analyzing the growing volumes of crime
related data. The vast geographical diversity and the complexity
of crime patterns have made the analyzing and recording of
crime data more difficult. Data mining is a powerful tool that can
be used effectively for analyzing large databases and deriving
important analytical results. This paper presents an intelligent
crime analysis system which is designed to overcome the above
mentioned problems. The proposed system is a web-based system
which comprises of crime analysis techniques such as hotspot
detection, crime comparison and crime pattern visualization. The
proposed system consists of a rich and simplified environment
that can be used effectively for processes of crime analysis.
