Futuristic technologies like AI, BigData, Analytics, etc., can aid in preventing and predicting crimes big time if implemented optimally.

1. HOW EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES ARE
HELPING PREVENT CRIMES?
PREDICTIVE
POLICING
SUNIL JAGANI

2. SUMMARY
Controlling crimes and decreasing illegal activity is
getting a lot tougher for authorities. Even with all the
monitoring and scrutinization via patrols or undercover
missions, activity of crimes never seem to suppress.
Criminal acts are often works of masterminds and they
are uniquely crafted to pan out without making any
noise. So, by the time the police sort it out, the crimes
have already occured or is at its final stage where every
effort will be futile.
Therefore, there is only one way to stop crimes -
preventing it from happening at all. Emerging
technologies like BigData, Analytics, and Artificial
Intelligence has paved the way for predictive policing, a
term used to describe the latest way of preventing and
predicting crimes.

3. GLOBAL
INTERPRETATION
As per Beck and McCue 2015, "Predictive
policing is all about Proactive approach (action
taken a priory) of policing instead of the
traditional reactive one (action taken after
incidence)".
Charlie Beck, Chief of Detectives, Los Angeles
Police Department, and Colleen McCue,
President and CEO, MC2 Solutions, LLC, called
predictive policing, in general, “the next era in
policing.”
Predictive policing has been named as one of
the 50 best invention of 2011 by Times
Magazine

4. DEFINITION
In a broad way it is the application of
analytics and artificial intelligence for
prediction, identification and precaution of
any criminal activity, social threat and
public outrage.

5. HOW THE
IDEA WAS
ADOPTED?
The idea was influenced from the fact
- From weather forecasting to share
trading, we have been trying to
predict the future, in order to deal
better with the outcomes.
Hence, implementing the same logic
in preventing any sort of organized
crime made perfect sense.

6. AS GIVEN BY A REPORT OF RAND
CORPORATION PERRY ET.AL, PREDICTIVE
POLICING IS THE USE OF ANALYTICAL
TECHNIQUES TO IDENTIFY PROMISING
TARGETS FOR POLICE INTERVENTION
WITH THE GOAL OF PREVENTING CRIME,
SOLVING PAST CRIMES, AND IDENTIFYING
POTENTIAL OFFENDERS AND VICTIMS.

RECORD OF USING DATA ANALYTICS AND

CUSTOMERS.

8. PREDICTING CRIME USING
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
THEREFORE MADE
COMPLETE LOGIC

9. But, to solve a
crime is one thing.
To prevent it from
happening is
another.

10. IT REQUIRES
STRATEGIC PLANNING & IMPLEMENTATION

11. UNDERSTANDING
THE
CRIME
This is about predicting where the
potential crime is going to happen
depending on the circumstances.
The above thing separates it from
“Minority report” where it is predicted
who will do the crime.
So, the strength of predictive policing is
to prevent organized crime instead of
capturing the criminal.

12. FIGURING OUT
THE
PATTERN
Like criminal, every crime have a signature.
The pattern is affected by geographic
location, time of crime, climate-weather.
In organized crime, most of the time criminal
share common byground.
This pattern helps to figuring out the crime.
Apart from these, the group behavior during
a public outrage is mostly influenced by
messages and videos spreading in social
networks during that course of time.
So, group behavior pattern can be used to
prevent such incidents.

13. IDENTIFYING
THE
TYPE
As gin by Perry et.al, Predictive policing
methods fall into four general categories:
1. Methods for predicting crimes
2. Methods for predicting offenders
3. Methods for predicting perpetrators'
identities
4. Methods for predicting victims of crime

14. APPLYING
THE
PROCESS
Like any other data analytical process, it
follows 4 steps. Move to the next slide to know.

16. IMPLEMENTATION
AND SOLVING OF THE CRIME

17. DRAWBACKS
False positive reporting (falsely
predicting a crime to happen).
- This not only harasses the innocent
public but dilutes credibility of the system.
- After few false positive alarms, office
might ignore a true positive alarm
Officer might find it hard to follow
computer instructions than instincts.
Collection of data and making
database might hamper the privacy of
the public.

18. FUTURE
Clubbing with data analytics, Big Data,
and artificial intelligence, predictive
policing can lead to a healthy society
debarred of organized crime.
This can prevent the ever-increasing
cyber crime as well.
