Optimization of Criminal HotSpots Based on Underlying Crime Controlling Factors Using Geospatial Discriminative Pattern
نویسندگان
چکیده
Criminal activities are unevenly distributed over space. The concept of hotspots is widely used to analyze the spatial characters of crimes. But existing methods usually identify hotspots based on an arbitrary user-defined threshold with respect to the number of a target crime without considering underlying controlling factors. In this study we introduce a new data mining model – Hotspots Optimization Tool (HOT) – to identify and optimize crime hotspots. The key component of HOT, Geospatial Discriminative Patterns (GDPatterns), which capture the difference between two classes in spatial dataset, is used in crime hotspot analysis. Using a real world dataset of a northeastern city in the United States, we demonstrate that the HOT model is a useful tool in optimizing crime hotspots,and it is also capable of visualizing criminal controlling factors which will help domain scientists further understanding the underlying reasons of criminal activities.

Understanding the spatial distribution of crime based on its related variables using geospatial discriminative patterns
Crime tends to cluster geographically. This has led to the wide usage of hotspot analysis to identify and visualize crime. Accurately identified crime hotspots can greatly benefit the public by creating accurate threat visualizations, more efficiently allocating police resources, and predicting crime. Yet existing mapping methods usually identify hotspots without considering the underlying corr...
متن کاملCrime Hotspot Tracking and Geospatial Analysis in Merseyside, UK
Crime prediction is a topic of significant research across the fields of criminology, data mining, city planning, law enforcement, and political science. Crime patterns exist on a spatial level; these patterns can be grouped geographically by physical location, and analyzed contextually based on the region in which crime occurs. This paper proposes a mechanism to parameterize street-level crime...

The concentration of police resources in stable crime hotspots has proven effective in reducing crime, but the extent to which police can disrupt dynamically changing crime hotspots is unknown. Police must be able to anticipate the future location of dynamic hotspots to disrupt them. Here we report results of two randomized controlled trials of near real-time epidemic-type aftershock sequence (...
