The proliferation of mobile handheld devices has made them a viable medium for carrying out a wide range of business activities in areas such as education, agricultural, healthy and security. In the area of security, one major problem hindering crime detection and reporting is lack of efficient communication platform between the police and the general public. Mobile technologies using mobile de...

Abstract. In this paper we propose a novel yet simple scheme for criminal detection. Rather than tracking the criminal that committed a particular crime, the police will rank the houses suspected to host criminals according to patterns on citizens’ tips. We show that this strategy will provably identify the desired houses under reasonable assumptions. This will aid detectives decide where to fo...

The detection and prevention of crime, in the past few decades, required several years of research and analysis. However, today, thanks to smart systems based on data mining techniques, it is possible to detect and prevent crime in a considerably less time. Classification and clustering-based smart techniques can classify and cluster the crime-related samples. The most important factor in the c...

This paper analyzes the implications of potential offenders caring about their relative status. We establish that subjects’ status concerns can result in multiple-equilibrium crime rates and may modify the standard comparative-statics results regarding how the crime rate changes in response to a higher detection probability and higher sanctions. In addition, we argue that the socially optimal l...

This paper studies the implications of strain theory for equilibrium crime rates in a simple economic model by assuming that potential offenders care about their relative position. We establish that subjects’ status concerns allow for multiple crime rate equilibria and that these positional preferences may modify the results regarding predictions about how crime changes in response to a higher ...

Lie detection procedures are typically aimed at determining whether a suspect is lying about a crime committed in the past. Recent threats of terrorism, however, have shifted attention away from solving old cases to preventing future crimes. In the experiment reported in this paper, we investigate whether a specific lie detection test, the Concealed Information Test, can be used to detect crimi...

Cressey’s [1] fraud triangle examined the motivation for crime. McMahon et al. [2] suggest there is a need to move beyond the traditional fraud triangle to fight white-collar crime. In this article, we suggest a white-crime triangle which includes financial motive, organizational opportunity and deviant behavior. The suggested white-collar crime triangle is based on convenience theory [3], wher...

The Crime investigation department have very significant role in police system in all countries in the world. Computer systems are placed in almost all police stations to store and retrieve the crimes and criminal data and for subsequent reporting. For crime analysts, it is a challenging, time-consuming to determine who have been committed crimes from the large set of crimes that are happening ...
