Crime Data Analysis Using Data Mining Model and Techniques

An important part of criminal investigation involves the interrogation of large databases of information held by police and other criminal justice agencies. Data mining and decision support systems have an important role to play in assisting human inference in this forensic domain that creates one of the most challenging decision- making environments. Technologies range widely and include social network analysis, geographical information systems, and data mining technologies for clustering crimes, finding links between crime and profiling offenders, identifying criminal networks, matching crimes, generating suspects, and predicting criminal activity. The developed clustering model has promising value in the current changing crime scenario and can be used as an effective algorithm by police and enforcement of law organizations for crime detection and prevention.
