Predictive Crime Analytics Using Data Science (India and the USA)

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
3rd EAI International Conference on Big Data Innovation for Sustainable Cognitive Computing

Abstract

Predictive analysis is concerned with the branch of data science used to predict future patterns and trends. This modelling technique can be used to aid society. In recent years, crime against women has skyrocketed, and understanding past history can help to come up with insight that describe the current state of crime and assault in these countries. This research aims to foresee the crime patterns against women in India and the USA. The studies were carried out in both countries to better understand the economic bearing, if any, in crimes committed against women. The data of the past years is studied using extensive EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis) techniques to help understand the problems women face. The data is then normalized, and Linear Regression is executed to predict future trends in crime rates. K-means is then used to create clusters of states with the highest crime rates against women in India. This chapter aims to help women and law enforcement by using technological advancements in the area of data science to predict future trends.
