Systematic Review of Crime Data Mining

Abstract

Crimes are a social nuisance and cost the society extremely in many ways. Any research that can help in analysing and solving crime faster pays for itself. Crime data mining has the ability of extracting useful information and hidden patterns from the large crime data sets. The crime data mining challenges are becoming stimulating opportunities for the coming years. Since the literature of crime data mining has increased briskly in recent years, it becomes mandatory to develop an overview of the state-of-the-art. This systematic review focuses on crime data mining techniques and technologies used in previous studies. The existing work is classified into different categories and is presented using visualisations. This paper also indicates some challenges related to crime data mining research.
