Regional Crime Data Analysis and Insights Using Fb Prophet

Abstract

Crime is one of the most dominate and formidable aspect of the society. Crimes are committed daily, which has made the lives of the common people restive. Therefore, preventing the crime from occurring can be achieved through a systematic approach by recognizing and evaluating the criminal trends specific to a certain location. Data analysis can assist us to explore former criminal incidents and help us analyze the patterns and hidden correlations which can be used for prevention of crime. Our system aims to analyze crime-prone regions by using the location and time of the crime. Data visualization is a powerful tool for investigating crime rates across the country. Heat maps can be useful for determining the hotspots of crime. The proposed system analyzes the data using the FBprophet model to forecast crime rates in different regions. The Facebook Prophet library, maintained by Facebook, provides forecasting of time series data. This application uses past data and web-scraped data from various sites in order to get detailed studies of various crimes in multiple places. It also enables you to get data about crimes in many places across India by using the pin codes. Government organizations and police departments can effectively utilize it to monitor crime events within a locality.
