Preventing Crime
Effective law enforcement helps reduce crime rates. As such, tech­nologies designed to help law enforcement prevent crime rely on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to predict when and where crimes are likely to occur. These technologies build on old techniques law en-
158
forcement used before the development and deployment of AI. Law en­forcement has used crime mapping, a technique that aims to predict where crime is likely to occur based on where it has occurred in the past. It helps police departments decide where to concentrate their resources. Early crime mapping involved physical maps officers marked with pins to represent re­cent crimes. With the advent of computers, police could do the same using a virtual map, and in the 1990s began using a tool specifically developed for crime mapping known as a geographic information system (GIS).
A GIS is more interactive than earlier crime maps. When officers add a pin to a physical map to represent where a crime took place, the only in­formation that pin displays is the location of the crime. When officers add a point to a digital map, they can also add information about the exact time and date the crime took place along with other details of the crime that may be useful for analysis. A GIS also contains data layers officers can use to organize data, with each layer containing a different type of data. For ex­ample, one layer may display the roads that run through an area, and a lay­er on top of that may display the bus routes that run on those roads, and a layer on top of that may display the bus stops along those routes.
With all the data contained in a GIS, police departments can analyze trends in criminal activity, but the software only contains historical data and cannot make predictions. Recent advances in technology have allowed law enforcement to more accurately predict crime, a technique known as “crime forecasting,” which builds on crime mapping.
True or False?
1. Technologies are designed to help law enforcement facilitate crime
using artificial intellect and machine learning.
2. Crime mapping is a method that aims to visualize where crime
must occur based on where it has occurred lately.
3. Geographic information system is a tool specifically developed for
crime mapping using a virtual map.
4. When officers add a point to a digital map, they can also add in-
formation about the exact time and date the crime took place along.
5. A GIS may contain data layers which officers use to categorize in-
formation, with each layer containing similar or opposite data.
