Abstract

Crime prediction has emerged as a critical application of machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques, aimed at assisting law enforcement agencies in reducing criminal activities and improving public safety. This project focuses on developing a robust crime prediction system that leverages the power of both ML and DL algorithms to analyze historical crime data and predict potential future incidents. By integrating a combination of classification and clustering techniques, our system identifies crime-prone areas, trends, and patterns. Key parameters such as time, location, type of crime, and socio-economic factors are considered to build a comprehensive predictive model. Machine learning algorithms like Decision Trees, Random Forest, and Support Vector Machines are used for efficient data preprocessing and pattern recognition. Deep learning models, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), enable advanced feature extraction and temporal analysis for enhanced prediction accuracy. The system's performance is evaluated using metrics such as precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy, demonstrating its reliability and scalability for real-world applications. Furthermore, the use of visualization tools allows stakeholders to comprehend crime patterns effectively, supporting proactive policing strategies. This data-driven approach not only improves crime deterrence but also aids policymakers in resource allocation and urban planning. The proposed system has the potential to revolutionize crime management by transforming traditional reactive measures into predictive, preventive, and intelligent solutions.
