Trends Identified
Bigdata based crime prediction
(Definition) Analyze past crime data and comprehend the pattern to predict the place and time when crimes are likely to occur. (Application) Provide detailed analysis of the site and the type of crimes that occur near the address in order to prevent the crime as well as deploy more police force. (Impact) It will be an effective strategy to reduce the crime rate, however, will cause over-spilling of personal data. If big data is used for public parts, EU reports that there will be € 150~ 300 billion economic advantage occurring.
