BIG DATA IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
BIG DATA IN CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
In order to cope
with cybercrimes and overseas illegal behaviors, the police are now using big
data analysis platform which based on AI algorithms, combined with the existing
crime database of the police organizations for analysis and comparison. The
crime database will be used in the crime investigation experience of senior
police officers to the data collection, file establishment, method
interpretation, case analysis, and related method application, and then use the
big data analysis platform to target various crime methods. After analyzing
whether there are repeated or similar criminal tactics, or even use similar or
related tools. Then, the system will find out the correlation between the cases
which will help the first-line police to improve the efficiency of crime
investigation.
There are three
types of analytics: descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive. The prediction
has always been the core application of big data analysis and provides great
convenience for people’s daily life. Prevention is the most important factor to
lower the crime rate. That is to discover the present and the future by summing
up the frequency in the past. In addition, the ability to recognize identity
theft is also very important. Some cyber fraud cases were caused by identity
theft or misuse. The police officer pointed out that "criminal behavior is
self-replicating without error", and the accuracy of this behavior has
reached a surprising level. In other words, people’s behavior is
predictable.
The ability of
big data investigation and prediction can highly restore past events and early
warning. Both of them must be built on a massive amount of data and deep data
mining. Whether in the initial data acquisition or in-depth analysis of the
data, it may result in a certain threat to citizens' privacy rights and
property rights.
By reading the article, I think this is a very cool and interesting topic.
ReplyDeleteSo except using on the business analysis, big data can used in criminal investigations and public safety. These tools are not only reserved for academic think tanks or large marketing companies, but also easy to access and use in a PC environment.
To predict the terrorism, the ability to accurately characterize, discover, predict, and ultimately prevent subsequent attacks on the basis of a thorough analysis of past behavior, planning, and surveillance will have great value in combating terrorism and protecting national security. The latest technological innovations have allowed the deployment of analytical products or "scoring" algorithms to operators without formal statistical training. These models can be used in the field for multiple functions, including risk assessment and prediction of future events or behaviors.
To predict human behavior, by doing characterize, model, classify, and even predict this behavior under certain circumstances. Although behavior analysis may not be able to identify specific individuals or suspects, it can usually provide investigators with more knowledge or insight to understand which type of person may be related to a specific crime or a series of crimes.
Another analysis is used to discover the identity theft, which has existed in many forms for a long time. Unfortunately, identity theft is usually carried out after bad circumstances occur. Given the huge amount of information involved, it would be very difficult and inefficient to manually search these data sets to actively identify identity theft or abuse. Moreover, it might be mark invalid. Although this method cannot catch everyone, it may detect enough illegal use of credentials, making this type of identity theft more difficult and preventing the criminal use of legal credentials in the future.
Big data has applied to many other aspects to avoid the criminal, or it can say to help society better.
