Crime hot-spot location prediction is important for public safety. The output from the prediction can provide useful information to improve the activities aimed at detecting and preventing safety and security problems. Location prediction is a sp

Much of crime mapping is devoted to detecting high-crime-density areas known as hot spots. Hot spot analysis helps police identify high-crime areas, types of crime being committed, and the best way to respond.

One of the fundamental challenges in crime mapping and analysis is pattern recognition. Efforts and methods to detect crime hot-spots, or geographic areas of elevated criminal activity, are wide ranging
