Application of Spatio-Temporal Analysis in Criminal Incident Recording System

Abstract

Crime has always been a part of people's daily lives, and statistically speaking, the number of crimes has never decreased while continuously increasing. Despite the fact that no one can predict when a crime will occur, this study aims to use spatial and temporal analysis in crime mapping to identify crime patterns and hotspots that will be used by Caloocan Police Substation 03 to determine where and when the police officers should patrol to prevent criminal activity from happening. The researchers have discovered that the police officers find the system useful for keeping their crime data and for establishing their patrolling regions based on the findings of the survey that was done. The findings indicate that using Spatio-Temporal Analysis in a Criminal Incident Recording System can help reduce crime rates in the jurisdiction of Caloocan Police Substation 03.
