As innovations in technology make it easier for even small
law enforcement agencies to track data related to repeat crime patterns,
agencies increasingly try to mine this data for information that will help them
allocate limited staffing resources and potentially keep crime from happening.
A team of researchers from the Temple University Center for
Security and Crime Science have used crime data to develop a software tool
known as PROVE (Prediction of Repeat Offending and Victimization in the
Environment) that may help agencies predict locations of crimes. They developed
this tool using data from the U.S. Census Bureau for the city of Philadelphia
and crime data from the city’s police department.
