Scientists have developed an IT system based in mathematical algorithms which allows to predict how many and what type of crimes are going to be committed in the next police shift. The developer say that it is about using scientific methods for police patrolling, and that it is the first case of predictive police methods are combined with a mathematical patrolling model.
Scientists from the Spanish National Police Corps (CNP) and from the University of Granada (UGR) have developed an IT system based in mathematical algorithms which allows to predict how many and what type of crimes are going to be committed in the next police shift.
The University of Granada says that it is about using scientific methods for police patrolling, and that it is the first case of predictive police methods are combined with a mathematical patrolling model. This technology could allow better to organize police patrolling and districting, which would mean a reduction of the money spent and the number of victims of a crime.
