 ABSTRACT
Crimes are treacherous and common social problem faced worldwide. Crimes affect the
quality of life, economic growth and reputation of nation. With the aim of securing the society from
crimes, there is a need for advanced systems and new approaches for improving the crime analytics
for protecting their communities. If we can come up with ways to predict crime in detail before it
occurs or come up with a machine that can assist police officers, it would lift the burden of police
as they can anticipate when and where crimes might occur, allowing them to take proactive measures
for preventing the crimes. Thus, we put forward a system that analyses, recognizes and forecasts
crime trends in a given area.

Keywords: Crimes, social problem, crime analytics, predict crime, proactive measures,
preventing crimes, crime trends.
