Recent Riots – Policing Cuts

The chair of South Wales Police Federation has warned if "savage" cuts go ahead police will not be able to respond effectively to future riots.

The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has warned the government against cutting police numbers. Mr Johnson said the case for cuts had been "substantially weakened" by the riots and that he opposed the Home Secretary's plans to reduce forces' budgets.

Data Mining Tools in PolicingAll of the Validated Examples can be accomplished by using:

Data Mining Tools in Policing

• To automatically interrogate one or more data sets with a view to providing information that will save time, reduce crime, deter offending and enhance dynamic business processes.

Data Mining

• Offenders Learn from Offenders

Additional Complication

• Problem Outline– Analysts Time Constraints– Examine Index Crime & Compare with:• Keyword Type Search• Personal Memory

– Produce a List “Matching” Index Crime• 1 to 2 Hours• 10% to 15% Accurate

– Interviewing Officers Refine List

• Motivation:– Sample Offender Test• Same Offender• 4 BSU’s Where Offender Not Known• 20 Minutes to 2 Hours• Scores From Low 100’s to High 400’s

– Place / Not Place on List

• Scores Not Related To Time Taken


• Benefits:– Every Offender is Scored– Objective Scoring• Defendable• Repeatable

– Process Can Be Frequently Run• Offenders’ Scores Updated• Current


• Offender Networks:– The Data WILL Contain Networks– Which Networks Cause the Most Harm• Prioritisation• Scoring

– Degrees of Freedom• Dependant Upon Priorities


• Offender Networks:
