• Sommario/riassunto: It is now possible to predict the future when it comes to crime. In Data Mining and Predictive Analysis, Dr. Colleen McCue describes not only the possibilities for data mining to assist law enforcement professionals, but also provides real-world examples showing how data mining has identified crime trends, anticipated community hot-spots, and refined resource deployment decisions. In this book Dr. McCue describes her use of ""off the shelf"" software to graphically depict crime trends and to predict where future crimes are likely to occur. Armed with this data, law enforcement executi
