Abstract

To have a better response towards criminal activity, it is very important that one should understand the patterns in crime. We analyze this pattern by taking crime datasets from the Chicago Police Department's CLEAR (Citizen Law Enforcement Analysis and Reporting) system. This dataset includes different blocks of the city of Chicago. The major aim of this mission is to expect which category of crime is most probably to take place at a detailed time and places in Chicago. Finally, this paper uses a different algorithm like Random Forest, Decision Tree and different ensemble methods such as Extra Trees, Bagging and AdaBoost to evaluate the accuracy given by each algorithm.
