summarizing crime information from different sources or coding purpose used embedded C or C
times into a single, comprehensive dataset. language)
2. Hotspot :- It detect the places where the crime take place .A
detected hotspot is a place where lots of problems, like crimes,
happen often. It has been identified or found by looking at
data, so we know it's an area that needs special attention to
improve safety and prevent more problems

3. Concentration Characteristic:- It defines the concentrated

area where more number of the crime takes place. Moreover,
Concentration characteristic refers to how much crimes are
concentrated in one neighborhood, it means many crimes
happen in that specific place, showing a high concentration
characteristic. It helps us understand where things are
happening the most.

4. Shape Characteristic:- It helps to shape out which type of

crime take place in that particular area, we can say Shape
characteristic for a crime hotspot refers to the specific form or
outline of the area where many crimes happen. It helps to
describe whether the hotspot is spread out, circular, linear, or
irregular in shape. Understanding the shape can give insights
into how and why crimes are happening in that area .Then the
information gather and distributed in mainly 3 types:-
1. Hit Rate
2. PAI
3. DCR

VIII. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, crime hotspots are areas where criminal
activities are concentrated, often influenced by
socioeconomic factors, urban design, and policing practices.
Identifying these hotspots allows law enforcement to
allocate resources more effectively, which can help reduce
crime rates. However, long term solutions require
addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty,
education, and community engagement. By taking a
comprehensive approach, crime hotspots can not only be
managed but potentially diminished over time.with auditory
