Question

NOTE: type the answer on computer do not attach photo

Automated data collection has fostered the use of data mining for crime detection. Banks, large corporations, insurance companies, government and security organizations are increasingly mining data (including personal data) about individuals to detect any fraud, crime or any potential security incident well in time before it causes any serious damage.


"Privacy preserving data mining" is designed to ensure privacy of individuals while performing data mining. Do you think privacy preserving data mining methods can not be used for crime detection? Discuss.

Explanation / Answer


1) Privacy preserving data mining forms a new research direction in data mining and statistical databases.
2) There are two main reasons behind privacy preserving data mining.
3) First is to handle sensitive raw data like identifiers, name, addresses and second is to mine sensitive knowledge from a database by using data mining algorithms.
4) The purpose of privacy preserving data mining is to develop algorithms to modify original data such that the private data stays private even after the mining process
5) Privacy preserving data mining can also be used to model crime detection problems.
6) Crimes are a social nuisance and cost our society in various ways. Any research that can help in solving crimes faster will help society to reduce the crime. Most of the criminals commit various crimes.
7) Data mining algorithms like clustering algorithm will help to detect the crimes patterns and speed up the process of solving crime.
8) We can use k-means clustering with some enhancements to aid in the process of identification of crime patterns.
9) Many researchers acheive success using these datamining techiniques in identifying the crime.
10) You can also use semi-supervised learning technique for knowledge discovery from the crime records and to help increase the accuracy.
11) Data mining framework works with the geo-spatial plot of crime helps to improve the productivity in detecting the crimes.
