Human Profiling Campus Crime

No ratings

Presented at CircleCityCon 2014 by

A student study based on crime alerts to the campus community, of when, where, and the type of crimes that occur around the college campus. Colleges and Universities are required by the Clery Act to report certain types of crimes and provide annual statistics of those crimes. Sources for the study were from publically archived email messages known as “Timely Warnings”, Emergency Text message alerts, and the Daily Crime Logs that are available on the university’s public safety website. Data was collected from the 2007 to 2014 Timely Warnings archive, and then correlated with the Daily Crime Logs. Crimes have been mapped to show the locations of the crimes throughout the years, and if the same crimes occurred at the same locations year after year.
