ABSTRACT:
An expert system method is provided that performs crime site analysis in a criminal activity area to determine a likely center of criminal activity. The method uses distances from related crime sites to determine a probability surface for the entire criminal activity area. A target area having highest values of probability becomes the center of criminal activity. The expert system can be used to access other crime databases such as witness reports to further define the criminals; residence or workplace.
