Abstract

In the past, crime prediction methods utilized previous records to accurately predict crime occurrences. Yet these crime prediction models had difficulty in updating immense data. To enhance the crime prediction methods, some approaches used social network service (SNS) data in crime prediction studies, but the relationship between SNS data and crime records has not been studied thoroughly. Hence, in this paper, we analyze the relationship between SNS data and criminal occurrences in the perspective of crime prediction. Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), we extract tweets that included any words regarding criminal occurrences and analyze the changes in tweet frequency according to the crime records. We then calculate the number of tweets including crime related words and investigate accordingly depending on crime occurrences. Our experimental results demonstrate that there is a difference in crime related tweet occurrences when criminal activity occurs. Moreover, our results show that SNS data analysis will be helpful in crime prediction model as there are certain patterns in tweet occurrences before and after the crime.

기존의 범죄 예측 방법들은 범죄 발생을 예측하기 위해 기존 기록을 이용하였다. 그러나 이러한 범죄 예측 모델은 데이터를 갱신하는데 어려움이 있다. 범죄 예측을 향상시키기 위해서 소셜 네트워크 서비스(SNS)를 이용하여 범죄를 예측하는 연구들이 진행되었지만, SNS 데이터와 범죄 기록 사이의 관계에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 SNS 데이터와 범죄 발생 사이의 관계를 범죄 예측의 관점에서 분석하였다. 잠재 디리클레 할당(LDA)을 이용하여 범죄 발생과 관련된 단어를 포함하는 트윗을 추출하였고, 범죄 기록에 따른 트윗 빈도의 변화를 분석하였다. 범죄 관련 단어를 포함하는 트윗의 빈도를 계산하고, 범죄 발생에 따라서 트윗 빈도를 분석하였다. 범죄가 발생하였을 때, 범죄와 관련된 트윗의 빈도가 변화하였다. 게다가, 범죄 발생 전후에 트윗 빈도가 특정 패턴을 보이기 때문에 SNS 데이터가 범죄 예측 모델에 도움이 될 것이다.
