We indeed have grown up reading crime novels or watching true crime episodes on TV wherein officials work day in and day out to skim through data and records only to find out one vile information against the accused. Today, such practices are obsolete as all the recognition is awarded to data and artificial intelligence. These new-age technologies successfully detect the irregularities in the system in no time using a set of codes or rules and filter out the abnormalities. Let’s have a look on the different ways in which data & data intelligence are heavily contributing to making our lives safer and reducing crime rates.
Speedy Processing of Data
Analytics Software is equipped to process a ginormous amount of data within a minimal amount of time and it can never be equivalent to the quantity of data processed by humans in a similar span of time. Therefore, arresting the criminals gets immensely easy for the officials and also the ones who are willing to evade arrest.
Pattern Identification
The Data intelligence systems readily identify the irregular behavior and assign it as an abnormal pattern. This enables it to predict the next moves of such unidentified criminals who have triggered the secure system.
Risk Mitigation Process
Apart from police officials, various business organizations all around the world have been implementing and immensely relying on artificial intelligence systems to deploy back-testing on all their available data. This is to ensure that the potential fraudsters are eradicated and the work environment is kept safe.
Usage of Data Intelligence in Different Jurisdictions
Law enforcement agencies had initially started utilizing technology during the late 90s such as the installation of digital cameras around the city to detect accidents and crimes on roads.
•Police body-worn cameras are also being used by officials in the US, UK, and Australia.
•In recent times, localities in Colorado have installed license plate readers which enable them to record the plate numbers of each vehicle which have helped the officials to trace back a number of crimes.
•Police forces in India are keeping a proper tab on criminal behavioral patterns, parole dates, and conditions through data intelligence to keep track of the number of crimes and also devise ways to reduce such rates.
•In a double murder case in New Hampshire, the order required Amazon to release Amazon Echo records through which the crime was solved thereupon.
•Usage of data intelligence in social media surveillance is also serving to be successful in readily detecting and blocking illicit content such as fake news and child pornography.
•According to statistics, there also has been a 15% increase in crime avoidance rates globally in online financial transactions since the deployment of artificial intelligence and monitoring systems.
It is quite mesmerizing to perceive the growth of data intelligence and its induction in various sectors which would help curb crime rates all over the globe. The perpetrators usually do not realize the hefty amount of trails that they leave behind after commissioning a crime and thus it is with the help of the new age technology that it could be unleashed.
