Abstract

Growing population increasing urbanization which 
will give rise to growing communities and will 
increase risk of crimes. Increasing crime will put 
people’s security at risk and make difficult for 
security professional to maintain law and order. To 
tackle crime in growing urban communities’ author 
of this paper employing combination of two different 
algorithms such as LSTM (long short-term memory) 
and GCN (Graph Convolution Network).  LSTM is 
known to perform better prediction on temporal 
features like Date & Time and GCN known for best 
prediction on Spatial Features like Location. 
Combination of both LSTM & GCN can 
automatically and effectively detect the high-risk 
areas in a city. Topological maps of urban 
communities carry the dataset in the model, which 
mainly includes two modules such as spatial & 
temporal features extraction module and temporal 
feature extraction module to extract the factors of 
theft crimes collectively.  To train and test above 
algorithm performance author has utilized US crime 
and Chicago Crime datasets and then for spatial 
features author has joined weather information like 
Temperature on Chicago dataset but this weather 
information extraction process we don’t know so we 
have used Date & Time for LSTM temporal features 
training and Crime locations as Spatial features 
training with GCN. Propose algorithm performance 
in terms of R2square, RMSE and MAPE. R2square 
consider as accuracy for crime rate prediction

model and then RMSE (root mean square error) and 
MAPE (mean absolute percentage error) represents 
difference between true and predicted crime rate. So 
the lower the difference the better is the algorithm. 
Combination of propose LSTM & GCN algorithm is 
known as ST-GCN and compare this propose 
algorithms performance with existing algorithms 
like 
Random Forest and LSTM. Among all 
algorithms propose is giving high R2score and less 
RMSE and MAPE.
