5. Conclusions
In this paper, we propose a knotted-clues method to obtain finegrained results of the near-repeat phenomenon both in districts and in various crime types. In the view of data interpretation, we combine correlation coefficient, hierarchical clustering and frequency patterns mining in a particular order. In districts, we refine the results to specific district rather than the near range. The accuracy results may help us identify the distribution of criminal forces in real crime networks. In police deployment, it can better coordinate the allocation of resources and strengthen cooperations. When combating crime, we can get the criminal centers or sources through near-repeat fine-grained analysis, so as to concentrate resources and improve efficiency. Through our approach, we find the associate patterns of different crime types and analyze the hierarchical relationships between the patterns. In actual actions, we should try our best to avoid the occurrence of crime types in the deeper pattern, in order to protect the lives and properties of the victims.
