In this work, we attempt an exploratory analysis of spatio-temporal patterns of crime in San Francisco. We apply spectral analysis to the temporal evolution of all categories of crime, finding that many have a weekly or monthly periodicity, along with other components. We show that spatial distribution has weekly patterns as well. These results can improve our understanding of the dynamics of crime and be exploited to design predictive models for policing.

Abstract

In this work, we attempt an exploratory analysis of spatio-temporal patterns of crime in San Francisco. We apply spectral analysis to the temporal evolution of all categories of crime, finding that many have a weekly or monthly periodicity, along with other components. We show that spatial distribution has weekly patterns as well. These results can improve our understanding of the dynamics of crime and be exploited to design predictive models for policing.
