Abstract

Police and law enforcement agencies perform social media analysis to gain a better understanding of criminal social networks structures and to identify potential criminal activities. The use of data mining techniques in social media analysis, however, faces issues and challenges such as linkage-based structural analysis, association extraction, community or group detection, behaviour and mood analysis, sentiment analysis and dynamic analysis of streaming networks. This chapter describes the extension of our developed framework and propose an association model for extracting multilevel associations based on associative questioning. We also describe data mining techniques used to visualize these associations through a 2D crime cluster space. The developed framework provides a complete data analytic solution towards identifying and understanding associations between crime entities and thus expedites the crime matching process.
