论文摘要
由于城市地区的人口密度不断增长，许多人越来越受到犯罪活动的影响。犯罪率的提高增加了守法公民的身体和心理伤害的风险，引起焦虑。从复杂系统的角度来看，通过数据科学预防犯罪可以是解决此类问题的解决方案。但是，先前的研究仅集中在犯罪的一个方面，而忽略了各种特征之间的复杂相互作用，在分析中必须考虑这些相互作用，以了解犯罪活动的动态。在这项研究中，我们检查了12个功能，这些功能已被确定为使用美国州级统计数据的犯罪率相关。我们发现轻罪和重罪的相关性不同。轻罪的数量与警察区密切相关，而重罪率与枪支拥有和幸福密切相关。我们的发现表明，轻罪的对策应与重罪的对待不同。
Owing to the growing population density of urban areas, many people are being increasingly exposed to criminal activity. Increasing crime rates raise the risk of both physical and psychological injury to law-abiding citizens, creating anxiety. From the viewpoint of complex systems, crime prevention through data science can be a solution to such issues. However, previous studies have focused only on a single aspect of crime, ignoring the complex interplay between the various characteristics, which must be considered in an analysis to understand the dynamics underlying criminal activities. In this study, we examined 12 features that have been identified as correlates of crime rates using state-level statistics from the USA. We found that the correlates of misdemeanors and felonies differ. The number of misdemeanors is strongly associated with the police precinct, whereas felony rates are strongly correlated with gun possession and happiness. Our findings suggest that the countermeasures for misdemeanors should be treated differently from those for felonies.
