Big data opens up new ways to learn about city crimes. Plus, criminology theories help us understand why people commit crimes and the intricate patterns of crime in cities. These theories can help us link the data we have to what we want to know about city crimes. They also guide us in creating computer models to study crimes. Let's explore some key crime theories, understand how we analyze city crime data, review recent computer algorithms for various crime tasks, and discuss exciting research areas that could revolutionize how we study city crimes.
