A police department at a large metropolitan city implemented an
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
information system that analyzes historical crime data, including
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
date and locations as well as other external, environmental, and
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
city-related data. The system then produces daily predictive
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reports of the major locations around the city that are likely to
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
require additional police attention. The police department uses
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
the reports to plan the officers' patrol routes, targeting the areas
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
that the system predicted to have high likelihood of incidents.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
