Abstract
Today, many organizations and institutions have vast
collections of datasets and databases filled with information
that, in general, can turn out to be very useful for individuals
and for the society [1]. The Police is one such institution
which is obliged by law to keep an archive of all the
information it deals with on a daily basis. All that information
about the criminal events that have occurred in the past can be
used in many ways. In this work, we present a research
project focused on crime analysis using the concept of crime
map, which can be very useful for the law enforcement
agencies as well as for the citizens. This research project
resulted in an effective crime map of the Republic of
Macedonia, which consists of about 1800 events in total.
With this project we hope to encourage and motivate the
Ministry of Internal Affairs, as well as other institutions, to
continue liberating valuable data and bring the benefits of the
Open Data idea to its citizens.
