In the first part of this blog series, we presented a use case on how machine learning can help to improve police operations. The use case demonstrates how operational planning can be optimized by means of machine learning techniques using a crime dataset of Chicago. However, this isn’t the only way to predict and prevent crime. Our next example takes us to London to have a look at what NCCGroup’s Paul McDonough and Shashank Raina have worked on.
