R. Sathyaraj*, A. Thangavelu, S. Balasubramanian, R. Sridhar**, M. Chandran and M. Prashanthi Devi*** Division of Environmental Management and Biotechnology* Defence Research Development Organization Bharathiar University, Coimbatore – 641 046 [email protected] Department of Computer Science** Sri. Ramakrishna Mission Vidyalaya College of Arts and Science Coimbatore- 641 020 Division of Environmental Management*** Bharathidasan University, Trichy – 620 024 Abstract Auto Vehicle Theft (AVT) is a serious problem with high social and economic costs, posing a much challenging duty for the Indian Police Force. The pattern of theft in urban areas tends to be unevenly distributed and follows a spatio-temporal distribution. The present study assesses and explains the spatio- temporal distribution of AVT in Coimbatore Urban of Tamil Nadu, India from 2003-2006. Crime Pattern Analysis for AVT attempts to quantify the spatio-temporal distribution of crime. Through this exploratory data analysis, hotspots based on point pattern analysis through Kernel Density Estimation were identified. The changes in spatial distribution of AVT during the month of the year and day of the week were mapped. An attempt was made to investigate the relationship between the place of theft and recovery of motor vehicles within the study area. The results of the study clearly depict the spatial density of AVT with temporal variations in the urban regions showing concentrated hotspots. The present study provides a significant insight to the approach of Crime Pattern Analysis, which can be employed for effective Offence determination.
