Abstract

Crime investigation have gained attention among multidisciplinary domain experts due to severity of impact to strategic decision making and crime management. Current study develops decision support tools by introducing spatial decision support system for investigating crime. Spatial analysis can be integrated into decision support system for robust analysis. Spatial decision support system framework comprises of four main components; (I) database, (ii) knowledge-base, (iii) user interface and (iv) knowledge base. Spatial analysis involve location-based point in order to identify crime distribution. SCRIVIS-DSS is divided into three modules; from pattern identification module to information visualization module followed by decision making module. Therefore, this effort could be served as basis to spatial component to assist decision makers in crime investigation.
