Computational criminology is an interdisciplinary field that applies computational techniques and methods to the study of crime and criminal behavior. It combines elements of criminology, computer science, data analysis, statistics, and often machine learning to analyze crime data, model criminal behavior, and predict future crime trends. Key components of computational criminology include: 1. **Data Collection and Analysis**: Gathering large sets of data related to crime, such as arrest records, surveillance footage, social media interactions, and demographic information.
