Graffiti Tracker: Utilizing Data to Fight Crime

on YouTube ↗05m

" summary

Graffiti Tracker builds a database that documents, maps and analyzes graffiti so cities move from paint-over to graffiti mapping and analytics. The system extracts intelligence like roll call graffiti and links between tag names, revealing which of the “several hundred active gang members” actually hang out and operate together. Mapping isolates noise to show individual taggers’ paths (home to school), produces prioritized lists for enforcement, and drives abatement plus targeted investigations for murders, armed robberies and other crimes.
