Combating Gun Trafficking and Gun Violence With Graph Analytics and Visualization
summary
A production platform called Crime Gun Connect runs on Neo4j and GraphQL, ingesting entity-resolved traces, red flag analysis and geolocation to link over 100,000+ Illinois crime guns to purchasers, possessors, dealers and recovery sites; developed with Everytown and the Illinois Attorney General's Office and live since 2021, it generates Cypher queries on each search, surfaces highly connected entities for leads, is in use by dozens of agencies, and produced surprising results such as 15 homicide recoveries with under one year time-to-crime.
