Abstract

With the social progress and technological development, China’s criminal activities gradually show the characteristics of specialization, networking, and hotspotting, which leads to the phenomenon of high incidence but low detection rate, and the prediction of the criminal phenomenon is particularly important. In this paper, we construct a graph self-encoder, and derive the formula of the GAE loss function from the corresponding reconstructed neighbor matrix and node feature loss function of GAE. The spatial channel attention mechanism is introduced to improve the performance of the model, and the time window dimension is mapped to the perceptual self-attention module, and the objective function is constructed by generating a collection of crime matrices for future time windows. A multi-raster layer analysis model is added to optimize the model, generate a risk map of criminal activities, quantify the risk value of each element, and form a spatio-temporal prediction effect. Comparison experiments are used to analyze the optimization effect of the model, and the absolute error of the optimized model is no more than 0.05 for four types of cases. The prediction results of the cases of property invasion in different time periods show that the number of cases occurring in the early hours of the morning is 508, and the average PEI index is 0.19, which is smaller compared with other time periods.
