Abstract

Methods of trend analysis for information related to released criminal offenders, the methods include accessing geospatial location information including date and time information for released criminal offenders and identifying repeated visits by one of the released criminal offenders within a defined proximity of a particular geospatial location, identifying a movement pattern of one of the released criminal offenders, correlating the movements of one the released criminal offenders to the movements of a subscriber, correlating the proximity of one of the released criminal offenders to a location where criminal activity has occurred, or comparing the geospatial location with previous activity of the released offender to predict potential future criminal activity.

Claims

1. A method of trend analysis for information related to released criminal offenders, the method comprising:

accessing, by a computing device, geospatial location information including date and time information for released criminal offenders, wherein the geospatial location information is received via communication with monitoring devices of the released criminal offenders;

correlating, by the computing device, a proximity of a particular one of the released criminal offenders to a location where criminal activity has occurred;

assigning, by the computing device and based at least on the correlation, a threat level to the particular released criminal offender; and

outputting, by the computing device, a notification in response to determining that the assigned threat level has increased.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the outputting comprises:

providing, by the computing device, the notification to a subscriber within a defined proximity of the particular released criminal offender.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying, by the computing device, when the particular released criminal offender is within a defined proximity of a second released offender.

4. A computing device comprising:

one or more computer processors; and

a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to;

access geospatial location information including date and time information for released criminal offenders, wherein the geospatial location information is received via communication with monitoring devices of the released criminal offenders;

correlate a proximity of a particular one of the released criminal offenders to a location where criminal activity has occurred;

assign, based at least on the correlation, a threat level to the particular released criminal offender; and

output a notification in response to determining that the assigned threat level has increased.

5. The computing device of claim 4, wherein the memory comprises instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:

output the notification to provide the notification to a subscriber within a defined proximity of one of the released criminal offenders.

6. The computing device of claim 4, wherein the memory comprises instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:

identify when the particular released criminal offender is within a defined proximity of a second released offender.

7. A method of trend analysis for information related to released criminal offenders, the method comprising:

accessing, by a computing device, geospatial location information including date and time information for released criminal offenders, wherein the geospatial location information is received via communication with monitoring devices of the released criminal offenders; and

predicting, by the computing device, based at least on a comparison of geospatial location information associated with a particular one of the released criminal offenders and previous activity of the particular released criminal offender, potential future criminal activity of the particular released criminal offender;

assigning, by the computing device, a threat level to the particular released criminal offender based at least on the predicted potential future criminal activity; and

outputting, by the computing device, a notification in response to determining that the assigned threat level has increased.

8. The method of claim 7, where the outputting comprises:

providing the notification to a subscriber within a defined proximity of the particular released criminal offender.

9. The method of claim 7, further comprising:

identifying when the particular released criminal offender is within a defined proximity of a second released offender.

10. A computing device comprising:

one or more computer processors; and

a memory comprising instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to;

access geospatial location information including date and time information for released criminal offenders, wherein the geospatial location information is received via communication with monitoring devices of the released criminal offenders;

predicting, based at least on a comparison of geospatial location information associated with a particular one of the released criminal offenders and previous activity of the particular released criminal offender, potential future criminal activity of the particular released criminal offender;

assigning, by the computing device, a threat level to the particular released criminal offender based at least on the predicted potential future criminal activity; and

outputting, by the computing device, a notification in response to determining that the assigned threat level has increased.

11. The computing device of claim 10, wherein the memory comprises instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:

output the notification to provide the notification to a subscriber within a defined proximity of the released criminal offender.

12. The computing device of claim 10, wherein the memory comprises instructions that when executed by the one or more computer processors cause the one or more computer processors to:

identify when the particular released criminal offender is within a defined proximity of a second released offender.
