Abstract

Brazilian Public Security Departments disclose crime data from their respective states in order to maintain transparency and openness. In fact, the opening of these data not only increases the society's awareness of the problem but also gives to it the opportunity to be more participatory. However, despite the evident benefits and effort to make this data available, there is still some issues on how such data is visualized and presented via Brazilian official portals. Most of the time, crime data is formatted in tables without any statistical information about the facts, making it difficult to have a precise overview about how crimes take place. This paper presents an architecture and system model to improve the availability and visualization of crime data in Brazil with the aim of providing a better visualization experience for those who access this information, allowing them to identify crimes hot spots as well as relevant patterns and trends.
