Processament i anàlisi d’informes policials

Abstract

[en] This thesis consists on the work done in colaboration with the Centre for Criminology (KrimZ) of Wiesbaden and the departments of Experimental Psychology and Scientific Computing and Bioinformatics of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz. The project has been carried out in Mainz and addresses the analysis of the police reports of the incidents that happened in Cologne (Germany) during New Year’s Eve in 2016. The given reports consist of a set of pdf s containing scans of those. The main part of the work is centered in extracting the required information (dates, text, police officers genders, geolocations, etc.) from those scanned images, and also doing a preliminar analysis onto the extracted data, studying the location of the incidents, looking for patterns based on the days the victims take to report and looking as well for patterns in the descriptions of the reports, among others.
