CRIME INDEX AS ONE OF THE MAIN INDICATORS OF SAFETY

Roman Kmet, Zdenek Dvorak

Abstract


The evolution of crime and its constant changes bring with it several new types of crime, which have many different crimes. By collecting and analyzing data in the form of these offenses, crime statistics are often generated for different periods of time or territorial units. The aim of these statistics is to divide the territory into smaller territorial units in which the level of crime is mutually assessed. For this purpose, a crime index has been created and is currently used to determine the level of crime in a territory. As crime is constantly developing and globalizing, it is necessary to modify this index to optimize and apply it in the European Union. Recently, security research has focused on crime index research. In the currently solved projects at the University of Zilina, creating a set of security indexes is one of the important challenges.
