Answer to Question 2

 A relatively new criminological technique, data mining uses multiple advanced computational methods, including artificial intelligence (the use of computers to perform logical functions), to analyze large data sets usually involving one or more data sources.
 The goal is to identify significant and recognizable patterns, trends, and relationships that are not easily detected through traditional analytical techniques.
 Data mining might be employed to help a police department determine if burglaries in their jurisdiction have a particular pattern.
 To determine if such a pattern exists, a criminologist might employ data mining techniques with a variety of sources, including calls for service data, delinquency or incident reports, witness statements, suspect interviews, tip information, telephone toll analysis, or Internet activity.
 The data mining might uncover a strong relationship between the time of day and place of occurrence.
 The police could use the findings to plan an effective burglary elimination strategy.
