The solution is expected to have a major impact in stopping traffic accidents and sex crimes, and in combating street crimes such as bag-snatching.

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is considering the introduction of a crime prevention system that uses artificial intelligence and big data to predict when and where crimes might occur.

The Kyoto prefectural police have already launched crime prevention measures that harness big data, steps that have resulted in the apprehension of people for crimes including theft and secretly taking photos with a hidden camera.
