Abstract

This study examines property crime trends in Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and Putrajaya from 2015 to 2020, utilizing Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and comprehensive crime data from the Royal Malaysia Police. It focuses on the relationship between property crime rates and the delineation of police station jurisdictions across Selangor State, Kuala Lumpur Federal Territory (KLFT), and Putrajaya Federal Territory (PFT). The objective is to understand the dynamics of property crime, its evolution, and the influence of the National Transformation Program on crime prevention strategies. By assessing the spatial distribution of property crimes, this research aims to identify underlying trends and the efficacy of hot spot policing. The analysis is underpinned by an extensive review of secondary data from the Intelligence/Operations/Records Division of the Royal Malaysia Police Headquarters, enabling a deep dive into the spatial characteristics of property crime within these regions. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of crime prevention in Malaysia, underscoring the importance of GIS technology and the need for strategic interventions tailored to specific crime patterns. This study provides critical insights for policymakers and law enforcement to formulate evidence-based strategies, enhance public safety, and inform future crime prevention efforts.

Abstract

This paper investigates the patterns of violent crime in Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya between 2015 and 2020 using advanced spatial analysis techniques, including Spatial Autocorrelation, Standard Deviational Ellipse (SDE), and Mean Centre (MC). The study analyzes the spatial distribution and temporal dynamics of violent crimes, tracks shift in crime hotspots and examines the influence of socio-economic factors on these patterns. Findings reveal that violent crimes predominantly occur in the late afternoon and night, with peak incidents at 3:00 PM (1,830 cases, 8.28%). The study highlights notable shifts in crime hotspots, initially concentrated in commercial districts and gradually expanding to transportation networks and emerging urban areas. The Moran Index values indicate a transition from a near-random pattern in 2015 (-0.002668) to a mild clustering in 2018 (0.032962). Additionally, socio-economic factors, including population density, economic conditions, and the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly impacted crime patterns, leading to changes in crime rates and hotspot locations. These findings are crucial for law enforcement and urban planning, emphasizing the need for adaptive crime prevention strategies that respond to evolving urban challenges, and demonstrating the importance of integrating socio-economic data into spatial crime analysis for comprehensive crime mitigation.
