Using knowledge such as where and when crime occurs, this paper highlights what the inputs and outputs of crime analysis could be. The relationship between financial characteristics and crime rate for police areas of Tamil Nadu was inquired in to. Then, spatial GIS analyses using Spatial Analyst, Hotspot Analysis was performed. The findings of this paper give the possible incident sites. %K Crime analysis %K Hotspot analysis %K data manipulation %K spatial crime distribution %U http://www.ijsce.org/attachments/File/Vol-1_Issue-5/E0163081511.pdf
