abstract="CATCH (Computer Aided Tracking and Characterization of Homicides) is being developed by using the HITS (Homicide Investigation Tracking System) to provide crime analysts enhanced means for interpreting large databases of crime data. The whole system is comprised of several tools, each designed to give the crime analyst a different view of the case data. Since the clustering tools in CATCH are based on artificial neural networks (ANNs), the proximity cases within a two-dimensional representation of the clusters allows the analyst to identify similar or serial murders and sexual assaults.<p />",
