Hi All,
I am planning my Msc dissertation and I want to find dataset(s) from crime scenes and information about the criminals linked to these crimes. Ideally, I would like personal traits as well other than sex, age, race, and income, or previous convictions.
What I am trying to do is try to create a predictive model where investigators will insert data of a new crime scene and the model will give them the profile of a criminal they should be looking for.
I understand these datasets may exist but not be available to the public. There is plenty of information online about crimes, crime scenes, and the offenders but they are scattered around in books, articles and websites and it will take too long to gather it all in a dataset in time. I need quite a few records in order to have meaningful results and avoid as much as I can, possible bias.
Thank you for your answer.
I have checked Kaggle, ons.gov.uk, data.gov.uk, FBI and (I think) every known source of datasets. The issue is that the datasets I am looking for, need detail which I am afraid I may not find publicly. I am thinking of having variables such as:
Criminal: sex, age, race, (un)employed, income, previous convictions, education, marital status, interests, addictions, relationship with the victim, mental disorders, motive etc
Victim: sex, age, race, (un)employed, income, education, marital status, interests, addictions, relationship with the killer etc
Crime and crime scene (if homicide ): Outdoors / indoors, if indoors was there forced entry, weapon, wounds, cleaned scene, fingerprints, footprints, notes, drugs, bodily fluids, violence levels etc
