Outline of research activitiesIn these days of drastic social change, it is difficult to predict how the future will unfold. Crime is also facing an endless number of unique crimes of lone offenders, as seen in the murder of former Prime Minister Abe, the extended suicide case in Kyoto Animation, and the murders that occur in closed rooms on trains. Such crimes cause anxiety among the public and have a significant impact on safety and security, which is the foundation of society. Given the limitations of the limited human resources of the police, we are researching efficient police activities and new investigation methods utilizing ICT, as well as crime prediction through crime occurrence analysis.
In addition, in order to protect the lives of citizens who are extremely difficult to rescue by self-help and mutual aid in the event of a disaster such as a torrential downpour or a massive earthquake caused by global climate change, we are conducting research on how local governments, self-defense forces, fire departments, and police can act to protect citizens by utilizing ICT technology to gather information on their daily living conditions. We are also conducting research on how local governments, the Self-Defense Forces, fire departments, and police can act to protect the public.- Desired cooperation
