description In the past few decades, the whole world has been badly affected by terrorism and other law-and-order situations. The newspapers have been covering terrorism and other law-and-order issues with relevant details. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no existing information system that is capable of accumulating and analyzing these events to help in devising strategies to avoid and minimize such incidents in future. This research aims to provide a generic architectural framework to semi-automatically accumulate law-and-order-related news through different news portals and classify them using machine learning approaches. The proposed architectural framework discusses all the important components that include data ingestion, preprocessor, reporting and visualization, and pattern recognition. The information extractor and news classifier have been implemented, whereby the classification sub-component employs widely used text classifiers for a news data set comprising almost 5000 news manually compiled for this purpose. The results reveal that both support vector machine and multinomial Naïve Bayes classifiers exhibit almost 90% accuracy. Finally, a generic method for calculating security profile of a city or a region has been developed, which is augmented by visualization and reporting components that maps this information onto maps using geographical information system.
