description Urbanization has been speeding up social and economic transformations in urban communities, the smallest social units in a city. However, urbanization brings challenges to urban management and security. Therefore, a system of risk prediction of crimes may be essential to crime prevention and control in urban communities and its system improvement. To tackle crime-related problems in urban communities, this paper proposes a model of daily crime prediction by combining Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) and Spatial-Temporal Graph Convolutional Network (ST-GCN) to automatically and effectively detect the high-risk areas in a city. Topological maps of urban communities carry the dataset in the model, which mainly includes two modules — spatial-temporal features extraction module and temporal feature extraction module — to extract the factors of theft crimes collectively. We have performed the experimental evaluation of the existing crime data from Chicago, America. The results show that the integrated model demonstrates positive performance in predicting the number of crimes within the sliding time range.
