Abstract
To reduce the probability of violent crimes, the deep learning (DL) technology and linear spatial autoregressive models (ARMs) are utilised to estimate the model parameters through different penalty functions. In addition, under a determinate space, the influences of environmental factors on violent crimes are discussed. By taking campus violence cases as examples, the major influencing factors of violent crimes are found through data analysis. The results show that campus violence cases are usually caused by the complex surrounding environments and persons. Also, campus security measures only cover a small range, and the security management is difficult. In the meantime, due to the younger ages and lack of self-protection awareness, students may easily become the targets of criminals. Therefore, the results have a positive significance for authorities to analyse the crime rates in a determinate area and take preventive measures against violent crimes.
