Based on records of all the police stations of the Kalaburagi city the crime data were classified under various group of offence such as house break in theft/burglary, vehicle theft, chain snatching, robbery, women harassment and accidents. The crime prone area on the bases of distribution of crime incidents are classified into 3 categories i.e. First highest peak hour, Second highest peak hour and Third highest peak hour. The timings under these category are First highest peak hours: during 6.00 pm to 8.00 pm, Second highest peak hour during 3.00 pm to 6.00 pm, Third highest peak hour during 10.00 am to 3 pm.
