From my experience reviewing applied criminology research, crime prediction models generally range from regression-based approaches to more recent machine-learning systems. I have seen early work focus on socioeconomic indicators and spatial patterns, while newer studies use neural networks and predictive policing tools. I would recommend starting with foundational criminology texts and then moving to interdisciplinary journals, as this progression helps you understand both the methodological evolution and the ethical debates surrounding prediction.
