Please predict whether this patent is acceptable.PATENT ABSTRACT: A device and method for generating a crime type combination based on historical incident data. The device includes a memory and an electronic processor. The memory includes historical incident data, which includes a plurality of incidents, each having a crime type. The electronic processor is configured to obtain a sample set of incidents from the historical incident data for each crime type of a plurality of unique crime type combinations. The electronic processor is configured to for each crime type combination, compute a distance correlation between the sample sets of incidents of crime types forming the crime type combination. The electronic processor is configured to select a crime type combination from the plurality of crime type combinations based on the distance correlations of the plurality of crime type combinations, and generate a crime prediction geographic area for the selected crime type combination.
