Analysis of Criminal Networks in Python
Date/Time: March 5, 2026 • 1200 hrs • US Eastern Time
Instructor: Ruslan Klymentiev
Price: Free for all attendees
Recording: This webinar will be recorded. Registered participants will receive access within approximately 48 hours, whether or not they attend live.
This webinar introduces criminal network analysis using Python, focusing on co-offending networks derived from police data. Participants will follow the analytical workflow, from raw police data to the construction and analysis of a social network of co-offenders. The aim is to demonstrate how routinely collected police records can be transformed into network representations that reveal how offenders are connected through shared criminal activity.
In addition to network analysis, the webinar highlights practical data manipulation techniques in Python that are commonly required when working with police data. All examples are implemented using open-source Python libraries, including Pandas for data manipulation, NetworkX for network construction and analysis, and PyViz for network visualization. No prior knowledge of social network analysis or Python programming is required, although familiarity with data analysis concepts may be advantageous.
