ABSTRACT
Most of the criminals choose each other to commit crime together. They choose each other based on their similarity or need for particular skills and expertise. Research shows that some features of crime and criminals are important for their decisions to commit crime together. Co-offending history of criminals and similarity of hometown and kinship between criminals are important. Choice of crime location, time and similarity of crime committing methods between criminals are other important factors. To see which crime features are important for committing crime together, two data sets which contain thousands of crimes and hundreds of criminals records, are tested for which features are the most important for criminal network members to work together.
