Abstract

A system and computer-implemented method for determining a threat level for one or more individuals includes accessing a data structure to obtain aggregated data stored therein, wherein the aggregated data comprises at least one of communication history data or transaction history data for one or more individuals. One or more predetermined metrics are applied to the obtained aggregated data, to determine threat level information for the one or more individuals. The determined threat level information is provided for display.

Claims (35)

1. A computer-implemented method for determining a threat level for one or more individuals, the method comprising:

accessing a data structure to obtain aggregated data stored therein, wherein the aggregated data comprises at least one of communication history data or transaction history data for one or more individuals;

applying one or more predetermined metrics to the obtained aggregated data, to determine threat level information for the one or more individuals, wherein at least one of the one or more predetermined metrics is weighted so that the threat level information is indicative, for each of the one or more individuals, of a level of likelihood that the individual will exhibit violent or recidivistic behavior; and

providing the determined threat level information for display.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the communication history data and the transaction history data comprise statistical data.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the statistical data for the communication history data corresponds to at least one of telephone calls, voicemails, onsite phone visits, onsite video visits, photo messages, video messages, text messages.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the statistical data for the transaction history data corresponds to deposits, or spending for communication or entertainment.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the one or more predetermined metrics apply respective weights to the statistical data for the communication history data or the transaction history data, to determine the threat level information for the one or more individuals.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, subsequent to determining the threat level information, indication of actual threat data performed by one of the one or more individuals; and

updating, in response to the received indication, the one or more predetermined metrics based on the aggregated data for the one individual, for future determination of threat level information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the accessing is performed in response to a received request for the threat level of the one or more individuals.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the request is one of an automatically generated request or a request manually generated by a user.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more individuals are detainees within a correctional facility.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein for each of the one or more individuals, the threat level is further determined based on a number of known arrests or a cumulative time spent detained for the individual.

11. A system for determining a threat level for one or more individuals, the system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising:

accessing a data structure to obtain aggregated data stored therein, wherein the aggregated data comprises at least one of communication history data or transaction history data for one or more individuals;

applying one or more predetermined metrics to the obtained aggregated data, to determine threat level information for the one or more individuals, wherein at least one of the one or more predetermined metrics is weighted so that the threat level information is indicative, for each of the one or more individuals, of a level of likelihood that the individual will exhibit violent or recidivistic behavior; and

providing the determined threat level information for display.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein each of the communication history data and the transaction history data comprise statistical data.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the statistical data for the communication history data corresponds to at least one of telephone calls, voicemails, onsite phone visits, onsite video visits, photo messages, video messages, text messages.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the statistical data for the transaction history data corresponds to deposits, or spending for communication or entertainment.

15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more predetermined metrics apply respective weights to the statistical data for the communication history data or the transaction history data, to determine the threat level information for the one or more individuals.

16. The system of claim 11 , the operations further comprising:

receiving indication of at least one threatening action performed by one of the one or more individuals; and

updating, in response to the received indication, the one or more predetermined metrics based on the aggregated data for the one individual, for subsequent determination of threat levels.

17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the accessing is performed in response to a received request for the threat level of the one or more individuals.

18. A non-transitory, machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a system, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

accessing a data structure to obtain aggregated data stored therein, wherein the aggregated data comprises at least one of communication history data or transaction history data for one or more individuals;

applying one or more predetermined metrics to the obtained aggregated data, to determine threat level information for the one or more individuals, wherein at least one of the one or more predetermined metrics is weighted so that the threat level information is indicative, for each of the one or more individuals, of a level of likelihood that the individual will exhibit violent or recidivistic behavior; and

providing the determined threat level information for display.

19. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein each of the communication history data and the transaction history data comprise statistical data.

20. The non-transitory, machine-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the statistical data for the communication history data corresponds to at least one of telephone calls, voicemails, onsite phone visits, onsite video visits, photo messages, video messages, text messages.
