Abstract This study investigates crime patterns within the coastal zones of Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram districts in Kerala, India. Utilizing crime data from over 60 police stations for the year 2020, the research employs advanced spatial statistical techniques to conduct a rigorous analysis. A comprehensive geospatial approach is adopted to identify spatial clusters and outliers of criminal activity, offering valuable insights into the spatial dynamics of crime in these regions. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the geographical distribution of crime, providing a scientific foundation for informed decision-making in both law enforcement and urban planning initiatives.
