The Big Data Analytics in Law Enforcement Symposium
澳大辦執法大數據分析應用研討會
澳門大學社會科學學院舉辦首屆“大數據分析在執法領域的應用”研討會,為澳門和香港的高級執法人員提供學術平台,就最先進的研究成果和基於經驗證據的實踐經驗交流意見。
澳大社會科學學院院長代表、副院長蔡天驥致辭時指,研討會旨在促進與會者在理論概念化、前沿計算和定量分析技術方面的專業知識交流,探討大數據分析在執法領域的應用;並提升執法人員處理複雜數據和先進計算工具的思維方式和能力,以了解大數據在執法的三個主要領域:警務、海關和懲教的應用。
香港海關資訊科技科高級參事李建基在“當代犯罪學 × 創新技術”演講中,講述了執法中大數據分析應用的重要領域,包括執法中各種類型“大數據”的定義以及最近對其進行測量和研究的成果、從大數據的角度看犯罪和刑事司法的理論和概念方法、用於計量犯罪或其他類型越軌行為的主要大數據來源和方法、數據收集和解釋中的偏差、在執法中應用大數據分析的常見陷阱、大數據分析在香港海關背景下在旅客篩查攔截搜查中的實際應用、香港海關以雲技術開發的“營健通”社區隔離設施協作平台等。李建基也從大數據的角度總結了犯罪和刑事司法的理論和概念方法。
研討會還設問答環節,香港海關特邀代表團、澳門海關和澳門治安警察局出入境管制廳代表就澳門、香港及其他地區的犯罪特點分享見解,包括成因、趨勢和後果,並就過境港澳邊境的旅客和貨物攜帶違禁品的模式進行深入討論,包括執法人員如何利用大數據分析發現最“有效”的攔截搜查、通過使用確定的一組風險因素增強檢測的策略、以創建基於實證的方法預測違禁品攜帶模式。
該研討會由澳大社會科學學院教授姜波主持。香港海關特邀代表團成員還包括創新及科技策略發展組助理參事鄺子平、電腦法證及資訊科技保安組助理參事陳寶鴻、資訊系統管理高級督察黃芷欣及督察李明慧。澳門警察總局帶領的保安範疇數據治理小組23名代表,以及30名澳門保安部隊高等學校和在讀社會科學碩士學位(治安管理)課程專業的澳門執法人員亦出席了會議。

UM holds Big Data Analytics in Law Enforcement Symposium
The University of Macau (UM) Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) held the inaugural Big Data Analytics in Law Enforcement Symposium to provide an academic platform for senior law enforcement officers in Macao and Hong Kong to exchange views in state-of-the-art research findings and practical experiences informed by empirical evidence.
Representing the dean of the FSS, Associate Dean Cai Tianji said that the symposium aimed to facilitate the exchange of professional knowledge in the conceptualisation of theories and cutting-edge computational and quantitative analysis techniques, explore the application of big data analytics in law enforcement, and improve the mindset and capabilities of law enforcement officers in handling complex data and advanced computational tools in order to enhance their understanding of the application of big data in the three major areas of law enforcement, namely policing, customs and excise, and corrections.
Li Kin Kei, head of the Office of Information Technology of the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, gave a talk titled ‘Contemporary Criminology × Innovative Technologies’ to discuss the main areas of law enforcement where big data analytics is being applied, including the definitions of various types of big data in law enforcement and the results of recent measurements and research into them; theories and conceptual approaches to crime and criminal justice from a big data perspective; major big data sources and methods used to measure crime or other types of deviant behaviour; biases in data collection and interpretation; common pitfalls in the application of big data analytics in law enforcement; real-world applications of big data analytics in screening and stop-and-search of passengers by the Hong Kong Customs; and the Community Isolation Facilities Collaboration and Operation (Co‐Op) Platform developed by the Hong Kong Customs using cloud technology. Li concluded the talk with a summary of the theories and conceptual approaches to crime and criminal justice from a big data perspective.
During the Q&A session, the delegation from the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department, as well as representatives from the Macao Customs Service and the Boarder Control Department of the Macao Public Security Police Force, shared their insights into the characteristics of crime in Macao, Hong Kong and other regions, including the causes, trends, and consequences. They also discussed in-depth the patterns of contraband smuggling by cross-boundary passengers and cargoes between Macao and Hong Kong, addressing questions such as how law enforcement officers can utilise big data analytics to identify the most efficient stop-and-search, enhance detection strategies by using the set of risk factors identified, and thus create an evidence-based approach to predict the patterns of contraband smuggling.
The symposium was moderated by Jiang Bo, professor in the FSS. Members of the delegation from the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department also included Kwong Tze Ping, senior inspector in the Information Systems Administration Division; Chan Po Hung, senior inspector in the Computer Forensic and Information Technology Security Division; Wong Tsz Yan, senior inspector in the Information Systems Administration Division; and Lee Ming Wai, inspector in the Information Systems Administration Division. The event was also attended by 23 representatives from the Data Governance Group, led by the Unitary Police Service, as well as 30 Macao law enforcement officers currently enrolled in the Master of Social Sciences (Public Security Management) programme jointly offered by UM’s FSS and the Academy of Public Security Forces of Macao.
