In additional, it can be applied to increase efficiency in solving the crimes faster and also can be applied to automatically notify the crimes. However, there are many data mining techniques. In order to increase efficiency of crime detection, it is necessary to select the data mining techniques suitably. This paper reviews the literatures on various data mining applications, especially applications that applied to solve the crimes. Survey also throws light on research gaps and challenges of crime data mining. In additional to that, this paper provides insight about the data mining for finding the patterns and trends in crime to be used appropriately and to be a help for beginners in the research of crime data mining.
