“…Identity resolution has been used effectively to evaluate customers, and their interests, in the marketing sector and examine travel records but there are few implementations in the field of policing and criminal fraud detection [1]. Duplicate and false identity records are present in databases and electronic systems because of a lack of validation of data attributes or verification during data entry processes [2].…”

“…Six further key attributes are then compared using differing comparisons and distance measures (summarised in Table II). These include the crime reference number in the record (x1), which is used to see if identities have been involved in the same crime, yielding a result of either a direct match (1) or no match (0). The role type (x2) the identity played in the crime (either a defendant or victim) were compared in the same way as either a match (1) or no match (0).…”

In criminal records, intentional manipulation of data is prevalent to create ambiguous identity and mislead authorities. Registering data electronically can result in misspelled data, variations in naming order, case sensitive data and inconsistencies in abbreviations and terminology. Therefore, trying to obtain the true identity (or identities) of a suspect can be a challenge for law enforcement agencies. We have developed a targeted approach to identity resolution which uses a rule-based scoring system on physical and official identity attributes and a graph-based analysis on social identity attributes to interrogate policing data and resolve whether a specific target is using multiple identities. The approach has been tested on an anonymized policing dataset, used in the SPIRIT project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020. The dataset contains four 'known' identities using a total of five false identities. 23 targets were inputted into the methodology with no knowledge of how many or which had false identities. The rule-based scoring system ranked four of the five false identities with the joint highest score for the relevant target name with the remaining false identity holding the joint second highest score for its target. Moreover, when using graph analysis, 51 suspected false identities were found for the 23 targets with four of the five false identities linked through the crimes they had been involved in. Therefore, an identity resolution approach using both a rule-based scoring system and graph analysis, could be effective in facilitating the investigation process for law enforcement agencies and assisting them in finding criminals using false identities.
