The In recent years the data mining is data analysing techniques that used to analyze crime data previously stored from various sources to find patterns and trends in crimes. Data Mining is the procedure which includes evaluating and examining large pre-existing databases in order to generate new information which may be essential to the organization. The extraction of new information is predicted using the existing datasets. Many approaches for analysis and prediction in data mining had been performed. But, many few efforts has made in the criminology field. 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.
