It will help the common people to know how and where antisocial activities are being held. Here WEKA which implements data mining algorithms is a state-of-the-art facility for developing machine learning (ML) techniques and their application to real-world data mining problems will be used to analyze the collected data. After data collection, based on different types of criminal incidents some communities will be formed. These communities are helpful to detect real world gang or group activities related to crimes. Recommendation in social media is useful concept to aware people and fight against antisocial activities.
