Overall dataset has been divided into 70:30 for building and testing the models. As resulted 79.8% rate of accuracy found by model using CHAID technique even model tested with 79.1% rate of accuracy. By using Exhaustive CHAID, 79.9% rate of accuracy depicts by the model developed through 70% of test data and model validated through 30% of test data with 78.8% rate of accuracy. The proposed models can help to take any kind of decision further by police departments, sexual harassment cells and law enforcement agencies for security purposes.
