Abstract— The increasing prevalence of violence in public and private spaces necessitates the development of efficient, automated detection systems to ensure safety and timely intervention. This research explores the use of machine learning techniques for detecting violent behavior in video feeds, with applications in security and surveillance systems. A comprehensive dataset comprising diverse real-world scenarios is utilized to train and evaluate models. The proposed system utilizes a combination of deep learning architectures, which include CNNs for spatial feature extraction and RNNs for temporal behavior analysis. Data augmentation and transfer learning are used to mitigate the effects of data scarcity and variability. Experimental results demonstrate high accuracy in distinguishing violent from non-violent activities with promising real-time performance. The system is adaptable and scalable, so it is robust for smart cities, public safety, and private security systems' deployment. This research contribution advances the stateof-the-art in violence detection, pointing out the importance of applying machine learning in practical lifesaving applications.
