The information visualization of networks has been a tricky task during the last decade. It is difficult to understand such large amounts of statistical data. A number of solutions have been proposed to tackle this bulk of information. By examining some dynamics of criminal networks and by making use of some novel interactive features, we have found that the prevailing challenges to information visualization can be eliminated to a large extent. The current study will help understand interesting patterns, which are extracted by way of monitoring the temporal data of a criminal activity. We have appended six more features to the PEVNET framework. These are ‘Node color feature’, ‘Link size feature’, ‘Link details on demand feature’, ‘Detecting collaborating sub-cluster feature’, ‘Sub-cluster detection feature’, and ‘Temporal pattern feature’. A novel clustering algorithm has been proposed. We have proposed a unique way of visualizing the clustering of data, with which the analyst gets a sound visualization of the data.
