3. Analyzing the times of crimes

After you're done, take a look at the End Date / Time and Start Date / Time columns. Are these different from the Dispatch Date / Time column? Would it be useful to use one or both of those columns to do this analysis instead?

- The functions at "#Cephas Crime Finding.ipynb" can count and plot the time of crimes with different approaches.

4. Analyzing locations of crimes

Based on the above criteria, pick a column that you want to use to analyze location. After picking a column, see if you can answer these questions:

  • In what area did the most crimes occur? What physical locations (like cities) does this area correspond to?
  • Which area has the highest number of crimes per capita? You may be able to find population data per area online. For example, this annual report has per-district populations towards the bottom.

Make sure to write up the answers to these questions, along with your code, and explain why you reached the conclusions you did.

5. Analyzing types of crime

The Class Description column tells us something about the type of crime that was committed. We can use this column to discover which crimes are committed most often.

Here are some initial questions to answer:

  • Which crimes are the most common? Least common?
  • Can you split the types of crimes manually into "Violent" (caused harm to others or involved weapons) and "Nonviolent" (mostly property crimes, like theft? What's the most common violent crime? The most common nonviolent?

- The functions at "#Cephas Crime Finding.ipynb" can count the crime types.

- The idea of find crime most violent was complemented with "find the shape of crime domains". This was made and is explained with functions at "#Cephas Crime Finding.ipynb"

6. Combine Analysis

After doing some analysis on types of crimes, you can combine our analysis with location and time data to answer more complex questions, like:

  • Where are the most violent crimes committed? How about nonviolent?
  • When are the most violent crimes committed? How about nonviolent?

Make sure to write up the answers to these questions, along with your code, and explain why you reached the conclusions you did.

7. Posing and answering your own questions

After you've finished exploring the data and answering some directed questions, you should be able to start coming up with some of your own.

You can think of questions based on a few strategies:

  • Expanding or tweaking the directed questions from earlier.
  • Exploring patterns you found while exploring the data.
  • Questions based on research you've done about the previous lessons

Try to think of at least three questions, then answer them the same way you did in previous screens.

- The challenge to deal with crime with huge amount (ex.: 10k instances) and don't let behind the less frenquently crimes (ex.: abuse child with 90 instances). In the crime/police domain is not possible to foccus only in one or some crime types. This can take out lives from people, in real.

- The challenge to show complex domains in simple way. get more with less, and represent the real necessity of the people suffering with crimes.

- What are the ways to do investment with the maximum quantity of result in long term without let the most maleficent and numerous crimes crack the system?
