  • To account for population size variations across different cities, we calculated crime rates per capita.
  • We examined crime data over recent years to identify patterns, trends, or surges in specific cities.
  • We classified crimes into categories such as violent crimes (e.g., murder, assault) and property crimes (e.g., burglary, theft).
  • Utilizing geospatial tools, we mapped crime occurrences to visualize spatial distributions and identify hotspots within cities.
  • We compared crime rates across different cities and neighborhoods, considering factors such as socioeconomic status, law enforcement practices, and community engagement.
