Course-End Project Problem Statement


Course-End Project: Crime Analysis

Problem Scenario:Crime analysis is important for law-and-order maintenance at


any place. It helps the police department and law enforcement agencies to identify
patterns of crime, which is crucial for the effective planning of a crime prevention
program. The purpose of crime data analysis is to support the operations of the
police department, like a criminal investigation, apprehension, prosecution, and
development of crime prevention and reduction strategies.

Problem objective:As a data scientist, you should prepare a dashboard to keep the
police department and the city updated on the statistics of crime events. You are
required to create a dashboard/story using tableau for the communication website.
Pay attention to data storytelling.

Steps to perform:
1. Overall Crime Statistics Dashboard:
1. For personnel and resource management, the department needs to
understand the count and types of crimes reported across the city. Mark
the locations on a geo-map highlighting the locations with recent criminal
history.
2. Identify the most common criminal incidents reported.
3. In this introductory dashboard, include a live crime feed to exhibit the
total number of crimes reported to date for the current year and the most
recently reported crime with their time and locations.

2. Time Period Analysis Dashboard:


Along with locations, the study of crime statistics across time statistics is also
crucial for understanding the patterns and planning those preventive strategies.
a. Study distribution count of crime incidents across different time periods
such as day of the week or hour.
b. Further explore the percentage of incident reporting for several time
blocks (afternoon, evening, early morning, etc.).

3. Trend Analysis Dashboard:


1. Create a dashboard to study the change in crime rate over different
years.
2. Compare the change in the incident reporting over the years for the
same date and time.

4. Comparative Analysis:
1. Study the distribution of incidents reported where an arrest was made
vs. not.
2. Identify what percentage of the reported incidents under each incident
category are domestic.

5. To make the dashboard interactive, provide filters for incident type and location
in these dashboards for a granular study.
