About this dataset

This dataset is a compilation of reported crimes that have taken place in the City of Chicago over the past year, and provides an invaluable insight into the criminal activity occurring within our city. Featuring more than 65,000 records of data, it contains information on the date of each incident, its location (down to the block level), type of crime committed (determined by FBI Crime Classification Codes) and whether or not an arrest has been made in connection with each crime. As this dataset reveals detailed information on crime incidents which may lead to personal identification, addresses are masked beyond block level and specific locations are not disclosed.

For additional questions regarding this dataset, please do not hesitate to reach out to The Research & Development Division at 312.745.6071 or RandDchicagopolice.com who will be more than happy to help answer any inquiries you may have about our data findings! All visualized maps should be considered approximate however—it is prohibited for any attempts to derive specific addresses from them as accuracy cannot be guaranteed with regards to mechanical or human error when collecting this data over time. So come join us as we explore a year's worth of criminal activities throughout Chicago!

How to use the dataset

This guide will provide an overview on how to use this dataset to analyze patterns or draw conclusions about crime incidents in and around Chicago.

Secondly, become familiar with columns names which appear at top most row of your opened file which helps you understand what kind of data is stored at each column such as - CASE# - Unique identifier for the crime incident., DATE OF OCCURRENCE - Date when crime incident occurred , BLOCK - Block where event took place , LOCATION DESCRIPTION- Description of location where incident happened . Through these columns name you can easily recognize what kind of data exists within that record/row. That’s why it’s important to get familiar with them first before diving into raw datasets because they’ll help make exploring and understanding large sets easier later on when we go further into illustrating charts & graphs using programs such as Tableau & Power BI or even spreadsheets (Excel). After understanding column names its time to explore further by digging deeper into each record/row and apply filters if required e.g below $100 value will show only those rows having value less than 100 thus it will filter entire dataset according to your requirement. Lastly analyse collected datasets either Visually through plotting graphs with help tableau software OR By using Mathematical mathematical equations based on research questions such as finding out average values after applying sum/avg functions from respective cells etc

Research Ideas

• Creating a visualization mapping tool to help visualize the types of crimes and their locations over time within Chicago.
• An analysis tool for city officials or police departments so they can understand correlations between crime type, geography, and other factors like weather changes or economic downturns in order to develop long-term plans for crime prevention.
• Developing an AI model that would be able to predict what areas may be more vulnerable for certain types of crimes or even predict crimes ahead of time based on the data from this dataset

Use Map Area Crime to view crime near a specific location / address or draw your own polygon of interest. Shows crime counts within the visible map area. Use Crime Dashboard to view crime by geographies like CPD District, CPD Beat, Ward and Community Area. Visualize how those polygons overlap. Includes interactive graphs like time of day & day of week. Both applications allow for filtering by date and crime types. Query results can be exported as a .csv file by using a button on the Nearby Crimes widget (Map Area Crime) or lower left on the Crime Incidents widget (Crime Dashboard). Be aware popup blockers may prevent downloading.

Crime data is updated daily but with a 7-day lag from yesterday to allow the data to stabilize before it’s released to the public. Exact house numbers are not shown, and the data is not offset off the street centerline.

This study explores the relationship between crime and neighborhood deterioration in eight neighborhoods in Chicago. The neighborhoods were selected on the basis of slowly or rapidly appreciating real estate values, stable or changing racial composition, and high or low crime rates. These data provide the results of a telephone survey administered to approximately 400 heads of households in each study neighborhood, a total of 3,310 completed interviews. The survey was designed to measure victimization experience, fear and perceptions of crime, protective measures taken, attitudes toward neighborhood quality and resources, attitudes toward the neighborhood as an investment, and density of community involvement. Each record includes appearance ratings for the block of the respondent's residence and aggregate figures on personal and property victimization for that city block. The aggregate appearance ratings were compiled from windshield surveys taken by trained personnel of the National Opinion Research Center. The criminal victimization figures came from Chicago City Police files.

This dataset contains crime data in Chicago, including details such as the type of crime, location, arrest status, and year. It is suitable for predictive modeling, trend analysis, and visualization to understand patterns in crime occurrence.

Illinois Uniform Crime Reporting (IUCR) codes are four digit codes that law enforcement agencies use to classify criminal incidents when taking individual reports. These codes are also used to aggregate types of cases for statistical purposes. In Illinois, the Illinois State Police establish IUCR codes, but the agencies can add codes to suit their individual needs. The Chicago Police Department currently uses more than 400 IUCR codes to classify criminal offenses, divided into “Index” and “Non-Index” offenses. Index offenses are the offenses that are collected nation-wide by the Federal Bureaus of Investigation’s Uniform Crime Reports program to document crime trends over time (data released semi-annually), and include murder, criminal sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault & battery, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Non-index offenses are all other types of criminal incidents, including vandalism, weapons violations, public peace violations, etc.

City of Chicago Crime Data from 2001 to April 2019.

Introduction

Chicago is one of America's most iconic cities. It has a colorful history, which rich histories such. Recently, Chicago was also a setting for one of Netflix's popular series : Ozark. The story has it that Chicago is the center for drug distribution for the Navarro cartel.

So, how true is the series? A quick search on the internet reveals a recently released DEA report on the. The report shows that drug crime exists in Chicago, although they are distributed by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, the Sinaloa Cartel and the Guerros Unidos, to name a few.

Content

The government of the City of Chicago has provided a publicly available crime database accessible via Google BigQuery. I have downloaded a subset of the data with crime_type narcotics and year > 2015. The data contains records between 1 Jan 2016 UTC until 23 Jul 2020 UTC.

The dataset contains these columns : - case_number : ID of the record - date : Date of incident - iucr : Category of the crime, per Illinois Unified Crime Reporting (IUCR) code. [more](https://data.cityofchicago.org/widgets/c7ck-438e) -description: More detailed description of the crime -location_description: Location of the crime -arrest: Whether an arrest was made -domestic: Was the crime domestic? -district: Which district code where the crime happened. [more](https://data.cityofchicago.org/Public-Safety/Boundaries-Police-Districts-current-/fthy-xz3r) -ward: The ward code where the crime happened.

Inspiration

Some questions to get you started:

1. Is there a trend? Is the crime increasing? or decreasing?
2. Is there seasonality? Are dealers more like to be out and about in summer? Do they deal inside in winter?
3. Are some activities more like to happen at certain locations?
4. We tend to think that more deals happen at night, especially as people wind down, and the surroundings get dark. Does the data reflect that?
5. Are the incidents clustered to a certain district? Certain type of location?

Lastly, if you are : - a newly recruited analyst at the DEA / police, what would you recommend? - asked by el jefe del cartel (boss of the cartel) on how to expand operation / operate better, what would you say?

Happy wrangling!
