TwitterSerious violent crimes consist of Part 1 offenses as defined by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Uniform Reporting Statistics. These include murders, nonnegligent homicides, rapes (legacy and revised), robberies, and aggravated assaults. LAPD data were used for City of Los Angeles, LASD data were used for unincorporated areas and cities that contract with LASD for law enforcement services, and CA Attorney General data were used for all other cities with local police departments. This indicator is based on location of residence. Single-year data are only available for Los Angeles County overall, Service Planning Areas, Supervisorial Districts, City of Los Angeles overall, and City of Los Angeles Council Districts.Neighborhood violence and crime can have a harmful impact on all members of a community. Living in communities with high rates of violence and crime not only exposes residents to a greater personal risk of injury or death, but it can also render individuals more susceptible to many adverse health outcomes. People who are regularly exposed to violence and crime are more likely to suffer from chronic stress, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. They are also less likely to be able to use their parks and neighborhoods for recreation and physical activity.For more information about the Community Health Profiles Data Initiative, please see the initiative homepage.

This dataset aggregates Seattle Police Department crime statistics with spatial ZIP code boundaries and US Census data to determine the property crime rate per 1,000 residents. The following sources were used to create this dataset:
Source: https://data-seattlecitygis.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/SeattleCityGIS::zip-codes/explore
King County provides approximate ZIP code boundaries, updated quarterly and published by the city of Seattle.
Source: https://data.seattle.gov/Public-Safety/SPD-Crime-Data-2008-Present/tazs-3rd5
The Seattle Police Department publishes data for reported crimes from 2008 to the present, refreshed daily. This data includes whether the crime is classified as against a person, against property, or against society.
The US Census Department American Community Survey (ACS) publishes 5-year estimates of population by a variety of geographies, including ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs), geographic approximations of each ZIP code.
Using the pandas and geopandas libraries within python, the following processing steps were followed to prepare this dataset: - Converted the date and time reported field in the SPD dataset to a datetime object and extracted the year - Filtered to crimes reported between 2008 and 2021 - Filtered to only crimes against property - Dropped rows with null values for year, crime against category, longitude, or latitude - Performed a spatial join using the latitude and longitude for each report in the SPD data to append a ZIP code from the King County ZIP Code boundary shapefile - Summarized to calculate a count of property crimes reported for each combination of year and ZIP code - Summarized by ZIP code to calculate the count of years with at least one crime reported and the total number of property crimes reported - Calculated the average number of property crimes reported per year in each ZIP code - Merged with the ACS population estimates - Calculated the number of property crimes reported per year per 1,000 population for each zip code

Much research has examined how crime rates vary across urban neighborhoods, focusing particularly on community-level demographic and social characteristics. A parallel line of work has treated crime at the individual level as an expression of certain behavioral patterns (e.g., impulsivity). Little work has considered, however, whether the prevalence of such behavioral patterns in a neighborhood might be predictive of local crime, in large part because such measures are hard to come by and often subjective. The Facebook Advertising API offers a special opportunity to examine this question as it provides an extensive list of “interests” that can be tabulated at various geographic scales. Here we conduct an analysis of the association between the prevalence of interests among the Facebook population of a ZIP code and the local rate of assaults, burglaries, and robberies across 9 highly populated cities in the US. We fit various regression models to predict crime rates as a function of the Facebook and census demographic variables. In general, models using the variables for the interests of the whole adult population on Facebook perform better than those using data on specific demographic groups (such as Males 18-34). In terms of predictive performance, models combining Facebook data with demographic data generally have lower error rates than models using only demographic data. We find that interests associated with media consumption and mating competition are predictive of crime rates above and beyond demographic factors. We discuss how this might integrate with existing criminological theory.

Please keep in mind, given what is communicated in the methodology file from the .zip file, be wary about drawing particular conclusions from this data.
I have not made any changes to this file. All preprocessing was done after creating a dataframe via the Pandas library.
There are 28 columns in the dataset. There are 219,073 entries in this data. There are no duplicate values in this data. The following eight columns have null values (PUB_AGENCY_UNIT, ADULT_VICTIM_COUNT, JUVENILE_VICTIM_COUNT, ADULT_OFFENDER_COUNT, JUVENILE_OFFENDER_COUNT, OFFENDER_RACE, OFFENDER_ETHNICITY, and TOTAL_INDIVIDUAL_VICTIMS).
This dataset has the Apache 2.0 license.
Some questions that I have about the data:
Why are there so many columns with large amounts of NaN values? Could this be related to inconsistences in reporting?
For the columns related to race and ethnicity, why is the largest category "Unknown"? Could it be that information was not gathered during the time the hate crime was initially recorded?
How can this data, especially when worked on by data analysts and data scientists, help law enforcement agencies in better understanding and ultimately reducing hate crimes in the US?

TwitterThis study examined spatial and temporal features of crime guns in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in order to ascertain how gun availability affected criminal behavior among youth, whether the effects differed between young adults and juveniles, and whether that relationship changed over time. Rather than investigating the general prevalence of guns, this study focused only on those firearms used in the commission of crimes. Crime guns were defined specifically as those used in murders, assaults, robberies, weapons offenses, and drug offenses. The emphasis of the project was on the attributes of crime guns and those who possess them, the geographic sources of those guns, the distribution of crime guns over neighborhoods in a city, and the relationship between the prevalence of crime guns and the incidence of homicide. Data for Part 1, Traced Guns Data, came from the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. Gun trace data provided a detailed view of crime guns recovered by police during a two-year period, from 1995 to 1997. These data identified the original source of each crime gun (first sale to a non-FFL, i.e., a person not holding a Federal Firearms License) as well as attributes of the gun and the person possessing the gun at the time of the precipitating crime, and the ZIP-code _location where the gun was recovered. For Part 2, Crime Laboratory Data, data were gathered from the local county crime laboratory on guns submitted by Pittsburgh police for forensic testing. These data were from 1993 to 1998 and provided a longer time series for examining changes in crime guns over time than the data in Part 1. In Parts 3 and 4, Stolen Guns by ZIP-Code Data and Stolen Guns by Census Tract Data, data on stolen guns came from the local police. These data included the attributes of the guns and residential neighborhoods of owners. Part 3 contains data from 1987 to 1996 organized by ZIP code, whereas Part 4 contains data from 1993 to 1996 organized by census tract. Part 5, Shots Fired Data, contains the final indicator of crime gun prevalence for this study, which was 911 calls of incidents involving shots fired. These data provided vital information on both the geographic _location and timing of these incidents. Shots-fired incidents not only captured varying levels of access to crime guns, but also variations in the willingness to actually use crime guns in a criminal manner. Part 6, Homicide Data, contains homicide data for the city of Pittsburgh from 1990 to 1995. These data were used to examine the relationship between varying levels of crime gun prevalence and levels of homicide, especially youth homicide, in the same city. Part 7, Pilot Mapping Application, is a pilot application illustrating the potential uses of mapping tools in police investigations of crime guns traced back to original point of sale. NTC. It consists of two ArcView 3.1 project files and 90 supporting data and mapping files. Variables in Part 1 include date of manufacture and sale of the crime gun, weapon type, gun model, caliber, firing mechanism, dealer _location (ZIP code and state), recovery date and _location (ZIP code and state), age and state of residence of purchaser and possessor, and possessor role. Part 2 also contains gun type and model, as well as gun make, precipitating offense, police zone submitting the gun, and year the gun was submitted to the crime lab. Variables in Parts 3 and 4 include month and year the gun was stolen, gun type, make, and caliber, and owner residence. Residence locations are limited to owner ZIP code in Part 3, and 1990 Census tract number and neighborhood name in Part 4. Part 5 contains the date, time, census tract and police zone of 911 calls relating to shots fired. Part 6 contains the date and census tract of the homicide incident, drug involvement, gang involvement, weapon, and victim and offender ages. Data in Part 7 include state, county, and ZIP code of traced guns, population figures, and counts of crime guns recovered at various geographic locations (states, counties, and ZIP codes) where the traced guns first originated in sales by an FFL to a non-FFL individual. Data for individual guns are not provided in Part 7.
