Reported major felony crimes that have occurred within New York City parks

The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) collects crime reports from more than 500 New York State police and sheriffs’ departments. DCJS compiles these reports as New York’s official crime statistics and submits them to the FBI under the National Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. UCR uses standard offense definitions to count crime in localities across America regardless of variations in crime laws from state to state. In New York State, law enforcement agencies use the UCR system to report their monthly crime totals to DCJS. The UCR reporting system collects information on seven crimes classified as Index offenses which are most commonly used to gauge overall crime volume. These include the violent crimes of murder/non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; and the property crimes of burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Police agencies may experience reporting problems that preclude accurate or complete reporting. The counts represent only crimes reported to the police but not total crimes that occurred.

This map shows the incidence of seven major felonies -- burglary, felony assault, grand larceny, grand larceny of a motor vehicle, murder, rape, and robbery -- in New York City over the past year. Data can be mapped in aggregate at the precinct level, as a heat map showing concentration of crimes, or as individual incident points.

Statistical breakdown by citywide, borough, and precinct.

Context

With this dataset I hope to raise awareness on the trends in crime.

Content

For NYPD Complaint Data, each row represents a crime. For information on the columns, please see the attached csv, "Crime_Column_Description". Reported crime go back 5 years but I only attached reported crime from 2014-2015 due to file size. The full report can be found at NYC Open Data (https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-Complaint-Data-Historic/qgea-i56i)

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank NYC Open Data for the dataset.

Inspiration

Additional things I would like to better understand: 1. Differences in crime that exist between the 5 boroughs 2. A mapping of the crimes per borough 3. Where do the most dangerous crimes happen and what time?

This dataset contains the collection and maintenance of crime data for incidents that occur in New York City public schools.

In 2024, the City of New York experienced a total of ******* felonies. This was a large decrease from 2001 when ******* felonies were reported. These figures comprise the seven major categories of felonies that are listed by the New York Police Department (NYPD) for statistical analysis. They are murder and non-negligible manslaughter, rape, robbery, felony assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny of motor vehicle.

About Our Dataset

This dataset was compiled for use in our capstone project for the M.S. in Data Science at Drexel University. We collected our data through thousands of calls to the NYC OpenData platform. After collecting all the data, we dropped columns that we didn't think add value. Despite our best effort, due to time constraints, we weren't able to scrub all null values for the less frequently used attributes like any of the "computed_region" colunns. However, the dataset is in a usable form and ~95% cleaned.

Content

While most of the data like "arrest_date" and "age_group" are straightforward, here is a key for some items that may be less obvious.

Thanks to NYC Open Data for the data.

This project has been a collaboration between Ambrose Karella, Janam Patel, and Naimish Bizzu.

We thought this data was interesting because it allows for exploring crime in a geospatial way. While broad demographics are interesting, we can get more granular and answer questions like "where is a tourist least likely to be a victim in a crime?"

We look forward to seeing any work based on this dataset :)

Firearm counts are derived from taking the number of violent crimes which involve a firearm. Population data are provided every year by the FBI, based on US Census information. Police agencies may experience reporting problems that preclude accurate or complete reporting. The counts represent only crimes reported to the police but not total crimes that occurred.

There has been little research on United States homicide rates from a long-term perspective, primarily because there has been no consistent data series on a particular place preceding the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), which began its first full year in 1931. To fill this research gap, this project created a data series on homicides per capita for New York City that spans two centuries. The goal was to create a site-specific, individual-based data series that could be used to examine major social shifts related to homicide, such as mass immigration, urban growth, war, demographic changes, and changes in laws. Data were also gathered on various other sites, particularly in England, to allow for comparisons on important issues, such as the post-World War II wave of violence. The basic approach to the data collection was to obtain the best possible estimate of annual counts and the most complete information on individual homicides. The annual count data (Parts 1 and 3) were derived from multiple sources, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports and Supplementary Homicide Reports, as well as other official counts from the New York City Police Department and the City Inspector in the early 19th century. The data include a combined count of murder and manslaughter because charge bargaining often blurs this legal distinction. The individual-level data (Part 2) were drawn from coroners' indictments held by the New York City Municipal Archives, and from daily newspapers. Duplication was avoided by keeping a record for each victim. The estimation technique known as "capture-recapture" was used to estimate homicides not listed in either source. Part 1 variables include counts of New York City homicides, arrests, and convictions, as well as the homicide rate, race or ethnicity and gender of victims, type of weapon used, and source of data. Part 2 includes the date of the murder, the age, sex, and race of the offender and victim, and whether the case led to an arrest, trial, conviction, execution, or pardon. Part 3 contains annual homicide counts and rates for various comparison sites including Liverpool, London, Kent, Canada, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco.

In 2023, the District of Columbia had the highest reported violent crime rate in the United States, with 1,150.9 violent crimes per 100,000 of the population. Maine had the lowest reported violent crime rate, with 102.5 offenses per 100,000 of the population. Life in the District The District of Columbia has seen a fluctuating population over the past few decades. Its population decreased throughout the 1990s, when its crime rate was at its peak, but has been steadily recovering since then. While unemployment in the District has also been falling, it still has had a high poverty rate in recent years. The gentrification of certain areas within Washington, D.C. over the past few years has made the contrast between rich and poor even greater and is also pushing crime out into the Maryland and Virginia suburbs around the District. Law enforcement in the U.S. Crime in the U.S. is trending downwards compared to years past, despite Americans feeling that crime is a problem in their country. In addition, the number of full-time law enforcement officers in the U.S. has increased recently, who, in keeping with the lower rate of crime, have also made fewer arrests than in years past.
