Background

In the wake of a nationwide controversy over policing, we've decided to study one of the largest police departments in the United States: the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Thanks to the Invisible Institute, a non-profit journalism organization, we acquired and analyzed comprehensive data on police brutality in Chicago. However, there is still much to consider:

What effects do education, income, and marital status have on crime rates and policing patterns? Is the CPD allocating its resources in the most effective manner? Who are the people being policed?

With detailed demographic data, we can more confidently explore these difficult questions.

Methods

We acquired 2 GeoJSON files describing block group and beat boundaries. Using each geographical division has its distinct benefit: block groups have corresponding census data; beats are used in police records.

We then created two 10,000x10,000 arrays of strings, one for each division, where each position (or pixel) represents a 13.8x13.8 ft region of Chicago, and each string assigns that pixel to its block group / beat. The scalings for the two arrays are the same, meaning that pixel (x, y) in the block group array is geographically identical to (x, y) in the beat array.

Block groups (L), beats (R)

We scraped each block group's demographic data from [3]. Under the simplifying assumption that any two pixels within the same block group have the same data, we "distributed" each block group's data among its constituent pixels. Lastly, we calculated the data for each beat by "summing up" the data of its constituent pixels.

Caveats

1) The above procedure of "distributing" and "summing up" data, which enables the conversion from block groups to beats, is an approximation. However, since beats are much larger than block groups (as can be seen in the above maps), we have sufficient reason to trust the accuracy of this approximation method. See the Accuracy section for more details.

2) The CPD has made slight changes to its beat boundaries over the years. The beats described in this dataset are up-to-date. This data still can be used with older police records, but with minor hiccups for a few beats.

Accuracy

The main cause of errors in our data is the imperfect overlapping between block group and beat boundaries. Such overlapping is broken into 2 groups: 1) those along Chicago's boundaries; and 2) those within Chicago's boundaries.

We checked for the impact of 1) by "adding up" the estimated data for each beat and cross-referencing them to Chicago's totals (e.g. adding every beat's population, and comparing the sum to Chicago's population). Since many block groups straddle Chicago's borders, how well our approximation algorithm handles their data determines the accuracy of our totals. We calculated percentage errors between our totals and those from [3], finding that none exceeded 2% (see ERRORLOG.txt for more details). Thus, our data is, for the large part, clear of errors caused by 1).

Since inaccuracies committed by our algorithm within Chicago's boundaries have no impact on our totals, the above method can't find any inaccuracies caused by 2). Indeed, since there exists no official demographic data for beats, it's probably impossible to precisely check for this. The best we could do was to create map...
