Applications in GIS. Week 5 crime.





This week we worked with data concerning crimes in Washington DC. In the first map we were looking at the different types of crimes. The second and 3 maps we analyzed the number of crimes that occurred near police stations and if the presence of a  station affected the number of crimes. It seemed to be depended on the crime.  Finally for the 4th map we looked at the number of crimes that occurred within 1,000ft of schools. This was upsetting. It was hard scrolling down the attribute table and seeing the amount and offences committed by juveniles. Drug free school zones don't seem to be affective in densely populated areas.
