The primary objective of this project to visualize crime statistics of the Washington, D.C. area from 2010 to 2020 to date. The data will come from Open Data DC which updates every 2 days with the latest crime incidents that have occurred in the city. There are close to 400,00 records available for analysis and visualization which includes features such as coordinate locations, type of crime, whether a weapon was used and if so what, time of day, and local precinct area. Through inimitable and creative interactivity, we will begin to see how criminal activity has changed over time, begin to understand how it is evolving using time-series forecasting, and ultimately figure out where to prioritize law enforcement resources to deter crime from occurring.
