Extracting Hidden Crime Patterns by Analysing Crime Dataset
摘要
This research initiative represents a comprehensive effort to unveil latent criminal tendencies by harnessing sophisticated data analytical methods. The focus is on a substantial dataset encompassing criminal activities within the city of Boston from 2017 to 2022. The study utilizes Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) as a pivotal tool to systematically investigate and extract hidden patterns of criminal behavior, thereby acquiring valuable insights from the extensive dataset. The exploration of concealed crime patterns involves the application of diverse analytical techniques. Firstly, the study delves into temporal trends to discern patterns that may indicate shifts in criminal activity over time. Correlation heatmaps are utilized to uncover potential relationships between various types of criminal incidents, providing a nuanced understanding of their interconnectedness. Cluster mapping is utilized to spatially visualize concentrations of criminal activities, facilitating of high-risk areas. Furthermore, the distribution of crime categories is meticulously examined, shedding light on the prevalence of specific offenses within the dataset. Heatmap visualizations are employed to provide a visually intuitive representation of crime hotspots, contributing to a more accessible interpretation of spatial patterns. By employing these methodological approaches, the research seeks to make a meaningful contribution to our understanding of criminal dynamics in Boston.
