Also to provide the details of the crimes like, the area/location and day of the week the crime has happenedProblem statement :Police departments are often called upon to put more “feet on the street†to prevent crime and keep order. But with limited resources, it’s impossible to be everywhere at once. This visualization shows where crimes take place by type and which day of the week. This kind of information gives local police more guidance on where they should deploy their crime prevention efforts.- Map should be plotted at Block site address level
- Show the Offense, Location and Date of Crime occurrence.
- Show the Number of incidents and frequency in percentage for each type of crime happened(Offense)
- Show each incident happened every month by week and weekday and by offense type
- The dashboard should have Crime type and District filters which will be applicable to all three sheets in the dashboard
- An action from Map should filter out the other two sheets accordingly
- An action from tree map and bar chart should highlight the remaining two sheets according to the selection
