Research; Urban Crime Pattern Analysis

[KevinSewe]

Hi everyone,

I intend to undertake the above research project, whose main objectives are;

• To identify the most dangerous areas in the region
• To identify the pattern of crime occurrence in the city
• To compare crime incidences with population for a particular area
• To compare crime occurrences rate with the number of police stations per unit area,..etc

I'll be able to obtain the following data:boundary shapefile for region and unit areas within, population and criminal records for every unit area and location in excel..

I am requesting for any ideas on how to approach the project and the processes/analyses involved to achieve best results.

Thanks
