The data is originally obtained from Data.gov, link will be attached below. Feel free to explore more options beyond this analysis report.

Project Idea

This project focuses on analyzing crime data in Los Angeles to identify patterns and trends. By leveraging various data analysis techniques, we aim to provide insights into crime distribution across different neighborhoods, the types of crimes most prevalent in specific areas, and temporal patterns such as monthly or yearly trends. The goal is to assist local authorities and policymakers in understanding the crime landscape better, enabling them to implement more effective crime prevention strategies and resource allocation.
