This week I created a series of maps that help to outline crime statistics in the Washington, D.C. area. The map on top shows density scales of three differenct crimes; sex abuse, homicides, and burglaries. Incuded is a population density map to help related crime rate to population. The map on the botton shows the amount of crimes in relations to police station locations. Buffers were used to determine distances within 0.5, 1, and 2 miles. This map is usefull in determining a need for increased manpower and more substations in high crime areas. Of all the projects done so far, I enjoyed this one the most. The maps are very easy to interpret and would serve well in a decision making process.
