New York City Crime

This website shows different insights on problems/crimes in the five boroughs of New York City. We gather data from NYC as a whole and also from the five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, The Bronx, Staten Island, and Queens. We use visualizations in each page to analyze things that may be beneficial to know when visiting or analyzing issues in NYC.

In our New York City Shootings page we observe the trends and problems related to shootings. Shootings are a prevalent and important issue needed to be addressed for safety purposes and for hope to develop future rules to help lower the amount of incidents. Click below to learn more.

This page of the website describes the different types of hate crimes present in NYC. You see the bias and reasoning behind people's crimes and what groups of people they target. Click below to learn more.

The car crashes page in this website shows the car crashes present in different areas of NYC. You can see where crashes are more prominent and where they have occurred less.

Our website demo video is to the left. You see a walk through of our different pages and why we placed them there. You also see how to efficiently navigate through and use the links for your advantage.

What We Learned and Concluded

Throughout this project and website, we learned about many important aspects of crime in New York City. We looked at shootings that took place in each borough and learned which borough in NYC is highest for shootings. We also learned things related to car crashes and hate crimes. We saw how frequent these happened and why they did. We learned how to format and create websites using html. We also learned how to input our visualizations from google colab into the website. Throughout our time working on this project, we also grew and practiced our skills learned in class in terms of gathering data, parsing/cleaning it, and making it into meaningful visualizations. We identified trends and insights on our graphs and developed conclusions based on them.
