Week 8 - Washington D.C. Crime



Washington D.C. crime, in August of 2009, was highest in the 3rd, 6th, and 7th District Police Station vicinities. I propose several sub stations in crime concentration areas based on the data provided. A more complete study throughout the entire year as well as local input would be necessary to refine community needs and tactical placement of new Police substations in the D.C. area. Any increase in police presence has been shown to decrease crime. This analysis might be used by existing Law Enforcement to better allocate their resources with respect to time and areas patrolled.
