Crime data often contains spatial components. As a result, analyses of crime data often lead to patterns that are clearly linked to geography. Naturally, putting the data or analysis on a map makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately, if you have never matched statistical data to spatial data then you may not know how easy it can be to make beautiful data maps. That’s where this workshop comes in! The aim of this free workshop is to teach participants how to use the R statistical and graphical environment to map open-source police recorded crime statistics onto geographic representations. More specifically, we will:
- use R packages such as ggplot, sf and tmaps
- briefly explore open-source crime data using Surrey as an example
- introduce how to download, import and use spatial data in the form of shapefiles
- demonstrate how to join crime data to shapefiles
- introduce classification methods
- use census data to map crime rates
