A landing space for my projects.
Since I’m currently visiting the Montreal area, I figured why not become more familiar with the city and its crime. But why crime? Surely there are nicer things to learn about Montreal than its crime rates? The reason why I’ve picked crime is that police data on crimes is usually publicly accessible, and contains geographic and date information. It’s an easy source of data that you can explore with.
I first discovered this visualization when looking for Montreal crime data. Besides the fact it is only in French, it only allows you to filter by type of category and date. Once I found this visualization though, it was only a hop and a skip to finding the raw data behind it: http://donnees.ville.montreal.qc.ca/dataset/actes-criminels
