Pittsburgh Police Arrest Data

Whether to reside permantely or to take a stroll around, people are getting more and more conscious about their security. Thus it is important to map the criminal activities in the Pittsburgh. It is said that a lot of these criminal activities happen in secluded areas and in neighborhood which are under developed and mostly black or Asian people are involved in such criminal activities. How true is this? And how does this affect the neighborhood’s reputation?

To answer this question, the dataset I used for this exercise is the Police Arrest Data, which is taken from the dataset collection of WPRDC. This Arrest data contains information on people taken into custody by City of Pittsburgh police officers.
