Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) is undergoing continuous improvement efforts to enhance confidence and strengthen ties with our society by providing access to open data for public safety in Toronto. The Service would like students to examine Major Crime Indicators (MCI) data* available on the Toronto Police Service’s Public Safety Data Portal (PSDP), in order to conduct:

1) Exploratory Analysis of one particular crime type from the MCI dataset (Homicide, Robbery, Assault, Theft Over, Auto Theft, Break & Enter)

2) Insights of main crime tendencies and correlations with demographics, other MCIs, temporal data (time of day, day of week), and other factors

3) Final report and/or presentation of recommendations to decrease the crime rate and enhance crime prevention of the selected MCI

*Consideration to be given on the use of text mining of street names and free form notes

MCI Data can be found at http://data.torontopolice.on.ca/datasets/mci-2014-to-2019
