Exploratory Analysis of Spatio-Temporal Crime Data in the City of Denver

This project examines what types of spatio-temporal visualization techniques are applicable to crime data and explores how such visuals may be developed into a universally beneficial application for law enforcement and the community, with the primary goal of establishing collaboration between both parties. Five years of Denver crime data were collected and analyzed by the current generation of software tools. These tools were integrated to create visualizations utilized for the development of visual analytics based on geographical information. The resulting application provides the opportunity for individual analysis, monitoring, and collaboration between community members, analysts, and law enforcement agencies
