Crime Rates: The Bronx

Abstract: In This Project, I utilized Data Science to depict information on criminal offenses in the Bronx, per Precinct. Along with popular types of Crimes, Crimes by Month/day as well. It was revealed that Precinct 40 is the most dangerous, and Precinct 50 is the safest.

 Relevance to NYC: It is important to solve and depict the crime rates in the Bronx, to be able to inform people that may be moving in, or trying to find a school for their child to be around, keeping them away from highly active criminal locations.
