Thank you so much for maintaining and sharing this excellent data resource! I have two questions regarding the data:
-
When accessing the data in R using the crimedata package, there is no data available for the following city-years: Austin 2019, Charlotte 2016, Chicago 2019, and New York 2018. Would you be able to explain why these years are unavailable?
-
The lat/long coordinates for the New York crime data appear to be highly concentrated around certain points with approximately 1 point per police precinct, rather than being more evenly spatially distributed:
KDE map of crimes in New York City, 2016-2017 and 2019-2020, with boundaries of police precincts
Have the lat/long coordinates of the data been adjusted in any way, perhaps to preserve anonymity?
