Understanding Dataset (October 13, Friday)

Regarding the dataset, it contains information on fatal police shootings. The data is divided into two parts: one with details about the victims and incidents, located in the “/v2/fatal-police-shootings-data.csv” file, and another containing data about police agencies involved in at least one fatal police shooting since 2015, found in the “/v2/fatal-police-shootings-agencies.csv” file. I combined these two CSV files using the “agency_ids” value as a reference and removed any rows with missing data (NaN values).

After discussion with one of my group member, to gain a better understanding of the dataset, I created a visualization using a histogram. The histogram revealed that the number of incidents involving white individuals was the highest, followed by Black, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian individuals. This information provides insights into the distribution of fatal police shootings across different racial groups.
