Following the initial descriptive analysis, today I conducted a correlation analysis on numerical variables. The results revealed a positive correlation of 0.025, indicating a subtle rise in offense codes over the years. To delve deeper into this connection, I examined crime rates across all years. The findings showed that 2017 recorded the highest number of reported crimes, followed by 2016 and 2018. Subsequently, there was a gradual decrease in reported crimes, with a slight uptick observed in 2022.
Upon conducting a more in-depth analysis of the offense code groups, it was revealed that the most commonly reported group is “Motor Vehicle Accident Response,” registering a frequency of 41,064, followed by “Larceny” with a frequency of 29,000. Conversely, the least common offense code group is “HUMAN TRAFFICKING – INVOLUNTARY SERVITUDE,” documented only twice.
