Predictive Policing: Exploring the Accuracy of Crime Indicator Models

For this project, I wanted to do another mathematical modeling project, and I was interested in the societal impacts of predictive policing, which was used at the time in some precincts in my state. I pulled data from one geographical area and looked for correlation coefficients among data categories. I ran single variable regressions and organized the results; then step-wise multiple regressions. I examined the relationships among time, population and violent crime and graphed the results. After my experience with limitations of the model and the available data from the prior year, I made limitations a more prominent aspect of my project this year.
