Why do we need independent crime data analysis? • To increase public confidence in data • To find errors • To have a benchmark of accountability • To release new thinking and innovation
Why and how crime statistics are used • First measure a problem to allocate the resource • How collected? Recorded crime, insurance claims, surveys • How used? To distribute Police resources more efficiently, for insurers to guage risk, for Politicians to make a fuss !
The 3 subsets of crime data • About the Suspect/Criminal • About the Victim • About the Crime
Limitations of Crime Statisics 1: • Recorded v. Believed v. unknown Actual • Crime usually requires secrecy
Limitations of Crime Statisics 2: People • Static & transient population • Key to Crime Rate • Population growing and always moving
