Inspiration:
Are there seasonal or time-of-week/day changes in crime occurrences? Any boroughs where particular crimes are increasing or decreasing? Policy makers use this data to plan upcoming budgets and deployment--can you use previous year crime reports to reliably predict later trends? If you normalize by borough population, can you find any areas where crime is more or less likely?
