Project Details

This project revolves around my participation in the Interactive Dashboard category of the Analytical Products Contest hosted by the International Association of Crime Analysts (IACA). I am thrilled to have secured the second-place honor in this prestigious competition. The heart of this project is a dynamic dashboard designed to visualize Type I crimes (including aggravated assault, burglary, Larceny-Tehft, Motor vehicle theft, and robbery) reported by the Baton Rouge Police Department between January 1, 2023, and June 27, 2023.

There are three key features of this dashbaord.

- Interactive Visualization: This dashboard leverages a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, featuring Vue.js, Google Maps API, and ApexChart.js. The result is a highly interactive and user-friendly interface, allowing users to explore and interact with the data effectively.

- Dynamic Map: A dynamic map component forms the core of this dashboard, providing spatial insights into the distribution of Type I crimes within Baton Rouge. Users can zoom in, pan, and click on map elements to access specific information about crime locations.

- Interactive Charts: Complementing the dynamic map are interactive charts, which offer a comprehensive view of crime trends, patterns, and statistics. Users can dynamically filter and manipulate the data through these charts, gaining deeper insights into the reported crimes.

The development and recognition of this interactive dashboard hold significant implications for the field of crime analysis. It represents a step forward in enhancing the accessibility and usability of critical crime data, potentially revolutionizing how professionals in law enforcement and criminal justice systems perform their duties.
