My students will begin this semester by mapping NYC shooting data from January-June 2022. It is an unfortunate but necessary endeavor. Some of the maps they will be creating include demonstrating locations of fatal shootings and ages of victims.
An important concept in crime mapping is showing WHEN an event has occurred. Students will be creating maps that show the time of day and day of the week shootings occur. This is useful for identifying patterns and applying solutions to this terrible problem.
