Investigating Crimes in Chicago

For this project, we explored a data set about crimes in the city of Chicago in order to uncover insights and answer four different questions:

Does education influence the number of crimes?
What type of crimes happens more often near schools? And there is a difference between public and private schools?
What types of socioeconomic factors influence the amount and types of crimes?
How effective are gun restriction laws in reducing crime?

We also created an interactive Shiny app to view the relationship between socioeconomic indicators and crimes.

Please check out more details, additional visualizations, the reasoning behind the design and the code on the project page.
