Hi all, I am a student at National Institute of Design. I wanted to reach out to you to ask for some help on a project I am working on.
I am creating an interactive website for India's crime data as part of my thesis project. I have been using the data provided by NCRB as part of their report for 2016. (That's the last public report I could find) First & foremost I was wondering if I can find more recent crime data (2017 or 2018) would really appreciate it if someone can guide me to the right place to get this as NCRB doesn't have any data beyond 2016. Also while working on the data from the 2016 report, I found a lot of discrepancies specifically in terms of the calculations (mismatch of totals mainly) I was wondering if someone has feedback on how to clean/understand discrepancy in the data? Also tI was surprised to find a major caveat I found in the NCRB report which follows the practice of basing data collection upon the “principal offence” rule. In short, if a rape also involves the murder of a victim then the crime is recorded as a murder and not a rape. This means that some of the most brutal and high profile rape cases in recent memory would not be a part of a dataset. How to deal with this caveat? I would really appreciate any help/suggestions/feedbacks. Also would like to get in touch with others who are looking at this dataset and trying to do something with it. Please feel free to ping me here or email me separately. Cheers, Paridhi -- Datameet is a community of Data Science enthusiasts in India.
