Week 10



I had some trouble with a few parts in this lab. Turns out that most of these problems came from projection issues...of course. Anyhow, I learned a great deal about ArcScene and 3D Analyst from this lab. I posted my Line of Sight and Heliport map.

Week 8 Crime Analysis




I've attached the kernel density map for stolen auto information, juvenile crime within 1000 feet of schools, and the basemap for crime in D.C. The entire lab went smoothly with the exception of the graduate project. I tried several address locators to geocode the juvenile crime table with failure at every attempt. I ended up using US One Range for the locator, and it matched 172 crimes.

At any rate, I feel that the drug-free zone had some effect on crime in the area. However, it is hard to say with an incorrect amount of crimes geocoded. I am astounded to find the type of crime in some of the Elementary school zones included assault with a deadly weapon.
