Rough Draft for Mapping
I want to use the Crime-Alert notifications and pinpoint some of the crime hot spots on campus. I believe that this map will fit the criteria that you have provided. The information that my map will provide is something that isn't shown in traditional maps. I will will attach the email messages that I use with my rationale to show you that I am not making up dots or just putting them on a map. I have a very rough draft completed. It isn't close to being done. What I have done is simply placed the raw data points on the map. Haphazardly, I might add. The emails provide a specific location that I will nail down more specifically. The points in the map I placed simply on the street location that the crime occurred. While the map looks bland now, I plan to add some pizzazz to the project. This would include a legend that would color code the types of crime between assault, robbery, and miscellaneous weirdness such as arson and indecent exposure. If I notice that there is a bunch of crimes close together, then I will add a slight red tinge to the area, maybe a warning sign as well.
