Weapons and drugs: Python assignment help

In the television documentary “Ross Kemp and the Armed Police” broadcast 6th September 2018 by ITV, multiple claims were made regarding violent crime in the UK.

These claims were that:

1. Violent Crime is increasing
   

2. There are more firearms incidents per head in Birmingham than anywhere else in the UK
   

3. Crimes involving firearms are closely associated with drugs offences

To solve this problem, you will use publicly available data sets that have been prepared for you and placed online. These include (but are not limited to):-

1. Street Level Crime Data published by the UK Home Office, this dataset contains 19 million data rows giving a crime type, together with their location as a latitude and longitude.
   

2. English Indices of Deprivation Data: The English Indices of Deprivation 2010 data set contains the rankings of measures of deprivation within small area level across England. The 32000 localities are ranked from the least to most deprived, scored on seven different dimensions of deprivation.

Specifics

1. Process the given data efficiently using Apache Spark on a cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform. A sample Jupyter Notebook has been provided on Blackboard.

2. Filter the dataset so that only relevant crimes are included.

3. Using appropriate techniques, determine whether Violent Crimes are increasing, decreasing, or are stable.

4. Determine whether there are more firearms incidents per head in Birmingham than anywhere else in the UK. Possession of firearms carries a mandatory prison sentence in the UK. Therefore, you may assume that a crime type of “Possession of weapons” whose outcome is “offender sent to prison” was a firearm incident.

5. Using appropriate techniques, determine whether firearms incidents are associated with drugs offences.

6. Select and prepare no more than four visualizations to support your analytic findings from (3).

7. Explain the reasoning behind your code so that it is clear what each block is intended to achieve (i.e., appropriately comment the command line).

8. Assess the three claims given and determine whether they are true, false, or cannot be determined.

9. Critically assess and report on the advantages, disadvantages, and limitations of the methods used.
