The UK Data Service is holding two free workshops on mapping crime data in R on 7 and 8 June.
Crime data often contains spatial components. As a result, analyses of crime data can create patterns that are clearly linked to geography. Naturally, putting the data or analysis on a map makes a lot of sense.
The first workshop, Mapping crime data in R: An Introduction to GIS and spatial data, is on 7 June and will cover some fundamental theories and concepts surrounding GIS and spatial data.
The second workshop, Mapping crime data in R: Live code demonstration, is on 8 June and will be a live code demonstration using R to explore these concepts.
Event Level: Beginner
Prerequisites: These workshops are suitable for intermediate (or higher) users of R but there is need to have experience with GIS software or spatial data. Users should be comfortable with how to set the working directory in R, how to read in data, how to write basic R functions and how to save scripts and output files. R and Rstudio must be already installed.
Target Audience: Researchers/anyone interested in crime and spatial data.
