New York subway, one of the main public transportations for New Yorkers, provides super convenience for local citizens, at the same time, brings potential danger to passengers, where criminals are attracted to busier subway stations for certain kinds of crime like pick pocketing, grand larceny and assault. The cloest train compartment can trigger cime and make victims harder to run.
11/21/2021, around 12:00 AM, at 34th Street-Penn Station in Manhattan, Alkeem Loney, a 32-year-old male, was stabbed in the neck during an unprovoked attack and was pronounced dead later as NYPD stated. The deadly incident is the latest in a pate of violence underground that comes as the MTA tries to get commuters back on mass transit. The horrible crime event raised lots of public concern about the safety at subway stations, the safety tightly related to almost every citizen who are living, working and studying in New York City.
As students who are living here in New York City, most of us will almost take subway to the campus in early morning and back to apartment in nights on weekdays, and hang out with friends on weekends. Keeping away from danger at subway stations is closely related to ourselves. We hope we are able to help citizens to find the comparatively safe and reliable routes when taking subways.
The orginal subway crime data has two parts.The first one contains all valid felony, misdemeanor, and violation crimes reported to the New York City Police Department— NYPD. The second one includes similar crimes. We join these two data frames and only analyze crimes which happen in subway, NYC.
The orginal Subway passenger data is from MTA(Metropolitan Transportation Authority). The orginal data contains total entries and exits in each station in every 4 hours from 2010 to now.
