My research question is, did the homicide rate between 2010 and 2021 increase or decrease in Brooklyn, located in the 62nd precinct?

I gathered data from the NYPD and UCR and was able to see the changes between the National and state data. The chart that is shown below shows how the homicide rate increased in the past 10 years. It is concerning to see that in the past 3 is when the homicide rate was been increasing.

The chart shown below shows the homicide rates of the State of New York. We can see that in 2010 the rates were at its highest and through the years they started decreasing. The numbers decreased for a couple of years but in 2019 the homicide rates started increasing again in New York.

The next chart below, shows the National data, the New York State data , and the 62nd precinct data. We can observe how the 62nd precinct has lowered its numbers in homicide by a lot. The United states and New York show how the numbers have been rising since 2018, meanwhile the 62nd precinct have been low in homicide rates in 2018.

It was interesting seeing that throughout the years the Asian population increased while the white population decreased. Although I see and equal amount of both Asians and White people, I am very intrigued as to why both populations increased and decreased by a big difference.

I was surprised to see that the national statistics rised through out the years along with the state statistics. The homocide rates in my precinect has improved throughout the years. THe 62nd precinect has been low in number of homcides through the year.
