- danso 10y agoThe FBI Uniform Crime Report and/or NIBRS may be the most comprehensive/granular data there is on homicides nationwide, but I don't think there's incident-level geography: https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACJD/NIBRS/ https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/NACJD/NIBRS/ Counting homicides, and even determining what exactly is a homicide, is not as clear as one might think: http://contentsmagazine.com/articles/homicide-watch-an-interview/ http://contentsmagazine.com/articles/homicide-watch-an-inter... Not that many agencies post the data themselves. Surprisingly, the NYPD does post it as part of their felonies dataset: https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-7-Major-Felony-Incidents/hyij-8hr7/data https://data.cityofnewyork.us/Public-Safety/NYPD-7-Major-Fel...
- TillE 10y agoGood find with the NYPD link. I've seen New York data before that just went precinct by precinct, but this has exact latitude and longitude.
