I am looking at the table of contents and it looks like the topics are just the same ones as any other Python for data analysis book. Is there anything specific in the book that is specific to "Crime Analysis" or it is just another data analysis task?
- apwheele 2y agoThe examples are crime analysis focused, you can see the final chapter end-project example here, https://github.com/apwheele/CrimeBook https://github.com/apwheele/CrimeBook. But yes the fundamentals are the same for most any "data analyst job". If you look at the preface section "What this book is not", I discuss that point: > This book is aimed to get you started writing code and applying it to real tasks crime analysts need to conduct. I use realistic examples that a crime analyst may be interested in conducting, such as sending automated emails, making year-to-date tables, and creating line charts. But I do not discuss in detail things like the Poisson distribution for analyzing crime rates or why hotspot analyses is important.
