About
This dataset, titled "Crime Index 2022 Mid-Year", provides an estimation of the overall level of crime and safety within various cities and countries globally. These historical indices are published periodically, offering a snapshot of perceived safety and crime levels. The Crime Index categorises levels from very low (below 20) to very high (above 80), while the Safety Index operates conversely, where a high value indicates a very safe city. Unlike governmental statistics, this dataset offers a more consistent basis for cross-country comparisons, addressing issues such as differing reporting likelihoods, potential data manipulation, and the general lack of availability of governmental data for many parts of the world.
Columns
- Rank: A numerical indicator representing the row's position in the dataset.
- City: Contains the name of a city and its corresponding country. This column could potentially be split into separate 'City' and 'Country' columns for easier analysis.
- Crime Index: An estimated numerical value reflecting the overall crime level in a given city or country. Values below 20 indicate very low crime, 20-40 low, 40-60 moderate, 60-80 high, and above 80 very high.
- Safety Index: A numerical value that is the inverse of the crime index. A higher Safety Index suggests a very safe city or country.
Distribution
The dataset is provided in a CSV format and is approximately 17.52 kB in size. It comprises 4 columns and contains 453 unique records or rows, with no missing or mismatched data entries across its key fields.
Usage
