The second project entails examining data sourced from the Washington Post data repository, specifically focusing on fatal police shootings in the United States. To initiate the preliminary assessment of the data and its characteristics, I have initiated basic commands, such as “describe()” and “info()”. Currently, the dataset contains 8,770 data points spanning from January 2, 2015, to October 7, 2023. Currently, I am actively comprehending the dataset and exploring potential analyses and applications it offers.
Stats:
Total Shootings: 8,770
Time Span: 2015-2023
States: 51
Cities: 3,374
Police Departments: 3,417
