Visual exploratory data analysis

Are you more likely to get arrested at a certain time of day? Are drug-related stops on the rise? In this chapter, you will answer these and other questions by analyzing the dataset visually, since plots can help you to understand trends in a way that examining the raw data cannot.

Does time of day affect arrest rate?

Calculating the hourly arrest rate

Plotting the hourly arrest rate

Are drug-related stops on the rise?

Plotting drug-related stops

Comparing drug and search rates

What violations are caught in each district?

Tallying violations by district

Plotting violations by district

How long might you be stopped for a violation?

Converting stop durations to numbers

Plotting stop length
