Method & notes
The category totals are useful for composition and trend analysis, but they do not describe every form of harm or every unreported offence.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSHow the numbers were calculated
PulseKita aggregates all granular police-district crime rows into the source's two published categories: assault (shown as violent crime) and property.
- The labels preserve the source classification: assault is presented as violent crime and property as property crime.
- Counts refer to actual crimes where a conviction was secured.
- Unreported crimes are outside this dataset.
