Context: Crime in major metropolitan areas, such as London, occurs in distinct patterns. This data covers the number of criminal reports by month, LSOA borough, and major/minor category from Jan 2008-Dec 2016. Content: 13M rows containing counts of criminal reports by month, LSOA borough, and major/minor category.

Any boroughs where particular crimes are increasing or decreasing? Policy makers use this data to plan upcoming budgets and deployment--can you use previous year crime reports to reliably predict later trends? If you normalize by borough population, can you find any areas where crime is more or less likely?
