The following are some graphs from police reports in the Bon Air Neighborhood for the Bon Air Neighborhood based on data posted by the Louisville Metro Police Department at https://data.louisvilleky.gov/dataset/crime-reports/resource/6d81fdf8-27e7-41ac-9ae4-1bfd8730f002
As usual it includes the police reports within the boundaries of the historical Bon Air Neighborhood as defined:
1) Bardstown Road on the West
2) Hikes Lane on the South
3) Furman Blvd on the East and
4) Taylorsville Rd and the Watterson Expressway on the North.
It is a Microsoft Excel file that required manipulation and sorting. Three relevant variables were created for month, zone and day of week. All of the missing person reports for 2300 Goldsmith Lane were removed. The edited Excel CSV file was then loaded into JASP, which is an open source statistical package. This analysis does include events that happen on the edge of the neighborhood.
Not all of the results were practical to show. There were 625 police reports. There were too many different types of crime reports to show and too many different streets to show graphically. If requested, I will be happy to create something with the software . . . if it is possible.
It was obvious that the 40218 portion had more of the crime reports. The next obvious result is that the Bon Air zone had the most reports.
August was the month with the most police reports in 2019.
Monday was the day of the week with the most reports.
Here is a list of where the police reports were at by premise or type of property. You can draw inferences where the different reports were made.
It is hoped that 2020 is a safer year in the Bon Air Neighborhood with fewer police reports. The Bon Air Neighborhood Neighborhood Association is very much in support of neighborhood watches, especially in light of expected Metro Government budget cuts that will likely affect LMPD. The more we engage in crime prevention, the more we allow Louisville's Finest to attend to higher priority situations.
I hope that you can come to BANA's next general membership meeting on Monday, March 9, 2020 at 6:30 pm at Buechel Park Baptist Church.
