Shootings inwards New York: 2010-2013 is a map of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice Research as well as Evaluation Center's Shooting Index for New York census tracts.
The Center's Shooting Index represents the per capita lay out of shootings inside a tract inwards which a civilian was injured from 2010-2013. That is clear enough. However the index is 'calculated to weigh recent shootings to a greater extent than heavily than shootings for before years'. Which without whatever information on the weighting applied past times the Center is a lot less clear.
The map includes the pick to click on the census tracts to break information most the racial make-up of the population, the per centum of people inwards exercise as well as the per centum living inwards poverty. It is a shame that this information doesn't every bit good include the full lay out of shootings which would aid to overcome the opaqueness of the Center's ain Index values.
