Opening statement summary: The paper analyzes 2011 crime data across Toronto neighbourhoods, comparing total crime with specific types to identify trends.
Strong positive points: The data visualizations are clear, and the discussion section effectively addresses important findings, particularly the correlation between assault and overall crime rates. The introduction and explanation of the data are concise and easy to follow.
Critical improvements needed: The analysis lacks population standardization, making the crime comparisons misleading without adjusting for neighbourhood size. The use of 2011 data limits the study’s relevance to current trends, and weak correlations between crime types are not deeply explored. Formatting issues in the repository, missing reference uploads, and an outdated README diminish the project's professionalism.
Suggestions for improvement: Incorporating population data, updating or discussing more recent trends, and further exploring assault's stronger correlation would enhance the analysis. Additionally, improving the repository structure and documentation would make the project more complete and accessible.
Evaluation: Estimated mark: 75/100. The paper is insightful but needs adjustments for accuracy, relevance, and presentation.
