crime categories, visualize across and within categories

Posted by on 17 Mar 2008 in Tasks

Still need to come up with 7 or so major categories for crimes, primarily to make the graphical visualization feasible. This bit of information would be in addition to the specific crime. Ultimately, the visualization tool will allow for presentation by crime-category, and then by crime within a selected category - if so, then each category needs no more than 7 to 9 members.
Still need a number of other bits and pieces on the graphical presentation.

Capital Trials at the Old Bailey

Simon Devereaux has approximately 10,000 records of people convicted in potentially capital cases between 1710 and 1840 in London heard at the Old Bailey court. This project will create a web-based database which will allow interested researchers and members of the public to compose queries on that data (e.g. women charged with robbery 1710-1720). It must be able to support a range of queries and produce output allowing researchers to identify trends in judicial practice over that time.
