Crime App

For a final project in Matlab programming, my team and I created a program to address crime according to the user’s location or specific address. In our program we examined how to make traveling and exploring safer for tourists. Our data source uses violent crime data from Boston, which is subsequently mapped via longitude and latitude surrounding the user or the address submitted. The program tracks crime over a few years across Boston. The program will take the user’s location or inputted address and will track the data for the area around the user using a specified range and check if the local crime rate statistics are above the average crime rate statistics for the city. Depending on how much the crime rates are above average, the user may get a different warning image and notification along with a map indicating the locations of the specified crimes.
