The Seattle Police Department maintains robust, qualitative, open data on criminal activity in the city. While working with previous versions of these data, high rates of assault and abduction among Asian-American women in Southeastern Seattle were identified. These observations corresponded with investigations inside a sex trafficking ring. The goal is to continue this exploration with the most recent version of these data and explore interactive, animated displays using mapping APIs or R Studio. The intent of this exploration is to recognize and display that safety is an intersectional issue.
