Encoding
Map Visualization
Each circle on the map encodes one police incident of vehicle crime.
The position of the circle on the map is encoding the latitude and
longitude of where this incident occured. The color of the circle is
encoding the incident type. Red is given to motor vehicle thefts
because it is the more extreme and costly crime, while orange is
given to larceny from vehicle because it is less extreme and usually
less costly.
Heatmap Visualization
This visualization is a heatmap which encodes the number of vehicle
crime reports to the San Francisco Police Department for each day of

used, and the darker orange a cell is, the more reports of vehicle
crime were made on that day and hour.
