Defining "police took action"
Should any additional resolution descriptions be included in my definition of "police took action" for 311 complaints?
code/03_clean.R
is where the defining takes place. First, I filter the data to only include complaints regarding "Social Distancing" which have "Closed" status and aren't missing longitude or latitude.
Right now, I define "police took action" if the resolution description says one of the following:
TOOK_ACTION = c(
"The Police Department responded to the complaint and took action to fix the condition.",
"The Police Department made an arrest in response to the complaint.",
"The Police Department issued a summons in response to the complaint.")
Here's the frequency of each resolution description among complaints meeting the filter criteria mentioned above (using data downloaded on 2020-05-07 at 12:24pm):
