Abstract

This paper presents an interactive graphic visualization system for analyzing criminal data in the State of Rio de Janeiro, provided by the Public Safety Institute of Rio de Janeiro. The system comprises a set of integrated tools for visualizing and analyzing statistical data on crimes, which makes it possible to extract and infer relevant information regarding government policies on public safety and their effects. The tools allow us to visualize multidimensional data, spatiotemporal data, and multivariate data in an integrated manner using brushing and linking techniques. The paper also presents a case study to evaluate the set of tools we developed.
