Details
More details of the data format are available on the Crime Open Database website. Variables marked * are only available for some of the data, due to limitations in the data published by some cities.
The variables in this dataset mirror those obtained by calling
get_crime_data(type = "core"), except that some fields have been
removed because they are redundant (e.g. if they have the same value for all
rows in this dataset).
