Exploring FBI Crime Statistics with Glue and plotly by Chris Beaumont.

From the post:

Glue is a project I’ve been working on to interactively visualize multidimensional datasets in Python. The goal of Glue is to make trivially easy to identify features and trends in data, to inform followup analysis.

This notebook shows an example of using Glue to explore crime statistics collected by the FBI (see this notebook for the scraping code). Because Glue is an interactive tool, I’ve included a screencast showing the analysis in action. All of the plots in this notebook were made with Glue, and then exported to plotly (see the bottom of this page for details).
….

FBI crime statistics are used for demonstration purposes but Glue should be generally useful for exploring multidimensional datasets.

It isn’t possible to tell how “clean” or “consistent” the FBI reported crime data may or may not be. And as the FBI itself points out, comparison between locales is fraught with peril.
