Mapping Violent Events using Python: Mapping ALD's H.E.A.T. Data
This tutorial takes raw data from Anti-Defamation League (ADL)'s H.E.A.T. (Hate, Extremism, Antisemitism, Terrorism) database, which contains various incidents of hate, extremism, antisemitism and terrorism. These incidents are geo-coded to locality level. What we will do is (i) filter a subset of incidents from the database, (ii) convert localities into coordinates (longitude, latitude), (iii) map them using different techniques, and (iv) produce a heatmap, and (v) a couple of static maps.
