In predicting the original crime categories, police station distance was the most important variable in all models. We also observe that property average is also one of the top four important variable in all models which is used in predicting the type of crime. Though our models performed relatively poorly, this may indicate that further study could prove useful in determining if police station location is a determinant of crime type. If so, this could help cities decide strategic placement of police stations in order to minimize certain types of crime.
