Measuring crimes by weekday and by year simultaneously necessitate the functionality to pull this information directly from a Timestamp. Thankfully, this functionality is built into any column consisting of Timestamps with the dt accessor.
Measuring crime by weekday and year
Getting ready
In this recipe, we will use the dt accessor to provide us with both the weekday name and year of each crime as a Series. We count all of the crimes by forming groups using both of these Series. Finally, we adjust the data to consider partial years and population before creating a heatmap of the total amount of crime.
