Fig. 2

Distribution of the number of crime incidents among communities. a Histogram of this distribution showing the number of areas within eight disjoint bins for the number of crime incidents, where range for bin b=0,1…,6,7 is [b∗1000,b∗1000+999]. The inset shows that the number of communities with ever growing number of incidents decays exponentially with an exponent of -0.668 in a Zipf’s Law type manner. b The number of crime incidents in community areas listed in the increasing order of the number of incidents that they experienced in year 2017. The inset shows that the number of incidents follows the Power Law with the exponent of 0.039, confirming findings in (Alves et al. 2013; Green et al. 2017)
