brcrimR

Brazillian security offices maintain several sources of criminal information. Very often, those sources are not user friendly and don't give an explict way to build historical databases.

This packages provides a tidy and (almost) unified framework for accessing those informations.

Basic usage

Today, this package scrapes information only in São Paulo. As an example, we can obtain crime statistics for the county of São Paulo using

brcrimR::get_summarized_table_sp(year = '2017', city = '0')

São Paulo's Security Office also disponibilize detailed information on the crime reports that originated the table above. One can obtain such information using

brcrimR::get_detailed_table_sp(folder = 'btnHomicicio',
#this is not a typo
year = '2017', month = '1', department = '0')
