Conceptual Guidance

Crime events are classified by both the crime_category and judicial_status:
  • Use severity to indicate impact level (Minor → Critical)
  • Track progression through the justice system via judicial_status
  • Homicide vs Mass Casualty Attack: Individual/small group killings vs large-scale attacks
The law_enforcement_involved flag indicates whether authorities are actively engaged in the case. ← Back to Taxonomy Overview
