Research methodology and tools used for data acquisition: Logged criminal incidents filed by police officers or by the general public using the city's online reporting system. The datasets were preprocessed to remove incomplete entries and spatial outliers, such as records falling outside defined city boundaries. For benchmarking purposes, the data was standardized and aggregated into H3 hexagonal grids of varying resolutions using the SRAI library to establish unified training and testing splits.

Data format and structure: Over 600,000 reported criminal incidents. Each entry contains the date, time, and type of crime.
