                                         Synopsis of the Investigation
        The 1992 Los Angeles riots was sparked on April 29, 1992 when a mostly white jury acquitted four police officers accused in
the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King, after he fled from police. Thousands of people in Los Angeles joined in what
has often been characterized as a race riot, or a mini-civil war, involving acts of law-breaking compounded by existing racial tensions,
including looting, arson and murder. In summary;

              53 people died during the riots
              4 thousand injured
              12,000 people arrested
              1,100 buildings destroyed
              $1.4 billion in property damage

                                                   About this Report
       This report seeks to analyze the time, movement, behavior, target and offenders involved in the L.A. Riots. By utilizing
Microsoft Excel, Google Earth, i2 Analyst Notebook 8.5 and other tools, the analyst will report key facts and analytical findings from
the provided dataset, which can be viewed at the end of this report.

        The raw data from the police reports was first categorized into columns in Microsoft Excel. After organizing the data, the
analyst went about creating pivot charts in Excel. After analyzing the data in Excel, the data was imported into Google Earth to
analyze the spatial movement of the crimes. Next, the analyst imported the geo data into geocommons to analyze any patterns in the
occurrences of the crimes.

       Lastly, the refined data was imported into i2 Analyst Notebook 8.5. The data was laid out into theme lines. All of the event
frames in i2 were given controlling times. The data was then analyzed with the heat matrix feature from i2. Most of the analytical
findings were made using the heat matrix feature in i2 Analyst Notebook 8.5.

  by law enforcement and the National Guard. Not including the
unknown offenders (n/a), 62% of the killings were justified killings
 made by law and military officials. 19% of the identified suspects
                       are African American.

                                                    Mapping the L.A. Riots


         The 53 deaths in the L.A. Riot took place over 13 different cities. However, 70% of the crimes took place in downtown L.A.
The following maps in the report are plotted with the locations of the crime. The maps are then layered with demographic date from
the 1990 census. Race and poverty layers were layered into Google Earth to analyze the locations of the deaths in correlation with
patterns from the layers. The tolls used for analyzing the geo data are Google Earth, Geocommons and Social Explorer. The legends
for all the maps are below. The circles are the location of the crime. The color of the circle dictates what day the crime happened.

              Map: African American Population Layer vs. African American Deaths
The circles on this map are only those that are African Americans. This layer shows African American population
density in the city of Los Angeles in 1990. As the map demonstrates, almost all African Americans died in their own
demographic area.
Analytical Finding: Most all African Americans died within their own demographic area.

                   Map: Hispanic Population Layer vs. African American Deaths
The circles on this map are only those that are African Americans. However, this layer shows African American
deaths that occurred in close proximity with a heavy Hispanic population

Analytical Finding: The close proximity within the African American population and the Hispanic population
                         may have led to the high casualty rate between both races.

                                   Map: Hispanic Population Layer vs. Hispanic Deaths
The circles on this map are only those that are Hispanics. This layer shows Hispanic population density in the city of Los Angeles in
1990. However, the Hispanic deaths did not occur in their predominant demographic area.

Analytical Finding: Most of the Hispanic deaths were not a result from violence in the Hispanic neighborhood. Most Hispanics
  were dying in the predominantly African American demographic areas, or the border between the African American and
    Hispanic populations. Hispanics deaths are due to violence stemming from the African American demographic areas.

The circles on this map are all deaths during the L.A. Riot. This map demonstrates that most of the deaths occurred in
impoverished areas.

Analytical Finding: Those that live in the lower demographic areas/ lower class were more likely to riot that the more
wealthy.

                                       Mapping the L.A. Riots with Geocommons


       Geocommons is a mapping tool that can visualize data from an excel spreadsheet. The locations of the 53 victims were
imported into geocommons to analyze the order in which the deaths occurred. There is no clear order or pattern in which the deaths
occurred. However, most of the deaths occurred in the downtown L.A. region.

       Type in the link below to view the occurrence in which the 53 deaths occurred.

        The following theme lines and event frames were automatically imported from an excel spreadsheet utilizing i2 Analyst
Notebook 8.5. On the top of the event frames there is a time bar. The black arrow on the time bar shows the date and time that the
incident in the event frame occurred. A blue arrow would indicate that two or more events occurred at that certain time. To read the
event frames in correct chronological order, follow the event frames across the page on to the next one, and then restart at the bottom
of the previous page.

                                                    Heat Analysis of L.A. Riot Victims



        The heat matrix is a new feature in i2 Analyst Notebook 8.5 that allows the analysts to visually depict data on a spreadsheet. In
addition, the analyst can play their link chart like a movie to analyze patterns in a certain sequence of events. The heat matrix charts
provided in this report analyze race, MOS, age, hour and day of the week. The x-axis on all of the heat matrix charts in this report
contain only date and time. The y-axis is the only data set that changes from chart to chart. Note: All of the bar graphs in the charts
are in two hour intervals.




                                                                                                                               X-axis

                       Heat Matrix Analysis: L.A. Riot broken down into 2-hour intervals
           This heat matrix chart analyzes the most violent hours over a five day span of the L.A. Riot. As demonstrated by this chart,
the three most violent hours of the L.A. Riot are listed as follows. Note: the three red bars in the bar graph are the violent hours.

      2000 – 2200 hours, Thursday 4/29/1992
      0000 – 0200 hours, Thursday 4/30/1992
       1800 – 2000 hours, Thursday 4/30/1992

              This heat matrix demonstrates the same finding as the previous heat matrix chart. The three most violent hours of the
L.A. Riots were;

      2000 – 2200 hours, Thursday 4/29/1992
      0000 – 0200 hours, Thursday 4/30/1992
      1800 – 2000 hours, Thursday 4/30/1992

                                Heat Matrix Analysis: L.A. Riot broken down by race
              This heat matrix demonstrates which races were killed during the entire span of the L.A. Riot. This chart visually
demonstrates that;

      African Americans took the major onslaught of the riot in the very beginning, ranging from 0800 hours, Thursday 4/30/1992 –
       0000 hours, Friday 5/1/1992

               This heat matrix demonstrates the same information as the previous heat matrix. However, instead of the data being
filtered by two hour intervals, it is filtered by day. Again, this heat matrix visually demonstrates that African Americans took the
major onslaught of the riot on Thursday 4/30/1992.

      Most African Americans, Hispanics and Caucasians died on Thursday 4/30/1992
