Disentangling pandemic from George Floyd’s murder as the cause of the crime increase in Minneapolis

These files contain analytical code and data in my attempt to disentangle the COVID-19 pandemic from the murder of George Floyd as a way to explain the rise in crime - most notably violent crime - in 2020. All original data sources are linked to in the RMarkdown file.

NOTE: this is a working file. I recognise the contentiousness of this area and will do my best to incorporate meaningful feedback regarding the appropriateness of my methods, language, and conclusions.
