Data on municipal crime, preferably at a reasonably disaggregated level (best would be exact date, location and type but per day per street or post/zip code would be acceptable)

Comments

The website of Medata is much more “user friendly” and it seems to be more up to date than the Open Data Medellín. For example with “Theft by Terrestrial Piracy”, we have a lot of information on robberies from 2003 on and it is monthly updated. There is also “Apprehension”, “Kidnapping”, “Homicides” and Incidents Security since 2013. They are all updated monthly. The CSV files are easy to read and they have information in what each variable means. The main problem remains the "bulk" question, it is not possible to access data on "crime statistics" in general, it has to be through each type of violent act.
