Appendix G — Example reports and templates

These files provide examples to learn from and starting points for your own crime-mapping projects. You can view a finished report in your browser, or download its Quarto or R source file to see how the text and R code produce the report.

The completed scripts developed in the chapters are available in Appendix F, including the Medellín map report from Chapter 11.
