Please describe mapping steps between statutes --> violent, property, drug buckets

[fgregg]

Hi guys,

Thanks for all of this awesome work. Could you help me understand how you go from statute to the violent, property, and drug crime buckets.

In particular, how do you handle cases where a statute maps onto multiple IUCR codes.

For example, why isn't armed robbery counted as a violent crime? (IUCR 0310)

Why isn't residential burglary a property crime (IUCR 0625)

If I recall, these categories are based on a list of IUCR codes that Tracy
gave us. Also, at some point we were looking at categories of index crímes,
which don't include every type of crime, so perhaps your examples reflect
the index crime categories?
