This stacked bar chart shows the number of NYPD civilian complaints by officer age, with colors distinguishing complaint types via a legend. Built with the vega-lite-api and d3.v5, it loads a CSV of over 12,000 complaints from ProPublica. The visualization uses `vl.markBar()` with x-position for age, y-count for totals, and color encoding for complaint type, rendered through vega-lite’s SVG output.

AI-generated description

A visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.

The stacked bar chart above depicts the number of complaints based on officer age. The different colors indicate what type of complaint was made (refer to legend on right of chart).

This is based on a database of more than 12,000 complaints filed by civilians against NYC police officers. The data is available on ProPublica. The original data source is the New York City's Civilian Complaint Review Board. Each row of the data contains one complaint filed. Each complaint includes (but is not limited to) the following: officer first and last name, officer age, officer rank at time of incident, officer current rank, date of incident, and ethnicity of officer. The data contains similar information for each complainant, as well as a description of the offense and whether the complaint was substantiated.

Data is ported from NYPD Complaints dataset.
