 ==Conclusion==
-Conclusively this tutorial highlights that QGIS was a powerful open source GIS software for analyzing the crime trends in Ottawa from 2005 to 2013. There are many other different crimes to analyze from, only limited number of crimes were highlighted in this tutorial. The QGIS software can be downloaded from the website highlighted above and the crime data can be downloaded from the MacOdrum Library website mentioned above for further analysis.

-After observing all three maps, there was a significant decrease in break ins from the years 2010-2016 throughout the whole city. Maps like these can support programs that aim to decrease different types of crimes by placing police officers in problem streets late at night, for example.

-Quick Analysis: The number of impaired driving occurrences in suburbs (Kanata, Cumberland) from 2005 to 2010 has become lower. However the number of impaired driving occurrences in east end from 2010 to 2013 has become significantly higher, and the number of impaired driving occurrences increased dramatically in College ward in from 2005 and 2010 to 2013.
