2024 ACT Data & WA Data fix
This is a quick update to highlight that 2024 ACT Data was added to the website. We also discovered that there was an issue with our WA data due to a bug in data extraction process, which resulted in ~90,000 crimes missing from our database. WA police change their way of reporting this year, and we had to go through a semi-manual extraction process. Manual data extraction always prone for errors, and this is what we had. We were able to create a fully automated data extraction process, and get all data correctly.
Thanks for using Red Suburbs!
