New York City data details arrests by peace officers at Benefits Access and SNAP Centers. The dataset is disaggregated by arrest location, offense charged, and type of arrest processing. It is published by the City of New York and was last updated in April 2026.
Use Cases
- Analyze correlations between specific `arrest_location` and the `offense_charged`.
- Model the likelihood of a `desk_appearance_ticket` versus a `live_arrest` based on the offense category.
- Map arrest frequency by `location` to assess spatial patterns in enforcement at benefits centers.
Strengths
- Data is disaggregated by three key dimensions: location, offense, and arrest type.
- Managed and published by the authoritative City of New York government.
Limitations
