This interactive scatterplot displays reported crime cases against women in India across different states from 2001 to 2012, with the year on the x-axis and total cases on the y-axis. A dropdown menu allows viewers to switch between six crime categories, including rape, kidnapping, and dowry deaths, using D3’s event dispatch system. The visualization uses d3.scaleLinear for both axes and d3.axisLeft/axisBottom for tick marks, with animated transitions (d3.transition) that grow circles and smoothly update positions when the selected metric changes. Data comes from a CSV file loaded via d3.csv.
