# πŸ“Š Crime Data Analysis for Self-Defense Tool Market Entry in the EU

## πŸ“Œ Project Overview
A self-defense tools company is considering expanding into the European Union (EU). This project analyzes crime trends in five of the largest EU economiesβ€”**Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands**β€”focusing on **Intentional Homicide, Sexual Violence, and Theft** between **2019 and 2022**. Using data from Eurostat, SQLite for processing, and Tableau for visualization, this study identifies high-risk regions and provides recommendations on **which countries to target and what self-defense products to export**.
