[R] FBI Homicide data?

[spencerg]

Hi, Mario: 


      The following suggest to me that these data may not be available 
in any contributed R package: 


library(RSiteSearch)
fbi <- RSiteSearch.function('FBI Homicide')
hits(fbi) # 0
hom <- RSiteSearch.function('Homicide')
hits(hom) # 4
HTML(hom)


      The 4 items exposed via the last line here seemed to be different 
data sets from the one you described.  This searched all the help pages 
for contributed packages.  I also searched for "FBI" with comparable 
results.  If it exists in a contributed package, it is not easy to find. 


      Have you tried writing to someone at the Institute for 
Visualization and Perception Research at U Mass-Lowell? 


      Hope this helps. 
      Spencer
