No chart for violent crime: fewer than 300 incidents in 12 months, too few to show a pattern by hour.

Each line is an average day of that kind, as a multiple of the average hour of the week (dashed line), smoothed over three hours. Days run from 6 am to 6 am, so a Friday night stays on Friday. Times are when the incident happened, as recorded by Detroit Police Department; 2% of incidents have no usable time (many unknown times are recorded as midnight or noon) and are left out.
