Social Media platforms (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, etc.) are used heavily by public to provide news, opinions, and reactions towards events or topics. Integrating such data with the event or topic factual data could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying event or topic. Targeting this, we present our visual analytics tool, called VC-FaT, that integrates peoples' tweet data regarding crimes in San Francisco city with the city factual crime data. VC-FaT provides a number of interactive visualizations using both data sources for better understanding and exploration of crime activities happened in the city during a period of five years.
