Hate crime progression within the United States

Analysis

Instructions

What I envision for this assignment is a Two page paper that summarizes

the data in your analysis. An analysis section first provides a summary of data and

then interprets findings. Right now I am concerned with you summarizing your

data and presenting two visualizations. I present an example of a write up on the

following page.

Things that you should be thinking about at this point are: What

comparisons are meaningful? What is the best form of visualization? What are the

important points of interest? Ideally, you will have both the independent and

dependent variable in one visualization.

Please use 12pt font, times new roman style, double spaced. Please do

not take up space with things such as the date, the name of the class, etc. All I need

is your name at the top of the page. You can turn it in via a turnitin link that I will

post friday as a file with the extension .doc (old MS Word file) or .docx (new MS

Word file).

This assignment should be completed by Friday, February 26th , by

midnight.

Example of a Line Chart with one variable

Below in Line Chart 1, I present a comparison of three crimes. The

comparisons are of ?????????? Additionally, the trend is over the years ?????? Each

point, section, bar represents a rate/actual incident/etc-

This basically covers the intro to the chart-basically explain to the reader what they are looking at.

Chart XX

Then point out what is interesting

Above in Chart 1, analysis shows that of serious crimes, rape and assault

account for the majority of serious crimes. Murder and non-negligent manslaughter

are rare at…..(put in some specific numbers) MNM is very stable over the years at…..

(put in some specific numbers) Rape is up a little from X to Y. Assault dropped the

most of the three serious crimes from Z to P-but use really data points like from 85K

to 97K and so for and so on.

Basically this is all “you” and what you think are interesting aspects of the

comparisons in the visualizations.

Example of a Bar Chart with an independent and Dependent variable The bar chart below evaluates the hypothesis that higher unemployment rates are correlated with higher murder rates. The rates are correlated by the 9 census defined regions and sub-regions. The blue bars represent murder rates and the red bars represent unemployment rates.

It appears from this bar charts that a correlation is a weak relationship

between unemployment rates and murder rates. Specifically, the data for E. North

Central sticks out in that………etc.
