Exploring FBI's new data on law enforcement employees.
I should add I always get a little antsy when taking the average of something with a distribution far from normal.
From the table it looks like big changes in a few departments dominate, while for many departments the changes are in the noise (< 1%). It would be interesting to look to see what is different in the outliers.
It would be interesting to know who left. Were they the "bad apples?" I'd applaud ridding police forces of white supremacists and pals of Proud Boys.
Hi Jeff: Can I use your chart and some of your narrative for a post on my website, https://crimeinamerica.net. I will use your URL. Thanks, Len.
Of course!
