I think your hypothesis that "attempted murder" could have been coded as murder makes sense. What are the codes? Could someone fat finger the mistake? Could someone have misremembered the correct code for murder, maybe because they use it so rarely? Or, worse, could someone have written a cheat sheet (taped to their monitor maybe) with t…
I think your hypothesis that "attempted murder" could have been coded as murder makes sense. What are the codes? Could someone fat finger the mistake? Could someone have misremembered the correct code for murder, maybe because they use it so rarely? Or, worse, could someone have written a cheat sheet (taped to their monitor maybe) with the wrong code on it?
These kinds of coding errors happen in lots of contexts where complex systems have been set up to capture fine-grained data (Medical records come to mind in this context).

Thanks for working on this.
