CJA 335 Week 4 Discussion Burglary Data Interpretation

Data itself is the information that you create through research.  What you determine that to mean is the interpretation and that is the real power in this whole process.  A single number doesn't mean much until you give it context.  

For instance, if I say my city had 12 burglaries this month, what does tell you?  Anything?

What about if I say it had 12 more than last month?  Tells you more, but not much.  

What if I say that assaults are up 50% this month..does that concern you?  50% can simply be going from 2 last month to 3 this month.  When you see this, it doesn't appear to be a big deal, right?
