As the deadline of the report approaches, I’ve fully switched my focus over to writing it. One thing I wanted to try and include where statistical tests, mainly to compare the different groupings I made of the states for my gun law research.
- On the topic of gun laws, this week I’ve been looking into an interesting question: Does a lower proportion of crimes where the victims were armed with guns mean that the people who would’ve committed a crime didn’t or are they just commiting the crime but armed with something different? This was actually a question my mother asked when I talked about the data with her last weekend. I’ve been trying to answer it using the average frequency of police shootings for each gun law grouping.
