Even though your contribution was Indy specific, I cannot help but think this is another ripple in a long line of waves that affect us all. <br /><br />Thank you.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-39587455714138171242011-11-27T12:18:16.925-05:002011-11-27T12:18:16.925-05:00Good on yah!

Looks like the used the burglary numbers for the robbery figure; it happens, most people don't know which is which.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-3529993830180707222011-11-27T10:21:51.620-05:002011-11-27T10:21:51.620-05:00Congratulations!

I can take the inverse of these fractions to get minutes-between-events. The results for minutes-between-rape and minutes-between-violent-crime are within a rounding error of the numbers given on the flier.<br /><br />But the robbery number given produces one robbery about every 85 minutes. <br /><br />(Sanity check: the number of robberies is more than 25% the number of violent crimes, but less than 33%. Thus, the occurs-every-so-many-minutes number for robbery should be between 3 and 4 times higher the number for violent crime. The number on the flier is much too small for minutes-between-robbery, and the value I got is in the right range.)karrdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205160745963596856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-16678717601150948912011-11-27T10:01:32.073-05:002011-11-27T10:01:32.073-05:00Way to go Bobbi!
