To complete this exercise, you will be required to use official data for 2020 on offenses reported to the police, and select arrest data, on a national, state, and local (e.g., Baltimore City) level. You will summarize the data using a combination of graphs and narratives to explain the similarities and differences across the three jurisdictions (national, state, local).
Please refer to the attached handout to find detailed instructions on where to find the specific data, how to present the information in graph form, and how to summarize the data in narrative form.
You are required to also present the graphs in Microsoft PowerPoint tutorial attached below by editing and filling in the data from the worksheet .
