Criminal Justice Bar and Pie Graph Discussion

1.) Locate the descriptions and different pie charts/bar graphs on p. 279-280 of the book. Preview each of these items and then briefly tell us which of these graphics you find easier to read and why. Within your discussion, interpret (describe) one of the numbers shown on the chart/graph. This means, explain what that number means in relation to that graph. For example, if the number shown is 23%, then you state, “According to the graph, 23% of the crime committed in the year 2015 took place in the victims home.” Again, tell us which graphic you find easier to read and understand, and then provide us with a statistic from that graphic.
2.) Go to the google search engine and locate a picture of a pie chart or bar graph that showing anything to do with crime or criminal justice. You will then describe that chart/graph to the class.
a. First, click on the IMAGES tab in the google search bar. That way, you only get images and not full articles.
b. Type in a specific type of crime or CJ related item (e.g. prisons, court, etc.)
c. Either COPY and PASTE that graph/chart directly into your discussion post, or FILE then SAVE AS the picture and upload it into your post.
d. Lastly, Describe/INTERPRET at least FOUR (4) different items on your particular graph. You can describe anything you would like, but the information must pertain to the graph.
