I found a website that shows crime rates and statistics of South Carolina from 1960-2010. Some of the numbers displayed are pretty shocking. But remembering what we talked about in class about misleading statistics I decided to check to see what could possibly skew the results.
Although the crime rates for almost every type of crime show pretty significant growth throughout those 50 years, the reader must remember and look at how the population of South Carolina has grown by a million. The more people around the more crimes that will take place.
