Crime in LA
We are investigating potential biases and external factors in how crime data is collected, focusing on the relationship between sex and crime. In particular, we analyze the dataset’s crime intensity ranking—where lower numbers indicate more violent crimes—and the gender of the victims to question the validity of this categorization system.
What does this data tell us about the relationship between sex and frequency/intensity of criminal activity? We began with a the hypothesis that the portion of crimes committed against women will involve more frequent and violent crimes.
Bias and Equity: Student Performance Dataset
This project analyzes how the Student Performance Dataset, constructed of high school students' personal information and GPA based variables, is displayed as numerical values.
