Title: Correlations and Hypotheses
I started looking closely at the data and trying to find connections between different things. Using numbers and stats I came up with some initial ideas about how certain factors, like signs of mental illness, threat level, and whether someone tried to run away, might affect what happens during police interactions. These early ideas are like a pathway for us to do more detailed analyses in the next few weeks.
It is like we are building a roadmap to understand the complicated relationships between different aspects of these situations. As we uncover more connections and patterns it helps us piece together a better picture of what might be going on in police encounters. It is all about exploring and making sense of the data to find out more about the factors that play a role in how these situations unfold.
