- “…however, because of computer problems, changes in records management systems, personnel shortages, or a number of other reasons, some agencies cannot provide data for publication.” Is there some sort of way for the FBI to estimate what kind of data is missing for these aforementioned reasons? How greatly does this affect the statistics of the data set?
- Maybe I missed this detail on the website somewhere, but is the data that is reported only given if the offense is taken to court and put on a trial?

Rachael – Please do me a favor and put your name on the assignment so I can quickly figure out who is writing what. I asked this before.
Great question about what exactly is missing from this dataset.
The data is on arrests. Thanks
So sorry about the name issue. I was thinking you meant for us to edit our user name settings to show our name with the assignment, not the title specifically. I edited my previous assignments to show my name and will continue do that in the future. Thanks!
