The CDCP’s mortality
Use the CDCP’s mortality data to analyze the causes of death in Oregon for the given year. Make sure that you provide a comparison to other states and/or the national data (i.e., total deaths). When you are done with the analyses write a brief response that summarizes your findings for a professional audience. Your answer is worth 5 points (1 for spelling & grammar, 2 for writing quality, 2 for data analyses and accuracy). 52. Use the crime and officer data to compare Portland to another city in the list (a city other than Seattle). Which city has the most crime, the highest crime rate? Which city had the fewest officers, the lowest number of officers per 1,000 residents? When you complete your analyses write a brief response that summarizes your findings for a major business that is looking to relocate their headquarters to one of the cities. Your answer is worth 5 points (1 for spelling & grammar, 2 for writing quality, 2 for data analyses and accuracy). 80. Criminal justice employees and other government officials are often tasked with reducing crime in their city. Because funding for such efforts are usually quite limited, they often need to focus their efforts on a single geographic location. Crime counts and crime rates are both helpful in this regard, because you will probably get a better “bang for your buck” in areas that are high for each. Your job in this final essay is to use the data presented in the file detailed above to identify a single Portland neighborhood that you believe should be targeted for intervention. Use just the data provided, not other information you find or stuff you already know about Portland’s neighborhoods. To earn full credit your response should provide strong empirical/numerical backing for your chosen neighborhood. Your answer is worth 5 points (1 for spelling & grammar, 2 for writing quality, 2 for data analyses and accuracy).
