Fun with ACC Jail Data

Yes, you too can have fun with jail data. I looked at arrests over the last seven days, via this site, and dumped it into a spreadsheet. Why? Because I should be grading, but this is more fun (if you are liberal in exactly how you define fun).

So what's the data tell us? There were 11 Hispanics, 97 whites and 122 blacks arrested. What's fun is to break down some of the charges by race. See the table below for the UGA-effect on the ACC jail. Underage possession, open container, fake ID -- those wacky college kids -- are all white. Battery, improper driving, criminal trespass are less so.

	Black	Hispanic	White
Underage Possession	0	0	12
Open Container	0	0	3
Possession False ID	0	0	4
Simple Battery	8	0	1
Improper Driving	4	1	1
Criminal Trespass	11	0	3

Is there some deeper meaning to the data above? None at all, other than college kids getting arrested for booze.
