I've just finished making a spreadsheet comparing the new 04-05 violent crime statistics (http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/05cius/data/table_04.html) with Brady's state letter grades for 2005. TFL won't let me upload an excel file, so you'll have to email me for the full version.
Here's a summary though:
View attachment 20978
On "Rate vs. National", 1.0 means roughly equal crime to the national average. 2.0 means about twice as much crime. Etc.
On "Change vs. National", 0.0 means the 2004-2005 change in rate was comprable to the National average. 1.0 would mean an increase 1% higher than average, -1.0 is 1% less than average... Pretty simple.
By the way, all numbers are rounded to the nearest tenth.
Cheers,
Wolfe.
