Science Fair Proposal

1. If a city in Los Angeles County has a lower average household income than others, then their crime rates will be higher.
2.Control: cities of los angeles county Dependent: Crime rates Independent: Household income
3. My senior project eq deals with the skills you need as a criminal investigator, and I feel an important skill would be to know the surroundings of where you are working. My science experiment will highlight each city that i may work in someday.
4.

  1. At first i plan on finding the cities in LA county
  2. For each city find out their average income
  3. I haven't decided if I am going to focus on a type of crime, so for now I will get the overall reported crimes and crime rates for each city
  4. create data tables and charts comparing the cities and income
  5. From here I dont really know where to go, i guess i would have my answer but it does not seem rigorous enough to last me months
I will be using:
  • Computer
  • Calculator
  • Fbi and lapd reported crimes websites and tables
5. Behavioral Science...I was wondering if it would be mathematics and computer science though because all I am doing is statistics?
