Even more interesting is the Top Gatorchatter Ad clickthroughs by poster. I didn't even know you ran ads on some of these sites:

I love this kind of stuff. Thanks for posting.

Is it safe to assume the top line graphs would be congruent if they were connect end to end?

What all that data tells me is there are a lot of middle aged men with very boring lives.

These are the most dangerous states in America:
The FBI data is now worthless. They shouldn't even bother to collect it.

I was living in Arizona at the time the big change happened (around 2007 or so). Tucson was tired of being the carjacking and theft capital, and they stopped even TAKING reports of theft. They had long before stopped responding to calls of thefts (and most other crimes that weren't in progress). They decided to mail complainants a long 30 page report and if they report didn't come back fully filled out, Tucson PD wouldn't bother to stat the crime. They miraculously had a huge decrease in property crime. It spread like wildfire and all the lefty cities started copying it for thefts and violent crime.

The data now tells you more about who actually keeps track of violent crime or property crime stats than anything else.

I'm sure having the app is a big contributor to the increase in phone and tablet use. Great addition.

I think the numbers show that you've created a successful site, Ox. Well done.

It's even more complex than that.

I have a lot of friends that are officers and we have had conversations about the crime stats. When the chief wants to increase the budget they need more crime to justify the increase. Officers are told it is in their best interest for stats to go up. All of a sudden a perp that would have gotten a single charge is creatively charged with multiple offenses and the stats rise. If the chief is getting heat for too much crime or an election is rolling around then officers are encouraged to find a single charge instead of multiple charges and the stats go down.

Many police forces manipulate the stats to meet local politics.

Very similar to aircraft readiness reporting back in the day.
