I think a positive aspect of the data set is the variety of the groups and types of hate crimes they are able to collect and list. I think that showing a greater scope of groups that are targeted sheds light into those least publicized groups struggles, as opposed to just the top 4-5. A negative aspect about this dataset is how it is organized. I think it is a lot, with a lot going on. There are a lot of areas with 0s in certain cases that it is hard to sort out. However, I cannot think of a way to split it to give the most information with the least datasets other than how they have it now. Hypothetically I would like to take the 5 lowest report rates on hate crimes and see where it is happening the most. The other path I would like to see is the top 5 highest reports of offense and put them on a dot or line graph to see if it has increased or decreased over time.
