Playing around with this hate crimes dataset was really fun and interesting to study. I really liked how the dataset covered a wide variety of crimes and provided lots of entries to analyze and work from. I think it is very important to highlight which hate crimes are happening in what areas because more research can be done about why the crimes are high in this area (for example, more research can be done about the spike in hate crimes against Jews in 2012). However, because the data set is so large, it can get a bit overwhelming and lots of refining has to be done. As a beginner with data and a newbie to R, this data set and homework assignment was a lot to digest and I had to look over the code multiple times to understand what was being done. Two different paths I would like to study about this data set is demographics of the counties with the highest number of hate crimes, as well as a visualization of which hate crime was the most highest per year. A recent movement called Stop Asian Hate began as a result of hate crimes against Asians due to COVID stigma and I have seen a lot of recent articles about Asians being senselessly murdered in NYC. Many are being advised to be aware of their surroundings and go to the extent of putting their back against the walls while waiting for the subway. I think as times change and the world is dealing with different issues, it would be interesting to see which groups are being targeted the most and what the areas that are the most violent like in terms of demographics. Two things I would do to follow up after seeing the output from the hate crimes tutorial is practice the code used for this data set with the other data sets provided in the folder you gave, and I would play around with the code to research into the paths I was interested in taking. To me, analyzing data is all about answering questions and coming up with a story line. Why did the anti-sentiment hate crimes spike in 2012? What was the current news like at that time? When did those hate crimes start to reduce, and who was being targeted next, and why?
