		By a statistical analysis of these crimes by varying social and economic factors by county I hoped to find patterns of behavior that related violent crime to demographic characteristics of the counties where the crimes were committed.
		In 1998 the average population of a high crime county was found to be 254,081 persons, compared to 42,842 in the low crime category.
		This could easily be inferred that minority groups are responsible for the higher crime rate in the high crime counties, especially when one considers that the rest of the characteristics that were studied (charts: Education attained, Median Household Income, and Age) revealed no major differences in the county groups.
