Finding Information on Policy Issues Chapter 5 discusses a number of ways in which to find reliable information on a variety of policy issues. In this exercise, you will use two statistical sites to evaluate policy issues.?Go to the U.S. Census websitehttps://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/community_facts.xhtml, which offers state-level statistics on a range of topics (enter in a state of your choice in the search box). First, study the state’s demographic characteristics. What percentage of the population is older than 65? What percentage has a bachelor’s degree or higher? What is the personal income per capita??Go to the FBI website https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s and look at crime statistics by state (choose the most recent year). Look at the same state you used on the Census website. What is the trend relative to different types of crime in the selected state??Choose a different state and repeat the review described above. Compare the two states you selected based on the information you found. What issues appear to be particularly relevant for each of these states? What policy options would you suggest to help with these issues?
