I am attempting to change the layout to facilitate easier comparison from year to year and clarify where the source data comes from. Here is a first cut.
Remember this applies only to TBS?s (not group homes and hospitals etc.)
So I am simple comparing a child?s safety at a TBS (24 hours per day) vs not being at a TBS (24 hours per day)
We have this data to present
:
July 1, 1999 thru June 2000
Outside a TBS: -----There where 2,140 Homicides and 1,928 suicides (NCES)
Inside a TBS --------There where 0 Homicides and 2 suicides.*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 1, 2000 thru June 2001
Outside a TBS: -----There where 2,059 Homicides and 1,890 suicides (NCES)
Inside a TBS --------There where 0 Homicides and 1 suicide. (Data set still open)*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 1, 2001 thru June 2002
Outside a TBS: -----There where 2,053 Homicides and 1,777 suicides (NCES)
Inside a TBS --------There where 0 Homicides and 0 suicides. (Dataset open and active)*
NCES ? National Center for Education Statistics
