ANALYSIS & INTERPRETATION <br />- ' OF DATA- 2002 <br /> <br /> Without the financial ability to research the socio - economic climate of <br />- Paris, Texas, it would be almost impossible to determine what, if <br /> anything, this data collected represents. It is my belief that if such <br />_ studies were funded, that the information gathered would show that it <br /> would be those two factors which would have more impact on what is <br /> happening, criminally speaking, than the gathered raw data from law <br />- enforcement activities. While this statistical information may help, I <br /> believe that it will take time over the next few years to see if this data is <br />_ similar each year or will be dynamic in nature. However, that being <br /> said, this exercise was enlightening in bringing forth documented <br /> information which can be looked at in comparison with future years to <br />- begin a study to see if there is a wide - spread problem involving racial <br /> profiling in the State of Texas, or not. <br /> <br />- What would be most helpful in assisting in this process would be a <br /> financially sponsored study wherein the demographics of cities could be <br />- researched in relationship to its criminal activities. Therein might lay <br /> the answer that might benefit not only law enforcement, but society as a <br /> whole. <br /> <br /> <br />
