A) Brainstorming
 * __Stage One__**

__Depression Rates vs. Divorce Rates__

Is there a correlation between the divorce rates of parents and the depression rates of people? __Depression__ - genders - teenagers - location __Divorce Rates__ - the amount of children they had - length of marriage - income

__Crime Rates vs. Economy__ Is there a correlation between the crime rates in cities and the economy at the time? __Crime Rates__ - level of crime/ types of crimes - sentencing __Economy__ - situation of stock market - income of individuals - job loses - level of economy (is it booming)

__Question:__ Is there a correlation between the crime rates in cities(dependent) and the economy (independent) at the time?

__Hypothesis:__ I think that there will be a correlation between the economy and crime rates. I think when the economy drops the crime rates will raise and vice-versa, because of job loses and income.

= __**Economy 2008 **__ =

= = GDP - is a basic measure of a country's overall economic performance. It is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year
 * __Definitions__**

Capital Consumption - s the percentage of the [|Gross Domestic Product] (GDP) which is due to [|depreciation]. The Capital Consumption Allowance measures the amount of expenditure that a country needs to undertake in order to maintain, as opposed to grow, its [|productivity]. The CCA can be thought of as representing the wear-and-tear on the country's [|physical capital], together with the investment needed to maintain the level of [|human capital] (eg to educate the workers needed to replace retirees).


 * __Sampling Technique__**

They did not use a sampling technique because they probably asked every community and city to find all the statistics.


 * __Sampling Bias__**

There shouldn't be a sampling bias in the above charts and graphs because they came from legitimate sites that were made by the government, they also have the resources to know all the statistics for the graphs.

__Conclusion__
There is no correlation between the crime rate and the economy
