Are bell curves important and useful in criminal justice research? How?
Yes they can be but only when put in the right prospective.
Yeah, they are. Those bell curves show what cases meet empirical research guidelines and those that don't. Have you taken an Applied Stats course in Criminal Justice Research yet? You ought to inquire about it!
Answer:
A bell curve uses the 'relative' approach. I guess traffic infractions are not as important when you are the number one murder capital of the country.
