Description
Silence the Violence intends to take a closer look at gun violence throughout the world. Is there a correlation between gun ownership and gun violence? While this is on the news, and people argue back and forth, unfortunately there are not a lot of statistics cited.
I built this project through the use of correlations of authentic international data. I have included content for either middle school (plotting and calculating) or high school (calculating correlation with summations).
The results are meaningful, the results are real and the data is possibly the same data policymakers review.
This is of course a passionate political issue and it is important to emphasize that correlation does not mean causation. Just because there are correlations here, there are other reasons for it. For instance, people who live around gun violence are more likely to purchase a gun to protect themselves (but raising the gun ownership statistics). Tread lightly. Despite what people think about gun control, universally people want to reduce violence.
