In
this graph the data that it is measuring is the Anti-Islamic Hate Crime
Incidents that happen in 1995-2008.From the year 1995-2000 they have been
pretty low , have not gone higher than 32. There looks to be a pattern that
it would jump from 29 to 27 then would go =to 28 then a little high to 32 then
drop again. But in 2001 there was an
outrageous amount of incidents that added up to be 481 just that year. And as
the year went on from 2002-2008 they still remained as high but not as high as
481 they ended up staying 156 being high and 105 being the lowest there is also
a little pattern that is between those years. The data is somewhat important because
it is letting us know that amount of Anti-Islamic Hate Crime Incidents that
happen from year 1995-2008, and is showing us the amount of incidents that
happen each year. You can also see the differences between the years as well. I
think the purpose of this graph was to show not only the hate crime incidents
but to show how they started off pretty low and out of nowhere they were sky
high then shot right back down not drastically but a pretty good amount to
where it was previously.
