Use the information from the hypothetical scenario, and the data table, to make a recommendation to the Governor of Arizona on whether the state should spend the money to build more prisons. Use the data, and patterns of data, to support your response. Look at the data in both the “total crime” categories and the “crime rate” categories. Use the “Helpful Thinking Questions” below to help guide your response.
Make sure you analyze and discuss the data in your response using these questions. These are critical thinking skills that you need to have in the workplace, especially with regard to criminal justice.
Helpful Thinking Questions

* Has property crime increased or decreased in Arizona? What could have caused this?
* Is there enough crime to support building prisons? Is it a good financial decision to invest in prisons given the amount of crime in Arizona?
* Is there any issue with the data in the table? Is the data accurate? Does the data pattern for total crime match the data pattern for crime rate?
