That's great. Thanks.Charles L. Cotton wrote:I have the data going back to 2002 and it's in the spreadsheet. The pdf is only the last two years and only the comparison per 100,000. I need to update for 2012 since DPS has now released that data.

Re: Crime Statistics: CHL v. General Population
This is a great recourse. The way that DPS posts their data is hard to get much of value from, as they only have the arrest numbers and then the percentage of arrestees that are CHL holders. Without know the total number of CHL holders as a percentage of the population, it doesn't do much good to know what percentage of those arrested for crimes are CHL holders, as the significance of that percentage would go up or down depending on the total number of CHL holders in relation to the overall population. DPS does provide the statistics of number of CHL holders, but it is in a different set of tables and would be a pain in the backside to combine the two sets of numbers and do a proper statistical analysis. You have done a great job here, sir. 
Since you started this thread back in 2008, am I correct in assuming that you have been updating this spreadsheet annually as DPS posts? If so, would you be willing to share those other spreadsheets? A data set spanning multiple years would provide a more convincing argument when I bring my proposal for allowing concealed carry on our college campus before our faculty association at the end of this month.
