Today was another boring day. I worked some more on my project and got quite far. I finished both my spreadsheets and started working on the presentation aspect of it. What Christian and I thought about was to look at what type of MIP (Minor in Possession) would have a lower or higher % of recidivism. I noticed that in the non Community Conference group there was more of alcohol convictions compared to the Conference participants who had more marijuana related convictions. We decided to break some pie charts into a flow chart, a pie-flow. Sounds tasty. Anyway I would split each group into marijuana related and alcohol related cases, then split those into first offence and repeat offence in order to determine who had a higher recidivism rate: alcohol or marijuana. That was an interesting prospect and I am looking forward to creating my pie-flow.
What I'm Doing
For my internship this Fall, I will be interning at the District Attorney's Office, gaining experience in criminal justice. The internship will last from March 12th-30th. This internship will give me great experience so that I may pursue a criminal justice degree in college. Basically what I will be doing is following a case from start to finish and seeing what it will be like to investigate a criminal. I will also be taking tours of all the Durango Police Facilities including the Sheriffs Office, the PD and the Jail. I will be going to trials frequently to see the court system side of law, and how a trial works. I am super excited and can't wait until March.
