Complete repeating past analysis (Issue #31) #52

Closed mikemahoney218 closed 4 years ago

Adding code for #31 (I believe this closes the issue, but don't want to make that claim -- and if we decide we want to do more work on it, I think this PR should merge separately).

Summary: When looking at FBI data from 2014-2018, PA is typically the 13th-14th closest state to MA in terms of arrest rates, whether we look at raw arrest rates per capita or z-scale them.

Next steps: I think we need to decide if this satisfactorily addresses #31 or if we want more work in that vein.

Force merging this PR (with goals of still discussing/reviewing with @dawngraham next week, particularly in the context of issue #31 ).
