Briefly

  • Animated visualisation of motor vehicle accident rates over the year in Australia. Unfortunately it’s based on just one year of data, which isn’t really enough. And if you’re going the effort of the animation, it would have been nice to use it to illustrate uncertainty/variability in the data
  • Randomised trials outside medicine: the combined results of ten trials of restorative justice conferences. Reoffending over the next two years was reduced, and the victims were happier with the handling of the case. (via @hildabast)
  • How much do @nytimes tweets affect pageviews for their stories?
