The last time Sinn Féin were topping polls was 100 years ago during and just after the war of independence. Then the various splits happened and Sinn Féin itself became irrelevant essentially not recognizing the Dail and not standing for or winning any seats between 1927 and 1997.

The rape number is very unreliable. To begin with there is "Rape (old definition)" and "Rape (new definition)." There is also a cultural change of what we think of as rape. Harvey Weinstein is a rapist but never used a gun of a knife even on a woman of lawful age.
The only number you can hang your hat on is total homicides. The Proper Authorities can be trusted to count dead bodies and perhaps be trusted to detect most homicides. After that, murder, manslaughter, suicide are all less reliable.
But the trend lines are roughly right. It is remarkable that crime was skyrocketing when I was young man. I never even noticed. Even now we don't our kids play in the park. Crime is not high, but it was when we were kids and we were taught the park was a dangerous place.

These two data items from the Australian Bureau of Statistics should illustrate some of the issues with interpreting crime data, especially stigmatised and very personal crimes.
"People who were victims of sexual assault" is a surveyed number from a crime victimisation survey, so small sample is why it's a bit choppy from year to year (I also ran a trend line through it). The victimisation rate is about 0.5% per year for all women over the age of 15 and (unreliably) around 0.1% for men. The surveyed counts also rely on respondents being willing to report in a survey, so we should expect changing attitudes and stigma levels to influence surveyed response rates over time.
Recorded assaults is the police and justice system number and obviously that only just captures the sexual assaults that were recorded, which is also subject to attitudes among victims and within law enforcement. Survey respondents were asked for whether they reported the assault and the average reporting rate each year was under 20% - which means around 80% of sexual assaults were never reported to police.
Note that the recorded sexual assaults here looks higher than 20% of the surveyed victims, because a third of the recorded victims are under the age of 15 and thus not covered by the survey data. Indeed, for males, sexual assault in the recorded data is highest for ages 0-9 and 10-14, accounting for almost half of recorded victims.

You might want to censor something about New England there.

I love all the secret Ohios, the secret truth about Wyoming, and the Country Roads states.

arkansas on the map has a much more distinguishable shape and location than kansas
getting kansas and nebraska straight was the very last issue I had before I had like mastered which state is which
(although yea "allegedly" I think this is cooked up)

South Carolina should have been named Take Me Home in the map. Thst is my only grievance. In fact, I would like to stsrt s movement to make the states of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolins, to formally adopt such names.

I found this cool chart:
https://www.fcpamap.com/
The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) is an American law so this is reporting which countries have been the location of recipients of bribes by American firms that were caught by the government. The FCPA is seen as something of a global turning point on open bribery and corruption as it was a first-of-kind bill that a lot of other countries emulated.

Here's a cool chart comparing the development cost of the Saturn V against the development and launch costs of the SLS (NASA's new moon rocket). The SLS program has been rightfully derided for being massively mismanaged, over budget and behind schedule and yet its costs are a fraction of the Saturn V's due to the re-use of older technology in the SLS which had to be developed new for the Saturn.

Would it not be better to show the FCPA penalties as % of total financial amount of deals ?

Yeah I think that would be another good way to look at the data. I'm not sure what penalties the FCPA levies though - if there is a ~uniform penalty for all violations, then just knowing the total is a good proxie for the relative number of individual offenses.

It's actually interesting to note how legally innovative the US is. I believe RICO and some money laundering law are examples of such legislation that has been emulated or suggested for emulation by other countries.
