| AQ: Arrest Quotient. This indicator compares local marijuana arrests to national marijuana arrests in proportion to all arrests. | ||||||||||||||

| that local marijuana arrests are the same percentage of all arrests as they are nationally. A value of 2.0 indicates that local marijuana | ||||||||||||||
| arrests are twice the percentage of local arrests as they are nationally. AQ values less than 1.0 indicate that local marijuana arrests | ||||||||||||||
| are less of a percentage of all local arrests than the national standard. A value of .5 indicates that local marijuana arrests. | ||||||||||||||
| are one half the percentage they represent of all national arrests. | ||||||||||||||
| RATE: Marijuana arrest rate per 100,000 population. | ||||||||||||||
| CHANGE: Percent change in arrest rate from 1995 to 1997. | ||||||||||||||
