 Mean Score



 Note: Values on solid line in center of the box represent mean score of the
 subscale, the box represents one standard deviation from the mean, and the line or
 "whisker" represents the 95% confidence band. The protected categories are religion
 (religion), sexual orientation (sex orient), gender (gender), race (race), and disability
 (disability). The non-hate crime item category (non-hate) is not a protected category.
 Those items that did not have bias crime indicators were separated into a separate
 category to illustrate the LEO ability to distinguish between items with and without bias
 crime indicators.
