Data on decades of Boy Scout expulsions released

Data on decades of Boy Scout expulsions released The Los Angeles Times released nearly 5,000 records of allegations from the Boy Scouts of America as a browseable map and searchable list. You can also download the data. This data­base con­tains in­form­a­tion on about 5,000 men and a hand­ful of wo­men who were ex­pelled from the Boy Scouts of Amer­ica between 1947 and Janu­ary 2005 on sus­pi­cion of sexu­al ab­use. The dots on the map in­dic­ate the loc­a­tion of troops con­nec­ted in some way to the ac­cused. The timeline be­low shows the volume of cases opened by year; however, an un­known num­ber of files were purged by the Scouts pri­or to the early 1990s The interactive map helps you narrow down by city, but it's kind of hard to see cases on a country-wide perspective. Here's a quick look. The worst part is that a lot of the cases went unreported. Become a member. Get access to tutorials and directly support FlowingData.
