Internal affairs incidents, by type and size

AnalysisGroups are never compared as equivalent across type or size band. Correctional agencies, for instance, naturally have different volume patterns than municipal police; each distribution describes only its own peers.

Read with care. Groups smaller than 8 agencies are omitted entirely rather than shown as an unreliable distribution, matching the same floor the report-card engine uses.
