Predicting 150 of weekly domestic violence arrest in 2009

Assuming the growth in domestic violence is constant, we get
135/120 = 1.125 or a 12.5% increase in arrests every 3 years. Therefore, we should expect to see another 12.5% increase over 2006's figure, or:
135 X 1.125 = 151.875 arrests, or approximately 152 arrests per week.
