Choose and research a type of crime that is impacting the
city/county in which you live or that you serve
as a law enforcement or public safety professional. The crux
of this assignment is to compare that
particular type of crime in your city/county with both
statewide trends and national trends, while
demonstrating your expertise in the origin and methodology
of the UCR and NIBRS.
Your report should have two parts.

trends at the city/county, state and
national levels. Use the UCR, NIBRS, Bureau of Justice
Statistics etc. to report a meaningful and

various levels and over time. Using
data display techniques from Module 1 is strongly
encouraged.
2. Describe the source(s) of the data in the report and
their respective strengths and weaknesses.
Demonstrate your understanding of the nuances, strengths and
weaknesses of the UCR and
NIBRS via your report. What about this particular crime do
