Bay County, with a crime rate per 100,000 of 1245.51 was established as having the lowest crime rate in Texkansahomatucky and York County having the highest at 3040.00 per 100,000 inhabitants.

By comparing total crimes per population, we concluded the population per square mile is not a factor in determining the amount of crime: York County has a population of 9.01persons per square mile and it’s a high-crime county and Lane County has a population of 13.7 persons per square mile and is also a high-crime county; on the other hand, Lake County has a population of 4528.1 persons per square mile and Lee County has a population of 5609.25 persons per square mile and they are both considered low-crime counties.

    The Uniform Crime Reporting Program, or UCR, relates crime rates to arrest rates and clearance rates annually through the ‘Crime in the United States’ publication. This report (although not foolproof) gives a statistical picture of how arrests and clearance rates compare to actual crimes reported based on information reported from law enforcement departments across the United States. The UCR, as well as the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), may show higher rates of crime, arrest, and clearance in areas with higher population or lower rates in areas with lower population. The most successful way to improve the correlation of crime, arrest, and clearance rates in effort to combat criminal activity would be to rely on the information provided…

    Future of the Juvenile Justice System Presentation and Paper

    This is a summary of statistics from the Juvenile Arrest 2001 bulletin report. In order to measure juvenile crimes there is the need to take statistics. According to (Snyder, 2003) “the arrest statistics report the number of arrests made by law enforcements in a particular year-not the number of individuals arrested, nor the number of crimes committed.” The FBI keeps an eye on four offenses which are forcible rape, murder, aggravated assault and robbery. They keep this information in what is referred as the Violent Crime Index. The information is provided by law enforcements agencies and this information is provided to the FBI annually.

    Uniform Crime Victimization Survey

    Unfortunately, all of the primary methods of collecting crime data experience inherent flaws, either in the attributes data collected, or the methodology for collecting data. Ideally, a centralized database combining quantitative, qualitative, and geographic attributes would provide the best measure of statistical analysis relating to crime. However, this is near impossible to accomplish, as crime definitions vary from state to state, and there is standardized methodology for local law enforcements with regard to reporting crime (Fagin, 2016).…

    Crime Rates: Explanation For The Decline

    The United States is marked by criminal justice difficulties. In a nation as diverse as this country, it is complex to effectively establish a manner in which to deflect crime. Since the middle of the 20th century the crime rate soared quickly. This held true especially for violent crimes. However, since the 1980’s crime rates in the United States have felt a steep decline. According to the FBI Uniform Crime Report, the 2012 estimated violent crime total was 12.9 percent below the 2008 level and 12.2 below the 2003 level. The UCR is an official report on crime in the United States that is published…
