Improved Essays
Show More
The text defines UCR as “a nationwide statistical computation involving more that 1,800 city, county, and state law enforcement agencies that voluntarily provide data on reported crimes (Wallace, Roberson, 2015, p.51). The primary objective of the UCR is to develop a set or reliable criminal statistics to be used by law enforcement administration, operation, and management. Common problems with UCR system is that it only lists crimes that are reported to law enforcement and some police agencies do not report crimes to the FBI or Department of Justice. UCR solely rely on voluntary reports from law enforcement, so there is the possibility of underreporting from some agencies. Also the issue of counting crimes causes a problem as well as exclusion

    The Uniform Commercial Code ( Ucc )

    Lease is a contract renting land, buildings to another; a contract or instrument conveying property to another for a specified period or for a period determinable at the will of either lessor or lessee in consideration of rent or other compensation. Laws relating to the sale of goods, in other words, sales law, have their origin in the common law principles of contracts. Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), however, which governs sales law, has made changes that meet the needs of merchants and consumers who deal with one another contractually in a modern business world. In effect, the UCC has relaxed the rules relating to sales transactions by removing many of the technical requirements relating to contracts under the common law. Under the UCC, it is now far easier to form a binding sales contract.…

    Relationship Between Discrimination And Disproportionate Offending

    Race and Crime: Discrimination vs Disproportionate Offending The problem with racial discrimination in the criminal justice system is debatable because there is a considerable amount of evidence that addresses the fact that it is both individual and systemic biases. What is already known is that there is a relationship between race and crime, but through research we aim to find whether or not the cause of this relationship has to do with discrimination or disproportionate offending. The relationship between race and crime is a topic most generally talked about because statistics have shown that members of different races have different tendencies to why they offend. What has been found in research is that, both discrimination and disproportionate…
