As a result, the UCC helps avoid the complexity and difficulties that would accompany the differences in state commercial laws during the movement of products or materials…

Crime reporting is not a new concept and has been around since the 1800s. “Federal attention to crime statistics began on June 22, 1870, when Congress passed PL 41-97, creating the Department of Justice.
