Methodology I have always had a fascination with homesteading. It began with my father’s stories of growing up on a homestead and his memories of the animals and the garden. His stories bloomed into reading autobiographies of homesteaders, such as The Good Life by Scott and Helen Nearing, and Hard Times in Paradise by David and Micki Colfax. These stories are what led me to live in rural Hawaii where many collect rain water, grow our own food, and have learned to be less consumer driven. While…

collections: Uniform Crime Report (UCR), The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), and The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The first choice was easy to rule out. The NCVS was simply the most unreliable all though it gave the most information, it simply is not the most reliable. According to Siegel et al. (2015), a “weakness of self-report surveys are that they rely on the honesty of offenders…

There are severals reasons for the identification of crime decline, which starts from the period of the beginning of 1990s and lasted until its end. Most important is to understand the cause and consequences related to the mystery which conducted to this decline. Like stated Zimring, (2007) “crime dropped all over the US- in every region in the country as well as the city, in poor neighbourhood as well as the rich neighbourhood.” Another reason, may be the legitimacy of the information or…

In chapter one of the textbook Criminological Theory the Essentials by Stephen G. Tibbetts it discusses three methods of measuring crime, Uniform Crime Report (UCR), the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), and self-report data (SRD) (Tibbetts, 2012, p. 11). The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is an annual report dating back to the1930s consisting of police reports and arrest in the United States (Tibbetts, 2012, p. 12). This is very useful when looking at crimes such as murder and motor…

enforcement personnel. Uniform Crime Reports were last collected in 2009. Followed by the UCR, are National Crime Victimization Surveys, formerly called National Crime Surveys. NCVS have been conducted annually since 1972 by the Bureau of the Census for the U.S Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Validity This argument is not valid if you interpret the thesis an meaning that owning a gun will never in any circumstances make you safer. He quotes a study saying that there was a case of a woman using a gun in self defense. He also says they are not more effective than other forms of self-defense, but that means they are still better than no self-defense, therefore able to make you safer. Because of this the absolute statement of owning a gun does not make you safer this argument can not be…

This is said to be more accurate, because people tend to not report sex crimes against them to the police, and this survey allows the people to do that, in a sense. There are certain characteristics that are specific to sexual victimization. When it comes to offenders, they are typically white males between the ages of eighteen and thirty. Although sex crimes can be…

cost of a stethoscope does not change my action. With respect to worrying about debt, there are likely other tradeoffs I can make in my personal life to avoid a stethoscope. I would rather go with that route. While some may have the personal integrity to not be influenced by receiving a stethoscope, I prefer not to put myself in that position in the first place. While the taking the stethoscope seems somewhat unsavory, I do not see an issue with listening to the lecture. Taking the opportunity…

Self Reporting in the Criminal Justice System Introduction: The Uniform Crime Report has been a great tool in the collection and distribution of crime related statistics over the years since the FBI was given the responsibility on June 11, 1930 by the first federal legislation on behalf of Congress. This report has been created to collect information such as types of crimes. Whether they be Part I Offenses like: criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny,…

Chapter 13 looked at homicide and physical assault. When it comes to the scope of exposure it was stated in the book that “comparing rates of physical assaults across nations is difficult because legal definitions of crime differ. In addition, there is limited access information about physical assaults that are not reported to police. If the legal definition of physical assault differs in two countries or if the proportion of cases reported to police in each country differs, then comparisons…
