The 's Message Of Hope And Salvation

To begin with, statistics can be defined as the practice or science of collecting and analyzing numerical data in large quantities, especially for the purpose of inferring proportions in a whole from those in a representative sample. Criminal justice on the other hand is defined as the system of practices and institutions of governments directed at upholding social control, deterring and mitigating crime, or sanctioning those who violate laws with criminal penalties and rehabilitation efforts. The use of statistics has been around for decades in a number of scholarly disciplines. More specifically, it has been an important vehicle in obtaining better knowledge in the field of criminal justice. This paper will discuss the role of statistics in criminal justice.

For the public defenders and prosecutors, I will ask the head of each group for verbal consent to carry out the research. For the homeless population, I will use convenience sampling when sending out surveys. I will walk around the general vicinity and ask the clients, if they can spare 15 minutes for the research. They will be asked to complete a series of questions. The surveys will differ depending on the group. For the public defenders, the questions will focus on the scope of the issues that their office faces. When it comes to the prosecutors, the questions will focus on whether or not, they want any change to the current state of affairs. Lastly, for the clients, the questions will focus on their experience with the criminal justice system and what kind of changes they

Although crime has been around for ages, we only started collecting crime data around the 1930’s. Crime statistics show a lot about a country, state, county, etc. Crime can be linked to the environment, behavior of others, and personal experiences, it all depends on how the person deals with the hand they are dealt. Crime data is collected from three sources, which are uniform crime reports (UCR), national incident based reporting system (NIBRS), and national crime victimization survey (NCVS).

​The National Crime Victimization Survey has its strengths which include ‘estimating the total amount of annual crimes that are not reported, in addition to, the crimes that are reported to the police. The NCVS provide more information on crimes that the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). The survey is done in the comfort of one’s home where the individual are more comfortable reporting the incident that occurred as opposed to entering a police department to report a crime or a potential crime. According to the textbook, the NCVS help people to understand why crimes are not reported to police and whether the type and nature of the criminal event influences whether the police will ever know it occurred. In some

Questions involving the nature of crimes, injury, and weapons are asked. The victim’s and offender’s age, sex, race, and relationship are disclosed along with the victim’s marital status, and education level. All crimes even the unreported are asked along with details to help understand the situation. The NCVS is the only survey that can manage to handle crimes which were not reported.

The victimization report (VR) breaks each crime into subgroups. Each subgroup shows a better interpretation on which violent crime or other crimes played a higher role in the rates recorded. In table 1 of the VR,

Chapter 2 allows readers to visualize and understand the concept of the most severe crimes to the least serious crimes. The chapter introduces the Uniform Crime Reports and the issues within the reports. Part one crimes include two subcategories: crimes against the person and crimes against property. Part two crimes are considered everything else that part one and two did not include. Historical trends made a difference and shift the crime rate of the Uniform Crime Reports. Furthermore, part one crimes discussed the different degrees and differences. Crimes are classified by the severity between a state’s guidelines and the Uniform Crime Reports ‘guidelines. For instance, the Uniform Crime Reports’ guidelines can consider an aggravated battery

In reading the chapters for this week’s studies, I felt the conflict theory would be of most value in this topic simply because of its very nature. We learned that there is one origin by Mr. Karl Marx, who was able to see that there were two types of classes of people that we were dealing with. One was the producers and the other was the laborers. The conflict theory stresses the fact of how one class of people exploits the other class of people. Hence the distinction of the two classes, known as the lower class and the upper class. If we were to analyze these two classes of people we would see that this the very reason why segregation and division was born in this world in order for man to separate the good from the bad, the rich from the poor, the healthy from the unhealthy. It has been this way from the beginning of time. The cultural poverty class is known to have a stricken mindset mentally. They are not able to see past their current status nor are they able to train their mind to have hope for a better future, because they have already decided they will not flourish in their mind and they will struggle for the rest of their days. According to the word of God, we are to live a priestly lifestyle. It was never God’s intention for us to live below our means, it is his will that we live a holy, righteous life in Christ and be prosperous and blessed.

It is human nature to want to completely understand why and how a specific situation occurs. Humans are always trying to find ways to collect data on these circumstances to the fullest potential. IN the criminal justice field they have tried a multiple of different studies and surveys to collect their data. Two of these methods are the self report survey and the collection of information through official crime reports. Some of these methods are better than others allowing for a more accurate collection of data.

The National Crime Survey (NCS) collects information on crime rates through a six month interval, but there is little information about the psychological impact of the crime and the NCS faults by not giving information on crime six months prior. The NSC does give valuable information about about crimes, over the amount of time that has passed but it the collection does not go in depth. The survey measures saxual assault inadequately, “Koss, Gidycz, and Wisniewski (1987) recently concluded that the actual incident rate for rape is 10 to 15 time higher than NCS estimates” (Kilpatrick). Showing such shattering information allow allegations to come out saying that crime is at a high that is like no other.

Firstly, recorded crime statistics are collated through the collection of data by law enforcement agencies, such as the police in England and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in America. It focuses on the crime that is reported by the public and then what is chosen to be recorded by the police. During the mid-late 19th century, these statistics formed the basis of information about crime, however, although they still provide raw data for publications such as the Offenders Index, they are now viewed critically. This is because, according to Mayhew and Hough (1988), the recorded crime statistics are “adequate as a measure of police workload, but because of unreported and unrecorded crime – deficient as an index of crime”.

Arguments over crime statistics have been raging ever since governments began counting criminal activity. In 1930 the United States congress authorized the attorney general of the United States to survey crime in America. The Federal Bureau of Investigation was chosen to implement the program.

There is a study devoted to finding the causes of crime and what makes people criminals. This study is appropriately

We live in a world that was hand made by an all knowing God who maintain sovereignty over all creation. Who gave a promised to his most faithful servant Abraham that he would become a father of " many nations." This blessing because of the faith of Abraham did not stop at the seed of Abraham but was extended to every nation of the world. This unreached people group project aims will be through prayer and believing with other that God would allow His word to be magnify among the Kanuri Tribes. In spite of the blessing of Abraham we must be mindful that the salvation message of Jesus Christ have been heard by some , yet there are those that have not heard or have being given the opportunity to refuse, but still can believed if given a opportunity.

Interviewers will ask subjects to look at a calendar and state whether or not they had committed a series of different crimes for the previous 12 months. Crimes listed are to include: break-in, theft, auto-theft, fraud, forgery, shoplifting, robbery, selling of drugs, and or prostitution. Subjects are asked to respond “yes” or “no” for each listed crime. Subjects are not asked to disclose number of times crime was committed, monetary amount of damages, and/or legal repercussions to better maintain anonymity of subjects and increase willingness to partake in the research study.
