The class sequence could be improved. Some of the classes seemed, either out of sequence or the information provided would have been better understood if presented first in another class. I believe Ofc. Marlin tried to sequence these better but had difficulty with coordinating the schedules of the instructors. When possible, give the training a higher priority and schedule early enough to minimize last-minute changes. This would benefit the training, the students, and Ofc. Marlin. Toward the end

Crime throughout the United States is measured through statistics. Whether they are small crimes, blue color crimes, drugs, and even murder, these statistics help the criminal justice system to develop new laws that need to be put in place and to see how current programs are working. There are two statistical reports used to measure crime in the United States; they are the (UCR) Uniform Crime Report and the (NCVS) National Crime Victimization Survey. There is a third and it is self-reported crimes

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).

How safe are our children at school? This question is asked every time we hear about a school violence in the United States. The federal government passed the Zero tolerance policy in 1994 which required students found in possession of guns, knives, drugs and alcohol to be expelled from school. Zero Tolerance policy came into limelight in 1999 Columbine school shooting, where two students killed 13 and injured 24 others. Schools have zero tolerance policies to keep the students disciplined and to

questioning blacks in disproportionate numbers in expectation that they are more likely than people of other races to be criminals” (Taylor & Whitney, 2002). Statistics show that African-Americans and Hispanics commit more crime than Caucasians, with 90% of the 1.7 million interracial crimes stemming from the hands of African-American men. Even looking at these numbers, does that make it okay for the police to arrest and interrogate these racial minorities at such a high frequency? Where are these statistics

delinquency is measured in which each way consists of advantages and disadvantages within the scope of measuring crimes and delinquency. The several types of juvenile delinquency measuring crimes statistics are from collected from the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR), National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), Victimization Surveys, and Self-Report Studies. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program consist of voluntarily combination reports from city, county and state law enforcement agencies

The Inaccuracy of National Crime Victimization Survey Research However consistent the evidence may be concerning the effectiveness of armed victim resistance, there are some who minimize its significance by insisting that it is rare.[15] This assertion is invariably based entirely on a single source of information, the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Data from the NCVS imply that each year there are only about 68,000 defensive uses of guns in connection with assaults and robberies

Guns are used for Self-Defense less than 1% of the time Looking at data from 1992 through 2005 and 2007 through 2011, there were over 192 million violent crimes committed in the United States during this 17 year period. Of those crimes, the victims chose to use a gun as a self-defensive measure to threaten or attack their offender over 1.3 million times. Over this 17 year time period, a gun was used as a form of self-defense to threaten or attack an offender 0.7% of the time. Of those 0.7% that

theory is a point of view developed by criminologists that looks into the decision making behind committing a crime. People make logical decisions to commit crimes. Rational choice has to do with whether the possible pleasure from committing the crime will be greater than the pain if the offender is caught. While the rational choice theory can explain most reasons why people commit crimes, it can not explain all of them. This paper will look at three types of criminals and how rational choice theory
