evidence we will examine the presence of bullying and the impact it has on the student body. Review of Research The National Center for Education and Statics (NCVS) is a survey that was administered to individuals ages 12 or older who lived within one household or institute. The survey is conducted annually by the United States Census Bureau. It focuses primarily on non-fatal crimes reported or unreported to the local authorities.

8 Features of Crime There are eight essential factors that are found every crime and therefore make up the legal concept as to what crime is. The eight concepts are actus reus, mens rea, concurrence, causation, harm, legality, necessary attendant circumstances, and punishment. Actus reus means guilty act, or any act that is in violation of the law. This term describes the physical not the mental act of committing a crime.Omission to act is also represented under this act, for example child-neglect

Theories of Anti-Arab and Anti-Islamic Hate Crime Before and After 9/11 The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 were a triggering event for spikes of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hate crime in weeks following the events and were so profound that rates of anti-Arab/Islamic hate crime never returned to their pre-9/11 numbers. The media played a large role in the weeks following 9/11 where Arab Americans and Muslims were demonized and profiled as disloyal, anti-American terrorists, perhaps contributing

Crime Data and Social Policy At the beginning of the second chapter, it is described how the statistics of a crime provide a summary of the whole criminal activity. An accurate statistical picture of a crime benefits the creation of a social policy. In a national level, the collection of crime statistics come from two major sources, Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program and National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program produces an annual overview of major crime

Collecting crime data is very important to the criminal justice system. It helps in various ways from showing increases of certain crimes in different regions to how often different crimes are committed. There are three major crime data sources in the united states, official statistics, victimization survey data, and self-reported data. Starting with official statistics, the main source is the UCR which stands for uniform crime reports. “The UCR Program collects statistics on violent crime (murder and

understanding, I don’t believe that the Uniform Crime Report and the National Crime Victimization Survey report at the same rate. The UCR takes data that is reported from local law enforcement agencies, sent to the FBI and compiles a summary that is released for public viewing. The NCVS sends out surveys that allows individuals to report crimes, that they may have not, otherwise. While there is a likelihood that many victims will not report their crimes, overall, the majority do report, allowing for

Measuring Crime Crime measurement and statistics for police departments are very important when it comes to money allotment, staffing needs or termination and it is also used to determine the effectiveness of new laws and programs. There are three tools used to measure major crime in the United States: Uniform Crime Reports, National Crime Victimization Survey and the National Incident Based Reporting System- which is currently being tested to replace the Uniform Crime Reports. Although

believe surveys are commonly used for tools in conducting their research. The three survey designs employed a randomized allocation process that maintain particular focus to their characteristics such as sex and perceived risk or victim status. Two conceptual model were measured on several items grounded on a four-point Likert scale to (Abdullah et al. 2014; Fox et al. 2009). Fox et al. (2009) diverges with scales derived from modified versions of the Revised Conflict Tactics Scale, National Violence

Correspondingly, victimization surveys utilize specialized software, which not only expands use of this surveying technique but improve quality for analyzing local crime. Self-reporting crimes are the best survey for measuring crime that does not have recognized victims. Similarly, self-reporting surveys is significant for providing data regarding discrete crimes such as shoplifting, which can also be associated with drugs abuse. According to Maxfield & Babbie (2017), local surveys are advantageous

involves the crime to be initially reported to the police. This beginning procedure already has a problem, and according to James, the problem is, “the NIBRS collect data on the number of offenses known to law enforcement each year. However, not all crimes that occur are known to the police” (2). The procedure that is used in NIBRS to get the number of crimes begins initially with the crime being reported to
