Present national data and trends based on the FBI Uniform Crime Report and/or the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), or another comparable nationally recognized database, such as The Campus Safety and Security Data Analysis Cutting Tool. Or, for an international perspective, you may present data available at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crimes Crime and criminal justice statistics.
Present graphical statistical crime data for a specific category of crime from three comparable size cities, counties, or states from three different regions of the country (e.g., Indianapolis, Austin, and San Francisco). This information should be found on official government websites.
Develop questions you would like to address based on the data you retrieved. (Note: You do not have to answer these questions for this assignment.) What crime prevention programs or initiatives are available to potentially address the crime or criminal justice issue? (Note: You are working through Step 18 in Crime Analysis for Problem Solvers in 60 Small Steps.)
