Assessing measures of crime and victimization

Imagine you are a consultant for the Department of Justice (DOJ). You have been asked to assess measures of crime and victimization. You will then present your findings to the Department.

Research the Internet to find three scholarly resources that focus on measuring crime statistics.

Review these crime databases:

· Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)

· National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)

· National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)

· United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)

create a 15 slide (not including title and reference slides) PowerPoint presentation that includes audio or utilizes footnotes and that:

· Provides an overview of each of the crime databases listed above;

· Compares each system/database;

· Describes the advantages and disadvantages of each database; and

· Discusses whether combining databases would improve the understanding of victimization and better inform victimization redu
