1 AGENDA for February 21st Finish up with Newspaper articles
Review questions from Chapter one Lecture on “The Crime Picture”

2 Chapter One Question Five- What are the main components of the criminal Justice System? How do they interrelate? How might they conflict?

3 Chapter 2 The Crime Picture
Crime Data and Social Policy

4 How are statistics/data reported
Is all crime documented? Which crimes are most often not reported? Misdemeanor vandalism Sexual assaults Domestic Violence

5 Crime Data and Social Policy
Crime statistics provide an overview of criminal activity If used properly, a statistical picture of crime can serve as a powerful tool for creating social policy: Get-tough on crime Three-strikes law Funding for more law enforcement Task forces, equipment, etc.

6 The Collection of Crime Data
Nationally, crime statistics come from two major sources: The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), UCR Uniform Crime Reporting Program also known today as the UCR/NIBRS Program, (National Incident-Based Reporting System). National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) of the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).

7 THE UCR/NIBRS PROGRAM 1930, Congress authorized the United States Attorney General to survey crime in America The FBI was designated to implement the program International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) was asked to create a national system of uniform crime statistics

8 FBI’s UCR A statistical reporting program run by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services During its first year of operation, UCR received reports from cities in 43 states Today, approximately 18,000 law enforcement agencies provide crime information In terms of the most common local law enforcement agencies, that is sheriff and local police departments, the number is about 15,400. If you include every college campus security department, tribal land unit, sheriff office, local police department, state police, and every federal agency, you get to17,985

9 Original UCR Program Crime Index originally consisted of seven (7) major offenses Murder (Crime Index) Forcible Rape Robbery Aggravated Assault Burglary Larceny-theft Motor vehicle theft 1979, they added an eighth (8th) Offense ARSON

10 Let’s take a look at the #2 largest city in the country
LAPD Crime Mapping

11 2004, FBI discontinued crime index
FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Advisory Policy Board officially discontinued the Crime Index and directed the FBI to instead publish simple violent crime totals and property crime totals Remember, it was known as UCR Originally designed to permit comparisons over time through construction of a Crime Index NIBRS

12 UCR vs. NIBRS There are a number of differences between the UCR and the NIBRS yet the most important difference is that UCR is basically a summary based reporting system while NIBRS reports criminal offenses at the incident level. The UCR collects data in a summary format also known as the aggregate or sum total methodology

13 1988, NIBRS was initiated NIBRS is not a separate report, rather it is a new methodology Under the National Incident-Based Reporting System, offenses are being replaced with 22 general offenses

14 What are the 22?

15 National Crime Victimization Survey NCVS
An annual survey of selected American Households conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics

16 NCVS The second major source of statistical data about crime
Based on victim self-reports rather than on police reports Designed to estimate the occurrence of all crimes, whether reported or not

17 What one is more accurate?
While both have their limitations and therefore inaccuracies, one difference between the UCR and NCVS is that NCVS is far more likely to be inaccurate due to its methods of collecting data. The UCR is a cooperative effort for nation-wide law enforcement agencies to report on national crime statistics.

18 Is there really justice?
Are offenders punished for their crimes?
