1. What are the latest national trends in crime? Write a short statement with respect to causation after inspecting the Federal Bureau of Investigation Uniform Crime Report at www.fbi.gov (Links to an external site.) (go to ‘statistics’ section under “Reports & Publications”). What specific types of crimes have increased? Decreased? What causal explanations (cause and effect) can you provide? Are your explanations grounded in the scholarly literature?
2. Go to the Disaster Center website at www.disastercenter.com/crime/ (Links to an external site.). Review the crime rate nationally and, by picking out links to state reports, compare the recent crime rates in two states. What types of crimes are on the rise? What type of crime has decreased? Propose a causal explanation for variation in types of crime between states, over time, or both? What causal explanations do criminologists propose?
