What are the differences in arrest and clearance rates?

Unit VI ScholarlyActivity For this scholarly activity, conduct research on patterns of offenses and victimization. Research the crime rates in both your local area and nationally. You must use your textbook and the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Links to these two sites are provided here: Bureau of Justice Statistics. (n.d.). Data collection: National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Retrieved from https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=dcdetail&iid=245#Publications_and_products Federal Bureau of Investigations. (n.d.). UCR publications. Retrieved from https://ucr.fbi.gov/ucr-publications Be sure you are using the most current years. You also must go to the Waldorf Online Library and use the Criminal Justice database to find an article related to this activity. Include responses to the following points in your scholarly activity: 1. Research the most recent murder and aggravated assault data within the past 4 years. Find national data as well as data in your current city or town or the closest nearby that reports. 2. Describe the national and local rates. Have they gone up or down? How do they compare? Do you see trends? What do you attribute to the differences? 3. Explain the terminology and definition of each crime. How do they differ? 4. Describe the characteristics of the crime, including the types of offenders, the types of victims, and the event (e.g., location, weapon, when it occurred). 5. What are the differences in arrest and clearance rates? 6. After learning more about these crimes, pick a theory from an earlier unit and use it to explain the possible reasons for why people commit these crimes in your area.
