Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Three essential criteria for crime analysis should be used by departments in designing data-collection processes and in interpreting the meaning of information resulting from crime analysis:
1. Timeliness. Does the pattern or trend presented reflect a current problem or issue or is it more representative of a previous situation? Deployment decisions with respect to both prevention and offender apprehension efforts must be based on information that is as current as possible.
2. Relevancy. Do the measures used in the analysis accurately reflect what is intended? For example, whether a pattern is based on calls-for-service data or incident data can be a very important determination depending on what the police manager is trying to understand.
3. Reliability. Would the same data, interpreted by different people at different times, lead to the same conclusions?
