Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

The UCR uses three methods to express crime data. First, the number of crimes reported to the police and arrests made are expressed as raw figures (for example, in 2010, 14, 748 murders occurred). Second, crime rates per 100,000 people are computed. In other words, when the UCR indicates that the murder rate was about 4.8 in 2010, it means that almost 5people in every 100,000 were murdered between January 1 and December 31, 2010.

This is the equation used:
Number of Reported Crimes  100,000 = Rate per 100,000 Total U.S. Population

Third, the FBI computes changes in the number and rate of crimes over time. Even though almost 15,000 murders in a year seems like a lot, the number and rate of murder has declined significantly over the past 20 years: in 1991, there were almost 25,000 murders recorded, a rate of 9.8 per 100,000 citizens.
