Answer to Question 1
o the true crime rates.
o More information is available on crime today than any time in the past.
When interpreting and predicting crime trends experts usually focus on three
o reasons for rate variation.
o These include imprisonment, youth population, and the economy.
Starting in 1994, the United States experienced a steep crime decline despite
o predictions saying otherwise,
Specifically from 1990 to 2000 homicide rates, robbery rates, burglary rates, and
o auto theft rates declined.
o In the early 2000s, the crime rate flattened before resuming a downward trend. As of 2011, property and violent crime rates had declined to their lowest levels
o since the early 1970s.
Answer to Question 2
o participants to determine their experiences as victims of crime.
o The first largescale victim's survey took place in 1966.
Victim surveys indicate the dark figure of crime in that they get information on
o crimes not reported to police.
The U.S. Census Bureau now conducts an annual survey titled the NCVS,
o which questions participants about their experiences with crimes.
o NCVS gives victims a voice in the criminal justice process.
Self-reported surveys are a method of gathering crime data that relies on
o participants to reveal and detail their own criminal or delinquent behavior.
They are most useful in situations in which the group to be studied is already
o gathered in an institutional setting.
There is no penalty for admitting to criminal activity in a self-reported survey, so
o subjects are forthcoming in discussing their behavior.
The data from self-reported surveys reveal a much larger dark figure of crime
o than the UCR or NCVS.
