For this assignment, you will explore the official sources of crime data. Crime data is the foundation for theory building. Crime data makes it important for criminologists to identify patterns. Patterns help researchers and policy makers determine the best paths and solutions. Patterns also indicate if something is a onetime occurrence or a recurrent phenomenon.
Tasks:
Read your textbook as well as any external source to prepare an 8 to 10 slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. In your presentation:

Describe the pros and cons of each data set.
Describe three crime trends from the identified sources of crime data.

I really appreciate the work all your amazing writers do to ensure that my papers are always delivered on time and always of the highest quality.

You came up big for me and continue to do so. I just wish I knew about your services earlier.
