Crime Reporting and Rates Response
Crime Reporting and rates response
This report will be about crime reporting, the purpose of crime reporting, and what makes crime reporting successful. This report will also cover how crime rates relate to arrest rates and clearance rates.
The purpose of major crime reporting programs are used to gather information about crimes that are committed and the ways to counter act these crimes. The system that is used to gather crime information is called The National Incident-Based Reporting System. (NIBRS) The NIBRS is an incident-based reporting system that collects detailed data on every single crime occurrence. NIBRS data is replacing the kinds of summary data that have traditionally been provided by the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
What makes a successful crime reporting program is a program that is accurate with the information that it is given. When crimes are reported by law enforcement the program is able to calculate and help give results of possible crimes in the future. If a state is reporting crimes there crime reporting will be more accurate and effective.
Crime is related to arrest rates by two different systems. One system is the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. (UCR) The other program is the National Incident-Based Reporting System. (NIBRS) These two systems report crime across the country, and the higher the crime rate the higher the arrest will be. To improve crime rates and arrest rates law enforcement can use these systems to focus on higher crime rate areas, where they are needed most.
