Crime Discussion Questions

I’m working on a sociology discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Use the sites listed below to answer the prompt. 

The Department of Justice (DOJ) supports defending the country’s laws and defending the interests of the United States: https://www.justice.gov

i.) Investigate how victimization rates have varied over time. Again, the Department of Justice site (DOJ) has this data. 

Chart the data for various crimes over a period of three decades.

How do the patterns of crimes compare with each other?

  • How do they compare with the FBI data in Figures 9.2 & 9.3?

Remember, these a probably a bit dated :-/

What are some possible explanations for the patterns?
