University of Florida FBI Crime Report

 

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

The use of statistics is often employed to highlight international, national, and state trends in crime and drug abuse.

  • Go to the FBI Uniform crime report website (http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/ucr-publications (Links to an external site.)), pick one of the reports for a particular year, and 
    • describe in detail what the report is about
    • discuss the types of variables, defining the different elements
    • provide a summary of findings (or results) of the report in your own words
  • Describe 3 interesting (and differing) examples of the use of statistics in forensic sciences 
  • Go to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services administration (SAMHSA) website (https://www.samhsa.gov/data (Links to an external site.)), pick a dataset of your choice from any of the available data sets, and briefly summarize the data in your own words.
