This week you read about what is criminology, the way that crime is measured and the advantages and limitations of these sources, as well as crime patterns and trends. You discussion post should address the following: 

1. The Siegel textbook chapters (PDF) are providing a basic overview of criminology including trends and patterns of common crimes. What were some of these crime patterns/trends (list specific ones). Where you surprised by any of these trends/patterns? Why or why not? 

2. Discuss the main sources of crime data in the U.S. and the pros and cons of each

3. You watched the video about how the NYPD abused their citizens in the name of data. Discuss what is COMPSTAT, how it is/was abused, and the implications of using an instrument like this in policing (i.e. consequences, negative effects of such a policyy). Which NYPD actions concern you the most? 

 

You will be graded on how well you demonstrate your understanding of the material and application of it to the scenario/real-world. Discussion posts should be 250-500 words. Please post as early as possible so that your peers can read your posts and post responses.
