UCR Performance

Write a four-page report for the Chief of Police Rodney Hurt. He will use the report for his news
conference regarding the public’s concern for the increase in crime over the past five years. In the report, you
will include the following:
A definition and description of the Uniform Crime Report.
A description of the data-gathering strategy for your report and a rationale for why you chose that technique.
A discussion of the crime trends comparing Happy Town, Frown Town, Smooth Town, and Cool Town over the
past five years.
Your report should clearly describe all the details necessary for the Chief’s news conference. Your answers will
be judged not only on the accuracy of the information you provide, but also on how thoroughly the information
is covered, how effectively the report is organized, and how well your writing reflects the conventions of
standard written English.
