Southern New Hampshire University PSY 310 Criminal Data Worksheet Instructions: Respond to PART I and PART II below and then resubmit this worksheet with your responses. PART I Instructions: Respond to the questions below. 1. Review the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) website. What type of criminal data can you gather from this website? The UCR Program is reliable data that law enforcement officials and others who work in the criminal profession can use as a reliable source of data. Researchers, students, the public, and journalists can also use this data to learn about the criminal world. Many agencies across the country report to the UCR Program. More than 18,000 agencies, in fact, report to the UCR. Some of these include cities, counties, states, colleges, tribes, universities, and federal agencies. The local agencies report different crimes within the jurisdiction to the state and the state reports to the FBI. 2. Using the Criminal Data Guide document as a guide, what do you notice about the information that you should ask about? Where should you look for this information? The criminal data guide gives individuals a comprehensive grasp of information. This data guide helps identify a person, what they are accused of, the location, and the time the crime occurred. The Criminal Data Guide helps by providing tools to search for this information. Some examples of sources that are provided are Google, social media, and background services. 3. Is there a typical profile for terrorists? Explain. It doesnffit always work, but I think there is a common description for terrorists. The test says that gathering information on people who have previously participated in similar criminal activity is a key component of suspect-centered profiling. Their actions, ideas, traits, and history are all included in this data (Bartol & Bartol, 2020). The motivations, ideologies, ethnicities, genders, and methods used by terrorists to carry out their acts vary widely. As a result, terrorists are using increasingly sophisticated techniques in their operations, such as figuring out how to evade capture and recruiting members of non-terrorist organizations. I donffit think itffis reliable to build a terrorist profile based only on historical occurrences.
