problem statement and measurement 4

Introduction:

Official crime data is derived from normal functions of the criminal justice system, such as police reports that detail offenses, arrest, charges filed, and etc. The official data in the criminal justice field has grown tremendously over the years. Official crime data collected, according to set procedures and with data sets, such as the UCR can be classified in the context of a criminal justice process and scored. However, there can be sources of ambiguity in concept. Furthermore, there can be sources of ambiguity, as such, in classifying or categorizing crimes. This can be problematic in that the purpose of the UCR and other databases is to establish uniformity in classifications and scoring to better utilize the data collected.
