Prepare a response in which you answer the following discussion questions:
- What is major crime reporting? What are the purposes of major crime reporting programs? Compare and contrast the criteria for successful crime reporting programs in the United States.
- What are crime rates? How do crime rates relate to arrest rates? Is there a better solution to improving the correlation between crime rates, arrest rates, and clearance rates in the effort of combating criminal activity?
Format your answers consistent with APA guidelines; no abstract is required, but citations and a reference page is expected. While there is no minimum word or page requirement, the responses should sufficiently address the question.
