Predicting crime with the uniform crime reporting system

An important part of the criminal system is tracking data to help society develop a better understanding of crime and to prevent further crime in the United States. Every year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) releases a statistical report on crime in the United States, called the Uniform Crime Report (UCR).

Explain how individual agencies classify information that is compiled into the report.
Analyze and identify resources public safety officials, like sheriffs or police chiefs, have to classify or categorize crimes in their cities, counties, and states.
Discuss the pros and cons of the Uniform Crime Reporting System and the yearly reports.
Analyzing Specific Data

Explain how the UCR can help public safety officials predict crime and present crime rates to the American public.
Based on the data and what you have learned in the course, forecast the criminal activity for the nation, your state, or a selected city.
Compare the UCR data for the crime you selected with the same statistical information for that crime in 1950 (you will need to search for these statistics). Are there similarities or differences or can you infer from the data that the trends have remained the same?
How can government officials use the crime statistics data from the 1970s to predict crime twenty years later? How reliable are the statistics in the UCR? Are law enforcement agencies required to report their criminal incidents for compilation in the yearly UCR?
