Crime Patterns
• Day/Season/Climate• Crime rises later in day as kids get out of
school.• Climate/Season– More overall crimes are committed in the warmer
months.• Teenagers out of school• People are outside• Houses are left vacant

Exceptions

Temperature
• Some criminologists believe that as temperature goes up so does the crime rate.
• Domestic assault goes up in relation to heat.
• Stress and tension caused by temperature cause us to get violent.– People are also outside and with others more

Regionally
• Northeast has the lowest violent crime rate
• South and West come in the highest with the South leading the way.
• Why is this?
![Page 11: History of Criminal Identification. In The Beginning Only had people’s names Then went to photographs and names What was the issue with this process?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d994/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Firearms
• Used in 20% of robberies• 10% of assaults• 5% of rapes• 67% of all murders• Have no racial or ethnic correlation• Some criminologists believe that the proliferation
of handguns is why we have such a violent society.
• Some believe it to be a deterrent.

Social Class/ SES and Crime
• Believed that crime in the inner city is high because people have nothing and resort to crime to get what they need.– Prison populations seem to attest to that fact
• Crimes include, robberies, muggings, car theft, drug dealing etc. Called instrumental crimes
• Expressive crimes include rape/assault
• May be because Police focus their time and effort in lower income areas
• Evidence suggests that more serious crimes happen at a higher rate in lower income areas
• Middle class kids commit more nuisance crimes overall.

How do we know these things?
• There are various ways of collecting data
– UCR or Uniform Crime Report• FBI report that gathers information from police
departments across the country– Problems with this are numerous
• Not all departments report crime the same way• Only 50% of crime is reported overall
![Page 14: History of Criminal Identification. In The Beginning Only had people’s names Then went to photographs and names What was the issue with this process?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d994/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
NIBRS
• This is the National Incident Based Reporting System
– This does not report the crimes reported by police
– This system reports the crimes to which police responded
What could the problem be with this system?
![Page 15: History of Criminal Identification. In The Beginning Only had people’s names Then went to photographs and names What was the issue with this process?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d994/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Victimization Studies
• Reports of crimes from the victims themselves
– If someone got raped/mugged/robbed/etc the report is from the victims own words
What could the problem be with this report?
![Page 16: History of Criminal Identification. In The Beginning Only had people’s names Then went to photographs and names What was the issue with this process?](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d994/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Self Report Crimes
• The criminals themselves report the crimes
– They can give the best description of what happened.
What do you think just might possibly, maybe, could be the problem with this report?
