Assignment: Reporting and Perceptions

An elderly man is exploited financially by his caregiver and does not report it. An undocumented immigrant is robbed at her workplace. A woman enters a police station to report a sexual assault that occurred a year earlier. A bystander captures a school shooting on his cell phone. All of these experiences contribute to the crime landscape and complicate statistics and perceptions.

In this Assignment, you further examine crime reporting—what gets reported, what doesn’t, and why—and the role of technology in the public’s perception of safety.

BY DAY 7 OF WEEK 3

Submit a 450- to 750-word paper in which you address these two parts:

Part 1: Crime Reporting

Explain how crime is reported by criminal justice authorities to the government.
Explain why 50% of serious crime may go unreported by citizens. Explain how this affects crime statistics kept by government entities, and support your explanation with examples from the reading.
Explain the factors that have led to a decrease in violent crime.

Part 2: Technological Influence

Explain how technology has affected the perceptions of safety and violence in society. In your explanation, refer to a current event or professional example and to the learning resources.
