Quincy College Criminology Paper

For this assignment it’ll be more about the exploration than that destination. First I want you to go check out these sites:

FBI’s Crime Data Explorer (Links to an external site.) tool: Here you can research all sorts of statistics and relationships about all sorts of crimes.

https://crime-data-explorer.fr.cloud.gov/pages/hom…

FBI’s Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (Links to an external site.) (ViCAP): This is a database is used to draw links between violent crimes in different jurisdictions.

Murder Accountability Project: (Links to an external site.) This is a privately funded group tracking homicide across the US with the intent of collecting data to establish an algorithm to help identify killers.

Justice Mapping Project (Links to an external site.): This is offender information designed to inform penal policy and release decisions.

Once you have explored these sites a bit write a reflection paper (2 pages) discussing the following:

1. Which of these sites interested you the most and why?
2. What did you learn visiting these sites?
3. Which of these groups would be a good job opportunity for you?
4. State the most interesting point you saw from each website
5. Did this project help you to understand interpersonal violence in America?
