Victimization in the United States: An Overview
1. Using the FBI's Uniform Crime Report (UCR), develop a table that lists the same cities from the map in figure 4.1, page 100. Instead of murder rates, assemble robbery rates from the UCR. Present your results in a table or chart format.
2. Does the ranking of these large U.S. cities by robbery rates come out the same as for murder rates? Which ones were close and which were not?
3. Pick another serious crime and rank these cities by that crime rate.
4. Review your own lifestyle and routine activities. What are the most dangerous things you do in terms of exposure to criminals and entering hot-spot zones? What could you do to reduce your risks? What changes would be impractical or unworkable?
