Evaluation of the Federal Bureau of Investigations Uniform Crime Reporting Program
Established in 1908, the current stated mission of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States (Our vision and mission, 2021, para. 2). To achieve this vital mission, the FBI investigates a wide range of domestic crimes, including white-collar, organized and violent crimes, among others. One of the key strategies that the FBI uses to fight these types of crimes is their Uniform Crime Reporting Program which can identify important trends to help the organization focus its efforts where they are most needed. To gain a better understanding of these tools, the purpose of this paper is to provide an evaluation of the FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting Program websites resources on crime and victimization, including a description of these online resources, the URL where they can be located and an analysis concerning how these selected resources differ in their respective approaches to information collection, including whether they report sampling information and what the reported statistics mean. In addition, a discussion concerning whether the FBI reports the sampling method used in the studies from which they obtained these statistics is followed by recommendations on improving these sampling methods in order to increase the representativeness and generalizability of these statistics. Finally, a summary of the research and key findings concerning the foregoing issues about the FBI and its Uniform Crime Reporting Program are presented in the conclusion.
Five selected resources from the FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting Program Website
The five resources selected from the FBIs Uniform Crime Report Program website at https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/ on crime or victimization and a brief description of these resources and their respective locations are provided below:
Resource #1: National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) at https://www.fbi. gov/services/cjis/ucr/nibrs: This resource provides detailed information concerning every crime incident that is reported by nationwide law enforcement agencies together with separate offenses that occur during the same crime incident (i.e., information on the victims involved as well as known offenders, the relationships between offenders and victims, arrestees, and the property involved in crimes). At present, 57% of the nations 14,993 law enforcement agencies provide data for the NIBRS.
Resource #2: Hate Crime Statistics...
The CDE features visualization tools that use the above-described NBRIS data (for 20 states only), NIBRS and the FBI Summary Reporting System (SRS) data (25 states only) and SRS data only (five states). In addition, the CDE also provides downloadable big data files concerning crimes in the U.S.
Resource #4: Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) at https://www.fbi.gov/ services/cjis/ucr/leoka: Based on specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, this webpage provides information collected from participating law enforcement agencies concerning law enforcement officers that have been killed or otherwise assaulted in the United States. In addition, this webpage also features resources for law enforcement agencies only that includes a training calendar, case studies of violent encounters, in line of fire incidents and a killed in the line of duty study. The webpage is silent, though, concerning the number of law enforcement agencies that contribute data.
Resource #5: The National Use-of-Force Data Collection (NUFDC) at https://www.fbi.gov/services/cjis/ucr/use-of-force: This information service provides national-level statistics collected voluntarily from participating law enforcement agencies concerning law enforcement use-of-force incidents and basic information about the circumstances, subjects, and officers involved. with the first data collection from law enforcement agencies beginning on January 1, 2019. This webpage is also silent concerning how many federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies contribute data to this service.
How These Sources of Information Differ in Their Approaches to Collecting Information
Do they report the sampling information? In some cases (i.e., NIBRS, HCS, CDE) some indication concerning the sampling procedures that are used is provided; in the other cases (i.e., NUFDC and…

Big data is a new frontier in innovation, characterized by vast data sets that require extensive computer processing to spot trends, and improve productivity. The ability to gather such data sets and effectively translate them in to strategy is seen as a new way of competing and innovating (Manyika et al., 2011). My area of interest is fashion, an area where creativity remains more important than data processing. Yet, big
Big Data Shopping Big data is a relatively recent concept in the marketing world, that describes the process of analyzing massive data sets to unearth trends. The data sets are so large that it would be almost impossible to find such trends without high-powered analytical technology. Big data has been facilitated by the ability to gather massive amounts of information about consumer profiles and shopping trends. The primarily facilitators of big

Big Data Faris (2013) speculates as to whether NSA leaks will compromise big data's future. The article, published on the website Dataversity, notes that there is public concerns about data leaks at NSA. Consumers are becoming more aware about just how much of their information is available to the government. The author calls into question the dichotomy of private data and public data, in particular were corporate entities are gathering data,
Big Data Nowadays, enterprises are employing statisticians when carrying out sophisticated data analysis. This is caused by the increased affordability in data acquisition and data storage among large scale and small-scale enterprises. This article focuses on highlighting the emerging Magnetic, Agile, Deep (MAD) data analysis. This is figured out as a shift from traditional enterprise data intelligence. The article presents its design philosophy as well as experience and techniques that portray
Big Data Role in Obama Re-Election The volumes, rapid velocity and variation of data otherwise referred to as Big Data has been used in the electioneering process especially in terms of directing the trends of voter psychology and the subsequent voting patterns, a specific example being the Obama reelection process that took more of the internet direction than the traditional door-to-door approach in the campaigns. This paper will hence expound on
