In your final consulting assignment, the mayor of Centervale and the city counsel have asked
you to help them understand how to better predict crime rates.
An important part of the criminal system is tracking data to help society develop a better
understanding of crime and to prevent further crime in the United States. Every year, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) releases a statistical report on crime in the United States,
called the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). In this assignment, you will access this report,
familiarize yourself with its functionalities, and analyze the data to develop a prediction.
All the information you provide is to be presented in a formal 3- to 6-page paper that properly
uses subheadings to categorize information. Be sure to use specific information from external
sources to support your ideas.
