PSY 310 Criminal Data Worksheet Instructions: Respond to PART I and PART II below and then resubmit this worksheet with your responses. PART I Instructions: Respond to the questions below. 1. Review the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) website. What type of criminal data can you gather from this website? As the website states, NIBRS identifies when and where crime takes place, what form it takes, and the characteristics of its victims and perpetrators. In other words, what, where, and when a crime is committed. The criminal data available is violent crime such as assault, murder, and hate crimes. 2. Using the Criminal Data Guide document as a guide, what do you notice about the information that you should ask about? Where should you look for this information? The information you should request is mostly law enforcement and court records. The records department would be the best place to start. 3. Is there a typical profile for terrorists? Explain. There is no typical profile for terrorists because there are so many different types of terrorists. There are over 100 definitions for terrorists and why they do what they do. It is difficult to know specifically what motivates them to do what they do. PART II Instructions: Read through the scenario and respond to the questions below. Lisa is accused of luring a group of men into a park where they are attacked by a criminal street gang. She is also a gang member and this is part of her initiation. She had a very strict upbringing and was physically abused by her older brother and father growing up. At age 13, she befriended some gang members who let her hang around with them. She started skipping school and committing petty crimes such as theft and burglary. Her gang got into a fight with a rival gang and she was injured, requiring stitches and x-rays. A police report was filed, although no charges were brought against her. Using the Criminal Data Guide document as a guide, respond to the following: 1. What pieces of information are important for you to gather specifically from the scenario above?

It is important to know what happened to her as a young child which led her to joining a gang. In the above scenario, she was abused at home and that led her to look for a surrogate family, which the gang became. Her behavior began changing after she started hanging out with the gang. She began skipping school and breaking the law. She was also hurt in the process. School records, medical records, and arrest and court records will be information that should be requested. 2. Thinking creatively, where would you gather the information to start work on your case in reference to the scenario above? You may use a bulleted list to demonstrate specific points you would need.  Contact and interview family members  Interview other gang members if possible  Request school records  Interview teachers  Request court and arrest records  Request medical records
