Question 6 Explain the hierarchy rule and how it pertains to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports . Your Answer The hierarchy rule as is pertains to the Uniform Crime Reports is "when more than one offense occurs within an incident, only the most serious crime contributes to the agency's monthly crime totals". The Uniform Crime Reports categorized the types of offenses into two groups: Part I and Part II. Part I offenses are more serious crimes such as murder or rape. Part II offenses include less serious crimes such as vandalism or simple assault. For example, if two crimes are committed at one time, such as murder and simple assault, only murder would be reported because it is the more serious crime. Now on the other hand, if multiple of the same offenses happen all at the same time, all of them would be reported. Question 7 a. Differentiate between white collar and blue collar crimes. b. Next, provide an example of each crime type. Your Answer According to the Uniform Crime Reporting data, White collar crime was first introduced by Edwin Sutherland in 1939. He believed more attention and concern should be focused on those people who commit crimes who are in high dollar making jobs. Edwin had defined white collar crimes based on the status of the criminal who committed the crime. However, since there has been debate on what a White collar crime should be defined as, there are three major theories. Some seem to think that White collar crime is defined on the status of the person committing the crime; others think that it is defined by the crime that was committed; and finally the other popular opinion is that white collar crime is defined by the “organizational culture”. Some white collar crimes defined by the FBI are commonly categorized as fraud, embezzlement, bribery, counterfeiting, and among many others property crime. According to the Lawyer Referral Service of Central Texas, the Blue collar crime term also from the early 1900’s and described workers who worked in labor jobs such as construction workers, plummers, mine workers, or jobs that required one to get down in the “dirt”. These workers typically wore blue uniforms and were poorly compensated for their work. The blue collar crimes that were considered under this category are those such as assault, murder, petty theft, or sex crimes. These crimes tend to have more serious consequences than those

of white collar crimes. Question 8 Which of the following National Crime Victimization Survey topics is not included in the NCVS study.
