Assignment Details
In the last 4 weeks, you have explored the development of the United States police service. You have learned about the fundamental principles shaping the police service, key reform periods, and several issues and challenges facing the service.

Homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, larceny-theft, and arson.

Develop a chart comparing the rates associated with each of the Part I offenses.
Develop a chart that displays the proportion of crime on each Part I offense.
