SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONS
1. Using the NCVS report, identify two offense types to compare. These could be groups of offenses (i.e. total violent crime v. total property crime; total violent crime v. violent crime excluding simple assault) or specific offenses (i.e. aggravated assault v. simple assault; robbery v. motor vehicle theft, etc.). Identify which offense has a higher victimization rate and how reporting rates differ between the two (see table 4).
2. Lifestyle and routine activities are often shaped by social roles and constraints (rather than individual choice). Using the NCVS data, describe how victimization rates vary by one demographic factor (sex, age, income, location, etc.). How could the idea of constrained lifestyles help to explain these differences?
