For my research, I will be making a connection between crime rates, and the amount of crime committed. Does the crime rate actually display the number of crimes commited, or are they just fabricated numbers? I will also be taking into account the process, and arithmetic used in producing these numbers. Also investigating the demography of these crimes, where and when, and if people actually report crimes in their neighborhood.
