CJ 315 Project Two Guidelines and Rubric

Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:

Analyze how victimization data informs problem solving in criminal justice

Scenario
You are a crime analyst who has been hired by Pete Costa, the police commissioner in the city of Mason, to analyze an area of crime and

victimization data. For this task, you will use the following sources of data: Bureau of Justice Statistics, the Federal Bureau of Investigation

Internet Crime Complaint Center, and the Polaris Project (which runs the National Human Trafficking Hotline). You will examine the data on

rape/sexual assault, cybercrime, or human trafficking for the most recent year available. You will then present to the police commissioner a

clear and sustainable plan to help reduce the risk of victimization. The plan will include the data examined, an explanation of how the data was

collected, risk factors that increase the likelihood of being a victim of crime analyzed in the data, how victimization data can be applied to

address problems in the criminal justice system, and identification of a National Institute of Justice program that can address the crime data

analyzed.

Directions
Using the provided scenario and the data for one of the crimes below (the same crime you chose in the Module Four assignment), create a

written plan to reduce the risk of victimization for the crime selected.

2. Summarize the program or practice.

3. Explain how the program or practice may reduce the risk of victimization for the crime selected.

What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:

For this assignment, create a 750- to 1,000-word written plan regarding the data analyzed, and focus on reducing the risk of victimization for

the crime selected. Any sources should be cited according to APA style.
