I can see through these examples that crime measurements are sort of used for people sick reasons, specifically the last example. It reminds me in my old small town how a group of firefighter had this argument that crime in out town was raising because of a rise of Mexican descending people were moving to our town. It was this whole debate but luckily nothing ever came about it, but they tried to argue that they were all criminals and should leave.

This is kind of and eye opener for me because, although I knew rape was such a big problem, I didn't think it was this bad. These numbers are really showing me just how bad of a problem this is.

In my mind the survey would be amazing, but at the same time if it is not anonymous as a victim I'd be shared knowing a secret or something I have e been hiding will be discovered. So I could see how some people may fake their responses due to things like this.

There was more reasons why people dot report crime than I thought. The one about someone potentially committing a crime was crazy to me because I guess I always thought of victims as people that were in a crime not as people that could commit a crime.

It was crazy for me to read about how much can change in the data due to how certain things are handled and dealt with.

I will always find Hate Crimes to be a crazy thing that happens in society, but i'm glad that places take charge to make sure that people are prosecuted for crimes committed against minorities.

I didn't know that there was a branch of the FBI that was specifically used for Criminologists to collect data and figure out if policies were good or not. I find that really interesting.

Although criminology is a force that helps prevent crime, we can see that there are some things we can't predict like when someone who commits a crime doesn't get caught, even if it's small.

DiLulios claim caused a domino effect within the criminal justice system which in turn causes already arrested criminals or people standing trial to be sentenced longer and punished worse.

Dr. DiLulio is an example of the bias in the criminal justice and Criminology system. His lie probably revealed some people's fears to be true, thus growing their own personal biases and making it so people of color had to live in more fear of being treated badly or distrusted because of this lie.
