Questions for Review and Discussion:
1. Recklessness is defined as conscious disregard of a substantial and unjustifiable risk. Negligence is the failure to be aware of substantial and unjustifiable risk.
2. The circumstance in which intentional killings is punished as manslaughter rather than as murder is when drunk drivers kill someone because they caused death recklessly.
3. Simple assault is distinguished form aggravated assault by the nature of the offender’s intent. With simple assault, the person’s intentions are to just to injure them, while aggravated assault the person’s intentions are to cause serious harm or death to them.
4. The difference between larceny and robbery is that with robbery, you are threatening the person or forcing them while larceny, you are depriving the owner.
5. The Uniform Crime Report presents an incomplete picture of true extent of crime because it only collects information on offenses known to the police because not all crimes are reported.
6. The advantage that the National Crime Victimization has over the UCR is that it asks that people to report the crimes anonymously, it includes information about each crime victim’s age, sex, race. Victimization surveys also provide a more complete picture of the risk posed by crime than do UCR data, because they count both reported crimes and those not reported to police.
7. The most common types of crime are: rape, robbery, aggravated assault, household burglary, larceny from the person, household larceny, and motor vehicle theft.
8. The reasons people give for not reporting crimes to the police are because some victims may fear embarrassment, public disclosure, or interrogation by the police. They may know the offender and may not want to inform the police of his or her identity, or a victim may feel that what was stolen was is not worth the effort to get the police involved.
9. The offenders and are more likely to be young because crimes involve force and or stealth and the younger generation are strong and agile. The victims are more likely to be young because they stay out late at night more than the older generations do.
