Criminology Third Meeting
First, a little class business.
As you know, this class meets three times a week. However, due to your excellent work in the class thusfar, I have decided to make Tuesday's session an Open Lab day starting tomorrow. Attendance will not be required, but there will be a class meeting. I will be there for any questions you may have, you may use the time to work on your assignments and readings if you'd like, and there will be additional information available on the topic for those students who are interested in learning about the subject matter beyond the assigned readings and lectures. I will also be bringing in pieces of lab equipment for you to experiment with if you are interested. This may be helpful for you when we talk about some of the issues surrounding the field of forensics and evidence collection. Monday and Thursday meetings will run as they have been.
I hope you did your reading. You will not be quizzed on it, as I graded everyone for your participation in last class. There will be a quiz on Thursday. It will be on basic criminology terms. Here is your study guide. Please take one when you leave.
In today's class, we are going to discuss the validity of the three major methods of assembling crime statistics.
Very short lecture explaining the three terms.
I would like you to share in class today which method you believe has the most merit. Uniform Crime Reports, National Crime Victimization Survey, or Self Report Studies? Please feel free to debate with your classmates, and ask any questions you may have.

I'm however sure that that NCVS and SRS have their own merits and it's beneficial to get a look into crime through the eyes of both victim and perpetrator. Just as long as you keep in mind that both reports will probably be rather one sided.
