Project instructions:
Assignment: Choose a crime such as murder, white collar crime, or hate crime, and then compare or contrast Texas or your local municipality?s crime rates/statistics with those of the United States. Note especially those
percentages or rates that are different from the national average. Include race and gender if possible. You may document your crime statistics in a table, chart, or similar form and then submit it for grading. An example is if you
choose an incident about the murder of an African-American male, you would definitely want to research the number of African-American males murdered in your locale in comparison to those murdered in the U.S. during the
same time period. You may find crime statistics on federal or state Agency websites.
