Question 20

Multiple Choice

The Uniform Crime Report reported 16,214 homicides in the United States in 2018. If based on this data, I was to make the claim: "…there were 16,214 murders in the United States in 2018", why would it be inaccurate?


A) The UCR is known to be full of clerical errors sent in by local police with sloppy records.
B) This number does not include the "dark figure of crime."
C) Some of the perpetrators of those homicides may be acquitted once they go to trial, so it would be inaccurate to refer to those crimes as murder.
D) Not all perpetrators of homicide will be arrested, and some may escape justice.
