Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Reliable and consistent data from both the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) indicates that the crime drop is real and not just a result of changes in reporting or measurement methods. It provides more credible evidence than just relying on one source of data.

Answer: B and C are incorrect 
 The fact that crime has dropped for two years in a row and is down in every city in the nation does not necessarily prove that crime drop is genuine. It could be a temporary fluctuation or caused by other factors such as changes in law enforcement strategies or economic conditions.

Answer: D is incorrect 
 While statistics themselves are objective, they are subject to interpretation and can be manipulated or distorted depending on the context and methodology used. Therefore, blindly trusting statistics without considering the underlying factors and limitations is not a reliable way to determine the authenticity of the crime drop.
