Background and Methodology As a research associate of Noah-Dankel research, I have been assigned the task of comparing the occurrence of criminal activities in Carterton to the crime in similar cities. In order to get an accurate comparison; several factors had to be taken into consideration. The type of crimes committed (crimes against people and crimes against property), the population of each city and the percent change in numbers of crimes in the previous year. SummaryThe records show that Carterton is indeed experiencing increases in crime that are similar to increases other cities are being challenged with. The numbers also show us that Carterton has seen a much larger rise in crimes against property. The most significant increases are in robberies and auto theft. There has been 293% increase in robberies over the past year. Carterton has also experienced 58% increase in auto theft. The other cities examined did not experience such noticeable increases in these categories. The total percent change of Cartertons crime rates is very similar to those of other cities due to low increases or decreases in crimes against people.PreviewIn this report I will illustrate how the crime problems in Carterton compare with those of four other cities in the area; Worthburg, Alden, Gannville, and Idelton. I will divide the types of crimes into two categories; crimes against people and crimes against property. I will compare the crime rates by examining the statistics from last year and the year before and examining percent change between the two years. The main motive behind this project is to report how Cartertons crime problems compare with those of other cities.FindingsCrimes against peopleCarterton had a 20% increase in homicides in the last year. This increase is very comparable to the increases other cities have seen. Idelton showed the highest increase at 64%. Alden experienced little change with only a 5% increase. Worthburg experience a...
