1. Discussion Board (can be single spaced. No title or reference needed)

This week we read in-depth about the NCVS and the UCR and the victimization data that they provide. This information is important to Victimologists during the course of their studies of victimology. Looking at the graphs presented in chapter 4 of Andrew Karmen’s “Crime Victims: An Introduction to Victimology” you notice that all of the NCVS and UCR data show that victimizations have been decreasing since the 1990s. Identify and discuss two reasons you feel could be possible for the decrease in crime and victimization.

2. ASSIGNMENT

Jeffrey Dahmer

Review the case of Jeffrey Dahmer, on pages 156-157 of Eric W. Hickey’s “Serial Murderers and their Victims” and write a 400-word essay discussing the case study.

Your essay should have an introduction summarizing the criminal and case, a body that discusses the issues surrounding the case (how were they able to avoid being caught for so long – personality of the offender, lack of evidence available, lack of technology, etc.), and what led to their arrest and prosecution, and a conclusion that discusses the outcome of their prosecution along with what changes could have been made along the way which might have led to an earlier arrest.

Use EBSCO Host or Google Scholar to find the case legislature or court documentation that discusses the prosecution outcome. Be sure to include this reference on your reference page. Please follow APA guidelines; provide a title and reference page, use Times New Roman 12-point font, and double-space your lines. The reference for the book is:

Hickey, E. W. (2016). Serial murderers and their victims, (7th ed.). Boston, MA: Cengage Learning.
