Crime profile – First, identify which District of the Baltimore Police Department serves this neighborhood. Then using the 2020 data reported by BNIA, create graphs that present Total Part 1 crime rate, property crime rate, violent crime rate
§ Comparison: Neighborhood v. State v. National (Note: Because both state and national data report these figures in rates per 100,000, you will have to convert those #s to a rate per 1,000 to match the neighborhood level data)
Homicide rate: UCR data – be sure to match year reported in BNIA
• Comparison: Neighborhood v. State v. Nation
Create separate graphs to illustrate # of non-fatal shootings and narcotics calls in 2020 (BNIA data)
§ Comparison: Neighborhood v. Baltimore City
o Using the data from Part II (e.g., community profile), the group must identify which 3 factors/indicators you believe are the most significant contributors to your neighborhood’s crime rate, either directly or indirectly. Each of these factors must be one of the indicators/variables you presented in your profile.
o Explain the relationship between each factor and crime from a theoretical perspective … in other words, which theory would best explain the relationship between each specific indicator (e.g., it is an
5
independent variable in the theory map) and the community’s crime problem.
