Scenario In June of 2016 you begin your first week as an intern at the Happy Town Police Department. As an intern, you develop a good rapport with Police Chief Rodney Hurt.
On the second week of your internship you begin to ask questions (of the police officers you have been working with at the department) concerning the Uniform Crime Rate. You tell them you are taking a class at Strayer University and are interested in gaining a better understanding of statistics and the application of statistics to law enforcement.
The following day you are greeted by Sergeant Gunn. She provides you with Part I crime data over the past five years that were submitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the Uniform Crime Report. The Part I information provided to you by Sergeant Gunn is a compilation of crime data drawn from four areas: Happy Town, Frown Town, Smooth Town, and Cool Town.
After a review of the crime trends, you are alarmed at the rate of crime reported in these four towns. You are now curious to dig a little deeper and make some comparisons across the data provided to you.

Uniform Crime Reporting By Tamara Fearless, Special to the Happy Town Tribune
March 5, 2016
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has been the
starting place for law enforcement executives, students of
criminal justice, researchers, members of the media, and
the public at large seeking information on crime in the
nation. The program was conceived in 1929 by the
International Association of Chiefs of Police to meet the
need for reliable uniform crime statistics for the nation. In
1930, the FBI was tasked with collecting, publishing, and
archiving those statistics.
Today, four annual publications, Crime in the United States,
National Incident-Based Reporting System, Law
Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, and Hate Crime
Statistics are produced from data received from over
18,000 city, university/college, county, state, tribal, and
federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily participating
in the program. The crime data are submitted either
through a state UCR Program or directly to the FBI’s UCR
Program.
In addition to these reports, information is available on the
Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA)
Program and the Hate Crime Statistics Program, as well as
the traditional Summary Reporting System (SRS) and the
National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS).

Shoplifting a Problem at the Socks for Feet
By Tamara Fearless, Special to the Happy Town Tribune March 5, 2016
Happy Town, GA. — Three people were arrested Friday after police say a shoplifting incident led officers to drugs and a stolen gun. Happy Town Police say two men stole three dozen pairs of socks from Socks for Feet and were stopped in the parking lot. A third suspect was found in a vehicle outside the store.
According to a release, investigators found a substantial amount of crack cocaine and marijuana in the suspects’ possession.
Officials later searched a vehicle and hotel room connected with the suspects and found a stolen handgun and more marijuana, according to a release. They also found an unregistered handgun during the search.
The suspects were arrested on charges of theft of property, possession with intent to deliver cocaine, possession with intent to deliver marijuana, felon in possession of a firearm and felony firearms. They will be identified pending formal arraignment.
Police Chiefs Son Arrested Again
Happy Town, GA. — The son of Happy Town’s Police Chief has found himself on the wrong side of the law again after being charged with multiple charges on Tuesday. Online arrest records show 24-year-old Bubba Hurt, the son of Chief Rodney Hurt, was arrested at the Socks for Feet. It is his second arrest in less than a year. Last July, Hurt turned himself into authorities after he was accused of leaving a bar without paying his tab. Police said the charges stemmed from a dispute over a bill at the Ugly Monkey Party bar on West Prison Street.

Democratic Process an Analytical Essay
Most Americans share a similar political culture, including a belief that open and fair
elections are essential to maintaining a strong democracy in the United States.
Leading up to the 2016 presidential election, 16 government intelligence agencies independently investigated the security issues, and concluded that the Russian government engaged in the hacking of various elections related platforms, in an effort to interfere with the US election process. Read the following:
Joint Statement from the Department Of Homeland Security and Office of the Director of National Intelligence on Election Security: “The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. The recent disclosures of alleged hacked e-mails on sites like DCLeaks.com and WikiLeaks and by the Guccifer 2.0 online persona are consistent with the methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts. These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the US election process. Such activity is not new to Moscow—the Russians have used similar tactics and techniques across Europe and Eurasia, for example, to influence public opinion there. We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities (October 7, 2016).”
Answer the following questions in analytical essay form:
1. How important is democracy in the United States?
a. In your essay identify and define the essential principles (elements) of the shared political
culture in the United States.
2. How important is it to you that a foreign country interfered in US elections?
a. Does it matter that the foreign interference originates in a country that does not share the same political culture as the US, or other Western democracies?
b. What would you expect to replace democracy in the US?
