Tired of such constant inconveniences, the pacifist tribes decided to leave after holding a secret meeting. They grouped themselves into three: one group to head for the north, another to the south, and the third to the west.

Measurements can be absolute, which references a single standard, or relative, which is dependent on context.

However, in their research, criminologists often draw on official figures as well. Methods There are several methods for the measuring of crime. Public surveys are occasionally conducted to estimate the amount of crime that has not been reported to police. Such surveys are usually more reliable for assessing trends. However, they also have their limitations and generally don't procure statistics useful for local crime prevention, often ignore offenses against children and do not count offenders brought before the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies in some countries offer compilations of statistics for various types ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
