Use Uniform Crime Report (UCR) statistics to analyze interval variables for violent crimes over a 5-year period. The information needed to complete this assignment is conveniently accessed by clicking the links in the Project Resources below.

To get started, click the image below to access the Step-by-Step Instructions for using the data set in the Microsoft Excel software.
Use the data set provided by clicking the link below for the Uniform Crime Report data. Copy and paste this data into the Microsoft Excel software.
Use this information to create descriptive statistics to analyze the types of crimes that are committed and the variance between crimes from 2008 and 2012.
Create and recode the variables to produce a table and a chart illustrating the variance between crimes from 2008 and 2012.
Display your findings by creating appropriate tables and graphs using the data you downloaded to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Present the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet as a table in a Microsoft Word document; be sure to include the tables and graphs you created to support your analysis of the data and state your conclusions about the variance in the types of violent crimes between 2008 and 2012.
