I’m working on a writing discussion question and need guidance to help me learn.
Question 1
- Prompt: Access the Uniform Crime Report: https://www.ucrdatatool.gov/ (Links to an external site.). Explore the various methods of reporting crime statistics to state and federal agencies. Describe your navigation search steps. What do you see as problems with these reporting methods? Locate one data set for your city or state. Are any discriminatory practices evident during your search?
- Question 2
- Prompt: Historically, one form of indirect institutional discrimination has involved height and weight requirements for police officers and firefighters. In San Francisco, for example, many Asian Americans did not meet height and weight requirements for police and fire departments; the requirements had been established based on existing personnel, most of whom were white males. Requirements were modified after a series of lawsuits. Discuss institutional discrimination that still takes place today. Provide a brief description of a case shown in media that is believed to be based on institutional discrimination.
