Victim surveys indicate that a large number of crimes are not reported to police. By using unit record data from the 1993 National Crime and Safety Survey, Carcach identifies the factors affecting Australians' willingness to report crime; analyses the significance this decision has on victims and the criminal justice system; isolates those factors which are influential in the decision to report crime; and discusses their implications for public policy and for future crime surveys. He deals with three offences: robbery, assault, and break and enter.

Every day we watch, read, and hear stories about crime and justice. This path-breaking book reveals how policy makers, criminal justice professionals, pressure groups, and the police compete in self-promoting struggles to shape their own images and the policy agenda. In a series of case studies, the authors pose a number of important questions. Does coverage of crime statistics promote fear of crime, or is the debate about the figures really about something else? By focusing on fear of crime have we underplayed public fear of authority? Does the coverage of sexual crime encourage voyeurism? And finally, is television's growing obsession with showing us stories of real crime more about entertaining the audience than about helping the police with their enquiries? The first new study in almost two decades of how specialist crime journalists work, this book brings to a wider public an influential new approach to the sociological study of journalism.

The Australian Bureau of Statistics' publication 'Crime and Safety Australia' presents findings from a household survey that collected data on the nature and extent of crime in the community. The results show that certain types of crime were more likely to be reported to police than others: generally household crimes were more likely to be reported than personal crimes. The crime most likely to be reported to police was motor vehicle theft (95 per cent reporting rate) followed by break-in (75 per cent) and robbery (50 per cent). The reporting rate for assault was 31 per cent, while for sexual assault only 20 per cent of victims reported the crime to police.

V. 1. The relationship between police response time, outcomes of calls for police assistance, and citizen crime reporting is analyzed in a study performed in Kansas City, Missouri. This study was conceived and developed to test the assumption that responding quickly to calls for police service will produce the most desirable outcomes, and to identify those problems and patterns which might affect how quickly a citizen reports a need for police service. The design of the study and data collection spanned 3 years, although the primary data were collected during 1975, in Kansas City. Trained civilian observers accompanied officers into the field to collect data on travel times and on-scene activities, while tape analysts collected dispatch time data by timing telephone and radio exchanges recorded by the communications unit. Interviewers questioned victims of crimes and citizens who reported crime and noncrime incidents or requested police service. The calls for service making up the data base came primarily from a target area selected for its high rates of robberies and aggravated assaults. The data covered the entire spectrum of police service, including both Part I and Part II crime calls, potential and noncrime calls, and traffic accidents. An introduction to the project is provided, and the setting of the subject area and the search are described. The examination of the sample design and the data collection process is illustrated by tables. -- v. 2. The analysis and findings of a Kansas City, Missouri. Study of the relationship between police response time, outcomes of calls for police assistance, and citizens, crime reporting are presented. This research was initiated to evaluate assumptions regarding rapid police response as an effective operational strategy and to identify problems and patterns which account for citizen delays in reporting crimes to the police. To test these assumptions, response time was conceptualized as consisting of three intervals: citizen reporting, communication dispatching, and police travel time. Variations in these intervals were then analyzed to see how they affected the probability of making an on-scene arrest, contacting a witness on-scene, and how they affected recovery from injuries sustained during the commission of Part I crimes. Additionally, the problems citizens encounter when reporting crimes and the patterns or actions citizens follow prior to reporting were identified and analyzed for their effects on reporting delays. Relationships between citizens' social characteristics and both reporting time and problems and patterns were analyzed. To see if the length of response time affected citizen satisfaction, police response times were again analyzed, with other factors considered to be possible determinants of citizen satisfaction. These factors included citizens' social characteristics, how long citizens expected response to be, citizens' perceptions of how long the response actually took, and how important citizens thought response time was to the outcomes of the incident they reported or in which they were involved. Statistical analysis is presented regarding response time, arrest, the effects of patrol procedures on response times and crime outcomes, witness availability, citizen injury, problems and patterns in reporting, the process of reporting, and citizen satisfaction; statistical summaries of each of these subject areas are provided in individual appendixes. Results indicate that reporting time was longer than either the time taken to dispatch a call or the time taken to travel to a call, and nearly as long as the combined time taken to dispatch and travel to a call. Response time was found to be unrelated to the probability of making an arrest or locating a witness for the large proportion of Part I crimes that were discovered after the crime had occurred. For those crimes involving a victim or witness, reporting time was the strongest time determinant of arrest and witness availability. Travel time generally had a limited effect on these outcomes, though for some types of crime the influence was strong. Citizen satisfaction was more closely related to citizens' expectations and perceptions about response time than actual response time. Problems citizens encounter and patterns they follow in reporting crime were identified and were found to produce delay in contacting police. Voluntary actions by citizens explained more delay in reporting than did problems experienced by citizens in contacting the police.

Findings and recommendations are presented from a study that examined factors affecting citizens' delays in reporting crime and their impact on the relevance of police response time to suspect apprehension. This study was a replication of a portion of the Kansas City Police Department's study entitled 'Response Time Analysis.' This study focused on citizen delays in reporting crimes to police in Jacksonville, Florida.; Peoria, Illinois; Rochester, New York; and San Diego, California. The study is based on interviews with over 4,000 victims, witnesses, and bystanders in some 3,300 serious crimes (aggravated assault, auto theft, burglary, larceny, rape, and robbery). Findings confirm the conclusion of the Kansas City study that citizen-reporting time, and not police response time, most affects the possibility of on-scene arrest and that when citizens delay in reporting crimes, efforts to reduce police response times have no substantial effect on arrest rates. Citizen delay time is relevant to apprehension only when the citizen is involved as the crime is being committed. In such cases, speedy reporting to the police combined with fast police response time increases the likelihood of apprehending the offender at or near the crime scene. Causes for citizen delay in reporting crimes include ambiguity about whether or not a crime is actually being committed, first priority given to coping with problems the crime has created, conflict about whether or not to call the police, no phone readily available, did not know the police telephone number, and trouble communicating with a person taking the call. Approaches that can reduce the influence of these factors in delaying crime reporting to police are discussed.

The criminal justice process is dependent on accurate documentation. Criminal justice professionals can spend 50-75% of their time writing administrative and research reports. Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals, Fifth Edition provides practical guidance--with specific writing samples and guidelines--for providing strong reports. Much of the legal process depends on careful documentation and the crucial information that lies within, but most law enforcement, security, corrections, and probation and parole officers have not had adequate training in how to provide well-written, accurate, brief, and complete reports. Report Writing for Criminal Justice Professionals covers everything officers need to learn--from basic English grammar to the difficult but often-ignored problem of creating documentation that will hold up in court. This new edition is updated to include timely information, including extensive coverage of digital reporting, updates on legal issues and privacy rights, and expanded coverage of forensics and scientific reporting. Important concepts are emphasized with related checklists and complemented by real-world example forms Each chapter concludes with a sample test for self-evaluating purposes Includes new and updated information on digital forms and data entry techniques
