After reading the New Yorker article “The Trouble with Crime Statistics” and reviewing the videos and lectures about crime data, talk about your perspectives about the challenges with crime data in the United States.

Watch the two videos and the article and just give a 200-250 word response. No citing just an overall information answering the questions above.
