 https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/crime-trend

           For the crime I chose for this weeks blog, was Vehicle Theft, also known as Grand Theft Auto. The first variable we look at is our starting number of vehicle thefts in the year 2021. In the United States there had been 49,276 reported by the local population, then there were around 5,715 United State Clearance cases that were filed. Then 72.73% of cases were covered by population coverage. These numbers then spiked over the years and reached its maximum in the year 2024.

           In the year of 2024, there were 87,528 cases reported by the population, reaching an increase of about 77.63% over the last three years. Then in the year of 2024 there were 7,701 cases that were then put through clearance, taking a 34.75 hike. Finally in the year of 2024, the number of United States percentage of population coverage took an increase to 91.37%, meaning it had gone up 18.64%.

            The ages of the victims and offenders vary, ranging from 0-90, the most common age being around 30-39 for both offenders and victims alike. The offenders were numbered at around 384,907, while the victims were numbered at 502,858. When it comes to the sex of offender and victim, most offenders are usually undefined, then the majority of the victims were male. When it comes to race, white people are the majority of reported car theft victims while most offenders are left undefined.

           When it comes to arrests, the most common sex arrested is male, coming in at 78.82%, meaning that only 21.18% are female. The most common age for both male and female offenders are varied but both have the most common ages ranging from 25-34, with each having two categories that are so close in number. Then when it comes down to race, the most common race to be reported is white offenders, coming in at 118,892 being reported, that equates to 69.82% of arrests.

            Two men were charged with interstate grand theft auto, Jones and Pappas and others had conspired to obtain stolen vehicles from car dealerships, rentals and other sources in the state of Georgia, Illinois or anywhere to move to Connecticut. They modified the vehicles VIN number of the stolen vehicles to hide their status as stolen vehicles. They also made false bills and titles to try and make the movement of these stollen goods easier to push across the state border. Pappas was later charged with conspiracy to grand larceny, with evidence with other co-conspirators via phone contact.

  SOCILOGICAL STUDY: The Marriage Paradox The Authors:   W. Bradford Wilcox ,  Alan J. Hawkins Weblink to the article:   https://doi.org/10.1002/pam.22637 Theory: The Marriage Paradox is a theory that is based on the increasing rate of divorces in the last six decades. The reason they found this is for a varying plethora of reasons, but the main one was the fact that the values and virtues that once upheld a long and loving marriage, one of these values being monogamy. The study then goes on to say that for men, women, and children that are in a marriage are said to be happier, healthier and financially more secure. However in more recent years the cultural demographic for marriage has been downplayed even though they have been proven to be true through study (for what we are to believe from the outside). Thus came the "Marriage Paradox", where marriage is viable, however it isn't exactly given credit where it is due. The Research Methodology: The study's Research s...

Community Diversity and Child Advocacy   Article: The Hidden Side of Migration: Understanding sexuality as an aspiration to migrate Authors: Dilvin Dilara Usta, Mustafa F. Ozbilgin  https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/sociology/articles/10.3389/fsoc.2022.1027268/full         The Article by Dilvin and Mustafa, is based around the "hidden side of migration" and this article dives into that theme being sexuality. The first point they make is that some places aren't exactly secure or safe for someone who fits outside the social norm. The study examines the sexuality and gender identity of these migrants leaving their home country to find a more welcoming and suitable home. The article then mentions something called the toxic triangle, which is a hostile environment, structures and cultures that hold away freedom to sexuality. This then leads to the vast migration of people who don't fit the norm, they risk getting put through imprisonment or even death...
