CASE 2.1

Your local police department is concerned with this year’s most recent crime statistics. The police chief meets with city officials and his higher-ranking police personnel. They meet to discuss potential policies and procedures in order to reduce the crime rates in their city.

One improvement that pleases the police chief is that over 45% of all of the cities’ Part I crimes have resulted in arrest. When an offender is arrested and charged with a crime the offense is considered:

		Adjudicated.
		Cleared.
		Disposed.
		Finished.
