Some have argued that age/crime curve is invariant. Why do they

3. Why do the differences between male and female participation in crime appear to be more extreme when we look at UCR Arrest data vs. Self-Report Data?
4. Is there a relationship between race and crime? What do each of the data sources tell us about this potential relationship? How about class and crime?
