The survey targets the American population's attitudes towards police use of force. The chapter explains how to import the data using the haven package, transform categorical variables correctly, and employ the dplyr package for data manipulation. Additionally, it introduces the ggplot2 package for creating graphical representations of the data.

It explains the distinction between Part 1 (serious) and Part 2 (less serious) crimes and the limitations of the UCR due to underreporting. The chapter guides how to manipulate data in R, including renaming variables, calculating crime rates, and categorizing cities by population.

Crime analysts support law enforcement by uncovering trends, aiding investigations, and optimizing resource allocation. They also contribute to correctional settings and court proceedings by identifying security risks and assessing rehabilitation programs' effectiveness.
