To become part of the official data on crime, activities must be known to legal officials and must be appropriately labeled by them.
Activities become known to the police, and hence become eligible for official labeling as crimes, in two ways. The most common way
is for a member of the public to notify the police of a "crime" or "possible crime." The less common way is for the police to directly
witness an activity that they then label crime. Police rely heavily on citizens bringing suspected crimes to their attention. This means
that most actions that eventually become official crimes do so only because they have been evaluated as "crimes" or "possible
crimes" by the public, who then bring them to the attention of the police. Here we see the importance of unofficial (public)
evaluations and behavior in the production of official crime data.
A criminal activity
B
direct witnessing of criminal behavior
C) evaluating possible crimes
D collection of official crime data
