I attached the rubric below

Using the FBI’s Crime in the United States 2016 (Links to an external site.) report under Offenses known to Law Enforcement click on Violent Crime and find Table #2 titled “Crime in the United States by Region, Geographic Division, and State, 2015-16.” From Table #2, 1) find and record the region (one of the following: Northeast, Midwest, South, or West) which had the highest “Violent crime,” “Rate per 100,000 in 2016″ and 2) record that crime rate. Again from Table #2, 3) find and record the region (one of the following: Northeast, Midwest, South, or West) that had the lowest “Violent crime,” “Rate per 100,000” in 2016, and 4) record that crime rate. Next, find Table #20 titled “Arrests by Age, 2016” (Hint: start from the homepage and use Persons Arrested link). From Table #20, 5) find and record the total percentage of people arrested “Ages under 15,” and 6) find and record the percentage of people arrested aged “65 and older.” Again, from Table #20, 7) find and record the age with the largest percentage arrested between the ages of 15 to 24. Finally from Table #20, 8) find and name the “Offense charged” (excluding “all other offenses except traffic”) with the largest number of arrests. Lastly, find Table #1 titled “Crime in the United States by Volume and Rate per 100,000 inhabitants, 1997-2016.” Using Table #1, 9) did the overall “violent crime rate” increase or decrease over those twenty years?
