Which term refers to quantitative data reflecting crime occurrences and trends?

• A. Crime Statistics
• B. Incidence of Crime
• C. Security Issues
• D. Campaign for Change

Answer: (A)

Quantitative data showing how often crimes occur and how those patterns change over time is captured in crime statistics. This includes counts, rates (such as crimes per 100,000 people), and trends across years and places, all gathered by police, government agencies, and researchers. These statistics let you compare crime levels between areas, monitor changes over time, and evaluate policy impacts. The other terms refer to topics or concepts rather than the numerical data set: security issues are safety concerns, campaign for change is advocacy work, and while the incidence of crime describes occurrences, the standard term for the numerical data on crime and its trends is crime statistics.
