Which term relates to the techniques used to gather data on crime incidents?

• A. Methods of Collecting Crime Statistics
• B. Campaigns for Change
• C. Techniques Used to Gather Data on Crime Incidents
• D. Clear Explanation

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is understanding how researchers collect information about crime events. The best term is the one that names the actual practices used to gather data on crime incidents. It directly describes the techniques and tools involved—such as surveys, police and administrative records, and interviews—used to obtain incident data. That direct phrasing makes it the clearest match to what’s being asked. The other options veer away from data collection topics (campaigns for change or a generic explanation) or are more general in scope, so they don’t pinpoint the specific methods used to gather incident data as precisely.
