             more traditional types of crime. Traditional types of crime being street crimes
             and fails to examine more serious crimes, such as murder. We should not
             overlook the common flaws that may occur in the process of data collection
             that may flaw the end result as well. Two different types of errors random
             errors and systematic errors alter data conclusions. We will first look at
             random errors. These are errors that are made with similar frequency and in a
             random fashion in either way of the mean. When results that are incorrect and
             errors in data measurement fall on both side of the mean evenly, in the end
             they will balance each other out. For example, in some areas the rate may be
             over reported where in others they may be underreported. The error is
             randomized if we assume that they do balance each other out. However, we
             cannot rely that the uneven distribution will always be equitable. The second
             error is namely, systematic errors. These errors are inconsistent among each
