General Issues in Research Design, Concepts, Operationalization, and Measurement, & Measuring Crime

2. Los Angeles police consider a murder to be gang-related if either the victim or the offender is known to be a gang member. In contrast, Chicago police record a murder as gang-related only if the killing is directly related to gang activities (Spergel, 1990). Describe how these different operational definitions illustrate general points about measuring crime. (Chapter 6, page 164).
