Urban Void

An analysis of VI CAP submissions revealed that the cities and urban areas that were recording large numbers of homicides were not submitting the cases to the national database. No one could explain why this was the case. The assumption that VI CAP misconceptions were prevalent—for example, only unsolved cases were wanted for the national database—did not provide an adequate explanation. Case closure rates in large cities were less than 100 percent, suggesting that even if law enforcement agencies did not understand which cases could be forwarded, many more cases should be arriving for the national database.
