For this Assignment, create a narrated PowerPoint presentation about the crime trends in your state. In a minimum of 15 PowerPoint slides (excluding the cover and references slides), addresses the following items:

• Your states homicide numbers from the UCR (which will include not only homicide but non negligent manslaughter) from 1995-2019 (past 25 years)
• The rates for those years
• Are the rates going up or down? That is, what are the trends?
• How does your states rate compare with the national rate?

PowerPoint Format:

• Use the slide notes section in the presentation to include information that follows your narration, being sure to follow the conventions of Standard English.
• Slide content should include brief points that identify the areas that will be addressed in the narration.
• In-text citations should be included with any brief points that were researched from outside sources and the narration should fully explain the points
• Cite all sources on a separate reference slide at the end of the PowerPoint and reference each source in the body of the presentation using APA format.

Narration Guidelines:

• Maintain a persuasive tone by summarizing observations and evaluations for each slide.
• Ensure that your presentation is highly ordered, logical, and unified.
• Words should be clearly enunciated and professional tone should be sustained throughout the presentation narration.
• Audio recording should be free of background noise and interruptions.
