Develop three charts comparing three different index crimes.

Index crimes: Willful Homicide, Forcible Rape, Robbery, Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Larceny over $50, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Arson.

For example you might select the crime of homicide and compare each country for the year 2012 and create a chart using available data.

While you may use any reliable sources (minimum of four), The World Factbook is a good starting point.
