In physics, a wave is an oscillation accompanied by a transfer of energy that travels through space or mass. Frequency refers to the addition of time. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, which may or may not displace particles of the medium âthat is, with little or no associated mass transport.Waves consist, instead, of oscillations or vibrations (of a physical quantity), around almost fixed locations.ave motion transfers energy from one point to another, which may or may not displace particles of the medium âthat is, with little or no associated mass transport.

If the national clearance rate for burglary is only 12.6% (and in the single digits in some Texas cities), then punishing the few burglars who're caught more harshly makes only a small dent in crime.he national clearance rate for serious crimes in 2006 - i.e., the percentage of reported crimes solved, by police according to the new Uniform Crime Report-seems awfully low to me:
Figure III illustrates the national crime clearance rate from 1950 to 1995 for violent crimes (nonnegligent homicide, forcible rape, aggravated assault and robbery). As the numbers show, violent crime clearance rates were fairly stable from 1950 to 1965, generally hovering at or above 60 percent.They even increased slightly from 1962 to 1965. Then, in the three years following Miranda, the rates fell dramatically-to 55 percent in 1966, 51 percent in 1967 and 47 percent in 1968.his means that clearance rates understate Miranda 's effects. The number of violent crimes solved fell about 25 percent after Miranda.. The Decline in Clearance Rates. Surprisingly, no one has made a close examination of the national data from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports.
