If we record the ground motion at a single location for a range of time, we can measure the time between peaks in the motion, which we call the wave period. Another important term is frequency, which is the inverse of the period, or one divided by the peak-to-peak time between wave crests.

The UCR is the national âreport cardâ on serious crime; what gets reported through the UCR is how we, collectively, view crime in this country. Police departments submit data on reported crimes and arrests to the UCR SRS. Even though most states have more expansive definitions of rape in their criminal codes, they had to report the smaller number of crimes falling under the more narrow UCR SRS definition. This meant that the statistics that were reported nationally were both inaccurate and undercounted.
