     (ii) based on that exchange of information and ideas, develop strategies to reduce crime;

     (iii) identify deficiencies in existing laws that have made them less effective in reducing crime and propose new legislation that could be enacted to improve public safety and reduce crime;

     (iv) evaluate the availability and adequacy of crime-related data and identify measures that could improve data collection in a manner that will aid in the understanding of crime trends and in the reduction of crime; and

     (v) conduct any other studies and develop any other recommendations as directed by the Attorney General.
