Often these surveys are administrated to school-age children or college students to measure drug use, driving while intoxicated offenses, underage drinking, and consensual crimes. The data from self-reports often indicate that UCR data regarding crimes reported to the police greatly underestimate the rate of actual offending for certain crimes, such as illegal drug use.
