Define and compare and contrast the UCR, NIBRS, and the National Crime Victimization Survey
How does each system serve a purpose in collecting and reporting data? What is their value in fighting crime? Describe the FBI's UCR/NIBRS Program, including its purpose, history, and what it tells us about crime in the United States today.
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is a statistical reporting program run by the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) division. The UCR Program publishes Crime in the United States, which provides an annual summation of the incidence and rate of re-ported crimes throughout the United States.
The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is an incident-based reporting system that collects detailed data on every single crime occurrence. NIBRS data are replacing the kinds of summary data that have traditionally been provided by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program.
The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is an annual survey of selected American households conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics to determine the extent of criminal vic-timization—especially unreported victimization—in the United States.
