Describe the UCR/NIBRS and NCVS programs. Discuss the problems and criticisms of each program. Compare and contrast the two programs
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Answers should include a description of each program, as well as the criticisms of each. Students should emphasize the difference between a reporting program (UCR/NIBRS) and a self-report program (NCVS) and how the type of program affects the information obtained. Some discussion of the dark figure of crime should be included. Answers should also review the similarities and the significant differences between the two programs.
