Describe the historical development of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program, and list the crimes on which it reports

How is the ongoing implementation of the National Incident-Based Reporting System changing the UCR program? How will data reported under the new UCR/NIBRS differ from the crime statistics reported under the traditional UCR program?


• The UCR program began in the 1930s and provides annual data on the number of re-ported Part I offenses (major crimes such as murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, motor vehicle theft, and arson) and Part II offenses (less serious crimes including drug and driving offenses). Although the UCR traditionally only provided summary data, the NIBRS gathers many more crime details, such as place of occurrence and weapon used, as well as disposition of the complaint.
