What significant differences between the UCR/NIBRS and NCVS programs can be identified
What will be an ideal response?
NCVS programs are based on victim self-reports rather than police reports, as with UCR/NIBRS. Murder, kidnapping, victimless crimes, commercial robbery, and business burglary are not included in NCVS reports as they are in UCR/NIBRS. The UCR uses a hierarchical counting system, which counts the most serious incident in a series of criminal events against a single person. UCR/NIBRS counts crimes reported, whereas NCVS counts both completed and attempted offenses that may or may not have been reported to police. Researchers tend to rely on NCVS data more than UCR/NIBRS because it is a more accurate gauge of criminal incidents than police reports.
