Why would the National Criminal Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Program differ on data?
What will be an ideal response?
NCVS and UCR collect different data points. UCR focuses on pure number of crimes and NCVS focuses on many other factors associated with the crime. Although they collect different numbers, they usually tell the same story with the data. UCR only collects data from reported crimes to law enforcement, NCVS receives information from sources other than law enforcement, so it would receive information on crime that was not reported to law enforcement.
