What is the different between the UCR- Universal Crime Report and the NCVS- National Crime Victimization Survey?
The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is a program run by the FBI that collects data on crimes reported to law enforcement agencies, providing statistics on crime rates. The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and surveys individuals to gather information on crime victims and their experiences, including crimes not reported to the police.
What distinguishes the nvcs from the FBI's ucr?
The annual UCR(Uniform Crime Report) is based upon arrest data which law enforcement agencies in the US report to the FBI. The annual NCVS(National Crime Victims Survey) is based upon data which crime victims voluntarily report to the Bureau of Justice Stastics within the US Department of Justice.

How might the ncvs and the ucr or nibrs make better use of crime rates?
No system for collecting crime rates is perfect. The UCR could improve the value of the crime rates it produces by factoring in unreported crime. The NIBRS could improve the value of the crime reports it leads to by being implemented across the US.
What distinguishes the ucr vs nibrs vs ncvs?
UCR (Uniform Crime Reporting) is a summary-based reporting system that collects data on crimes reported to law enforcement agencies. NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System) provides detailed information about each crime incident, including victim and offender demographics. NCVS (National Crime Victimization Survey) collects data on crimes experienced by individuals, including those that are not reported to the police.

What are the major differences between the ncvs and the ucr and nibrs?
The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) collects data on crimes reported and unreported to the police and focuses on victimization experiences. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program collects data on crimes reported to law enforcement agencies and provides statistics on crimes known to police. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is an expansion of the UCR that provides more detailed data about each crime incident.
Why is homicide not measured in the NCVS?
The NCVS gathers information by surveying people who were victims of a crime. Homicide means murder. Anybody who was the victim in a murder would not be able to take the survey because they are dead.
