Index crimes are a key unit of analysis in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. The UCR program collects data on crimes reported to law enforcement agencies across the United States, including crimes such as murder, robbery, burglary, and aggravated assault.
That IS what it is called. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR).
Law enforcement agencies in the United States participate in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system. This includes federal, state, local, tribal, and campus law enforcement agencies that voluntarily report crime data to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for inclusion in the UCR program.
Different crime reports have different errors. The Uniform Crime Report overlooks unreported crimes. Offender self-reports are questionable because offenders are wary to admit guilt while in custody. The National Crime Victimization Survey asks questions of people who may not know the proper terms to describe their experience.
The uniform crime report was mandated by congress in 1930. It collects reports from all over the nation and analyzes that data so that it can be reasonably compared. The survey is done by the FBI with the help from all local police departments.

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.
