The uniform crime report is compiled by the FBI to allow people to compare crime rate between cities and over time. For example, crime rates from New York City can be compared to the crime rates in a small town.
The strengths:
- The final data is independent of population and is readily available to everybody.
- The data is taken from all police stations in the United States.
- The UCR differentiates between violent and property crime, so larceny is not on the same level as rape.
The weaknesses:
- The UCR only counts the crimes that are reported to the police, and is not the most detailed picture of crime possible in some areas. Some crimes are not reported when the victim either feels it's unimportant or is embarrassed to talk about it, and so that crime is not a part of the crime rate.
- Only counts 8 specific crimes. (There are 4 violent index crimes and 4 property index crimes.)
- The UCR is not very detailed. It reflects crimes in each category, but not other circumstances affecting the incident.
- The UCR is prone to small errors, For example, if a crime is labeled wrong it is discounted.

The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) provides consistent data on crime trends over time, allowing for meaningful comparisons across different regions and periods. It is compiled by the FBI and provides detailed information on various types of crimes reported by law enforcement agencies, making it a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers. Additionally, the UCR has a long history of data collection, which can help identify patterns and inform crime prevention strategies.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of the National Incident-Based Reporting System?
The NIBRS is a new methodology for the Uniform Crime Report. It is stronger than the UCR because it collects more detailed information about the crimes. One strength is the recording of relationships between the victim and offender, another is the use of 22 categories of crime, and another is the fact that multiple crimes can be reported in one incident.

The Uniform Crime Report is a report issued every year by the FBI. It collects information about crime from local police in every state, and turns that data into crime rates. It is called "uniform" because after the FBI takes into account population and population density, the crime rates are comparable between any two cities.
