The uniform crime report's pros are that the final data is independent of population and readily available. The major con is that it is based only on reported crimes. There is no way to quantify crimes that go unreported.

The national crime victimization survey focuses on unreported crime by asking people if they've been victimized and whether they reported it. Although this is a large pro, a con is that it is easy for the people being interviewed to lie.
