NIBRS is a system for reporting crime that is being used by more police agencies every year. UCR is the old method for collected less specific data than NIBRS and the report that comes out yearly with the analyzed data. Cons to these systems include that both of these systems only collect data on reported crime and that the UCR collection only allows for one crime to be reported per incident. A pro is that that the information is standardized across the US.
NIBRS First Movement - 2011 was released on: USA: 2011
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 the standard crime reporting measure. It collects data on 8 different index crimes and reports it every year. The National Incident Based Crime Reporting System still goes toward the UCR, but it collects more detailed information. The National Crime Victimization Survey is not based on police reports, instead it is based on a phone survey. It asks people if they've been victimized and whether they reported the crime.
The NIBRS is a data collection system which will report much more specific information than the current standard, the Uniform Crime Report. It is used by police stations all over the United States and sent to the FBI. The report itself is designed to compare crime rates across cities and over time.
There are 22 offenses in the NIBRS. They include bribery, burglary, and robbery. Data is also collected on other offenses not counted in those 22, like DUIs and runaways.
Pros of NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System) include increased detail and accuracy in crime reporting, better analytical capabilities for law enforcement, and improved data sharing among agencies. Cons may include the complexity and resource-intensive nature of transitioning to NIBRS from traditional reporting systems, potential privacy concerns with detailed incident data, and the need for ongoing training and support.
I'm not expert, but UCR has been used for decades to collect some basic info on every crime within its categories (major crimes). NIBRS is a newer initiative that tracks more detailed information, allowing for multiple vicims, multiple offenders,etc in order to capture more detailed info about each incident. Once implemented, more detailed questions can be answered about crime rather than jsut basic amanac statistics. ncvs is a random probability survey asked of household to determine if anyone has been the vicim of a crime. Thus its a better measure of the liklihood of being a victim that often inaccurate ccomplete inumerations such as nibs and ucr.
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.

The UCR only counts reported crime, and cannot speak for crime that is unreported.The UCR has 8 index crimes, and only counts crimes which fall into these categories.The UCR is not very detailed, and there are more detailed and accurate methods of reporting the data, such as NIBRS.
