Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is a survey conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics to determine the number and types of criminal victimization experienced by samples of the U.S. population. The survey includes both reported and unreported crime, making it a valuable tool for understanding the true extent of criminal activity in the United States. The other options, such as the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and the Uniform Crime Report (UCR), rely on reported crime data from law enforcement agencies, and may not capture the full extent of criminal activity. The National Crime Offender Survey (NCOS) is a separate survey that focuses on the characteristics and behaviors of offenders, rather than victimization.
