Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is a better source to evaluate crime statistics as it is a comprehensive, nationwide survey of victimization in the US, conducted annually by the U.S. Census Bureau and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. The Monitoring the Future (MTF) survey is conducted on drug use among US 8th, 10th, and 12th graders, the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is a crime reporting system used by law enforcement agencies, and the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is an annual report issued by the FBI containing crime statistics reported by police agencies. None of these are the best choice to evaluate crime statistics.
