Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is a more important kind of data on violence collected by the Department of Justice, as it provides information on both reported and unreported crimes, including those that may not have been reported to law enforcement agencies. This survey also collects important information on the nature and extent of victimization, including demographic characteristics, victim-offender relationships, and the use of weapons. The Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) only collect data on crimes reported to law enforcement agencies and do not capture information on unreported crimes. The Bureau of the Census Annual Report and U.S. Government Documents, while useful, do not provide specific data on crime and violence.
