Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The method of estimating crime in the United States that is based on self-reports from households is the NCVS (National Crime Victimization Survey). The UCR (Uniform Crime Report) is based on data collected by law enforcement agencies, while the NIBRS (National Incident-Based Reporting System) is a newer system that collects more detailed information than the UCR. SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) is a statistical software program and not a method for estimating crime.
