The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) has the potential to provide greater detail to a broader range of offenses than the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) as it collects data on each individual crime occurrence, regardless of whether or not an arrest was made. In contrast, UCR only reports the number of arrests made for specific crimes, limiting its scope and specificity. The NIBRS is also able to capture information on additional offenses that are not included in the UCR. Therefore, NIBRS is a better choice to provide greater detail and a broader range of offenses compared to UCR.
