d

Answer to Question 2

The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is the major source of information on crimes

reported in the United States. The UCR has been compiled since 1930 by the Federal

Bureau of Investigation based on information filed by law enforcement agencies

throughout the country. The UCR focuses on violent crime and property crime (which,

prior to 2004, were jointly referred to in that report as index crimes) but also contains

data on other types of crime. Violent crime consists of actions involving force or the

threat of force against others, including murder, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault.

Violent crime receives the most sustained attention from law enforcement officials and

the media. Property crimes include robbery, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and

arson. Some offenses such as robbery are both violent crimes and property crimes. In

most property crimes, the primary motive is to obtain money or some other desired

valuable.
