Answer to Question 1

The police report would likely be more accurate.
 A police report is generally made close in time to the incident, whereas the National Crime Victimization Survey could be conducted a long time later.
 The victim could forget or confuse details because of the amount of time that has past.
 A victim would also be less likely to purposely give false information to the police as opposed to a phone call that has no negative consequences.

Answer to Question 2

D
