Answer to Question 1

Self-reported data are designed to measure criminal activity directly by asking people to report and describe their participation in criminal activity. Self-report surveys are typically anonymous or confidential so individuals feel more comfortable reporting their criminal involvement. These surveys are most often conducted with juveniles. These surveys typically include additional questions regarding peoples' attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviors. Self-report surveys are especially useful for victimless crimes and crimes that are often not detected or reported. Critics of these surveys argue that people will not be truthful when reporting criminal behavior. Also, those who are the most criminal are often not included in samples.
