    First we need to understand what Uniform Crime Report is:

    Uniform crime report is a data of information containing all the crime that has been committed in the united state that is always published by the federal bureau pf investigation (FBI).

    There are two main method of gathering this data or information and it includes:

    The report declared by law enforcement agencies like the police. This type of report reflect crimes that were reported and recorded

    The problem associated with this method is that crime committed which are not reported are not accounted for are not published or recognized which makes the process not totally optimum.

    While the second is:

    Data gotten from the study of victims of criminal activities called VSC (victimization statistical surveys) which rely on individual memory and honesty and the problem associated with this kind of method is that it solely relies on victim ability to recall memory of the criminal scene or incident. This also makes the process not totally adequate.

    Effort made to address this challenge include the introduction of the NCV which is the National Crime Visualization Survey.
