Incident-Based Reporting

Incident-Based Reporting is a detailed way of recording crime data that captures specific information about individual criminal events. Unlike summary reports that aggregate data, incident-based reports include details such as the types of crimes, locations, times, victims, offenders, and circumstances for each incident. This approach allows law enforcement agencies, policymakers, and researchers to analyze patterns, understand causes, and develop targeted crime prevention strategies more effectively. It provides a comprehensive picture of criminal activity, enabling more informed decision-making and resource allocation.
