UCR

UCR, or Uniform Crime Reporting, is a program managed by the FBI that collects and publishes data on crime incidents across the United States. It gathers information from law enforcement agencies about various crimes, such as theft, assault, and murder, to provide a consistent overview of crime trends nationally and locally. UCR helps policymakers, researchers, and the public understand patterns, allocate resources, and develop strategies for crime prevention. It relies on standardized reporting to ensure the data is comparable across different regions and over time, promoting transparency and informed decision-making.
