Summary:

"Compares data from Federal Bureau of Investigation Summary Uniform Crime Reports and National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) for 1,131 agencies. Using data from 1991 to 1996, this study identifies which Index crime rates are most affected by NIBRS reporting and examines the extent to which rates change. The following underlying causes for these differences are investigated: structural differences; non-uniform reporting practices; reporting errors; software coding errors."--Publisher website
