Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uniform Crime Reports for the United States, 1972 The crime information in the Uniform Crime Reporting publications which date back to the commencement of this Program in 1930 is a testimonial to the wisdom and progressive outlook of law enforcement administrators. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program is the product of a voluntary cooperative law enforcement effort to produce national crime statistics. Approximately law enforcement agencies, covering 93 percent of the United States population, submit monthly and annual reports to the fbi so that information can be assembled to depict the current crime problem in the United States. National crime information would not be available for use by local, state, and Federal governments in planning and developing means of combatting the crime problem without the voluntary participation of law enforcement agencies. Uniform Crime Reports is a practical Program in that each contributing law enforcement agency is responsible for submitting data in accordance with national crime definitions and standards. Much of the quality in this Program is directly related to the degree of adherence to Uniform Crime Reporting standards. In order to improve the overall quality of the information collected in the Program, the fbi in 1967 began encouraging the development of state Uniform Crime Reporting Programs. Under this concept, states are encouraged to pass mandatory crime reporting laws and designate a state criminal justice agency to collect and verify submitted crime data. Currently 14 states are operating such programs. As part of this concept, the state agency needs to develop audit capability designed to ensure that each law enforcement agency is following the national standards.
