The Uniform Crime Report is the standard crime reporting measure. It collects data on 8 different index crimes and reports it every year. The National Incident Based Crime Reporting System still goes toward the UCR, but it collects more detailed information.
The National Crime Victimization Survey is not based on police reports, instead it is based on a phone survey. It asks people if they've been victimized and whether they reported the crime.

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) collects data on crimes reported and unreported to the police and focuses on victimization experiences. The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program collects data on crimes reported to law enforcement agencies and provides statistics on crimes known to police. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is an expansion of the UCR that provides more detailed data about each crime incident.

How might the ncvs and the ucr or nibrs make better use of crime rates?
No system for collecting crime rates is perfect. The UCR could improve the value of the crime rates it produces by factoring in unreported crime. The NIBRS could improve the value of the crime reports it leads to by being implemented across the US.
What distinguishes the ucr vs nibrs vs ncvs?
I'm not expert, but UCR has been used for decades to collect some basic info on every crime within its categories (major crimes). NIBRS is a newer initiative that tracks more detailed information, allowing for multiple vicims, multiple offenders,etc in order to capture more detailed info about each incident. Once implemented, more detailed questions can be answered about crime rather than jsut basic amanac statistics. ncvs is a random probability survey asked of household to determine if anyone has been the vicim of a crime. Thus its a better measure of the liklihood of being a victim that often inaccurate ccomplete inumerations such as nibs and ucr.
What is the different between the UCR- Universal Crime Report and the NCVS- National Crime Victimization Survey?
The Uniform Crime Report is compiled from all U.S. police stations by the FBI, while the National Crime Victimization Survey is compiled from a phone survey. The UCR only counts reported crime, while the NCVS counts both reported and unreported. The UCR is compiled by people who are familiar with the vocabulary used to define crime, while the NCVS is compiled by people who have less knowledge of it.

People may not accurately report the crime that they have experienced. dr
