Question

question 19
which of the following is the most widely used source of delinquency statistics?
a uniform crime report (ucr)
b school - based self - report surveys
c local police department arrest records
d national crime victimization survey (ncvs)

Explanation:

The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) is a widely - used source for crime and delinquency statistics in the United States. It is a comprehensive data - collection effort by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that aggregates crime data from law enforcement agencies across the country. School - based self - report surveys have limitations in representativeness, local police department arrest records are more local in scope, and the National Crime Victimization Survey focuses more on victims rather than overall delinquency statistics in the same way as the UCR.

Answer:

A. Uniform Crime Report (UCR)
