Option A correctly points out this unreported - crime issue. Option B is incorrect as law - enforcement reports do not primarily focus on white - collar and corporate crime and do not neglect street crime. Option C is wrong as they don't mainly focus on white - collar and corporate crime. Option D is not the main limitation compared to the unreported crime factor.

Answer:

A. Law enforcement reports provide detailed information on unreported crimes.
