Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Uniform Crime Reporting Survey is the official survey used by Statistics Canada that collects and reports police-reported crime statistics. The National Crime Victimization Survey and the General Social Survey - Victimization are surveys that collect data on victimization experiences and are not directly used for official police statistics. The Crime Severity Index is a statistical measure used by Statistics Canada to account for the relative seriousness of different crimes, but it is not the name of the survey used to collect the data.
