One difference between victimization surveys and the Uniform Crime Report is:

victimization surveys are collected by the FBI but Uniform Crime Reports question a general sample of people.
Uniform Crime Reports include only reported crimes, while victimization surveys include both reported and unreported crimes.
O Uniform crime reports focus more on violent crime, while victimization surveys focus more on property crimes.
All of these

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Victimization surveys are not collected by the FBI. They are conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a division of the U.S. Department of Justice. These surveys aim to uncover the extent of criminal behavior in a population and its effects.

2. Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) are indeed compiled by the FBI. They include only crimes reported to the police, not those that go unreported.

3. Both UCR and victimization surveys include data on both violent and property crimes. However, the UCR focuses more on crimes reported to the police, while victimization surveys include both reported and unreported crimes.

So, the most accurate statement is: "Uniform Crime Reports include only reported crimes, while victimization surveys include both reported and unreported crimes." The other statements contain inaccuracies.
