Answer:

It only provides data related to number of deaths investigated as potentially criminal homicides

Step-by-step explanation:

UCR (Uniform Crime Report) give main data on non negligent manslaughter's data.

It's major limitation is that they can provide criminologists only - number of deaths investigated by police as potentially criminal homicides. The issue is also related to data of weapon used.
