This viewpoint displays unbiased measures, it demonstrates what society believes is criminal as well as values, and it has since become more detailed and informative due to an increase in agencies providing data (Morden & Palys, 2015). Using this perspective, the UCR seems to be unbiased but because it only has data that is recorded by the police, it is not all that fair. Police officers do not record all reports that are reported and if it is not recorded, then it is not reflected in the UCR. This is an issue in the UCR, and in some part, Statistics Canada for not having the most accurate data being collected and presented to the public. As a result, there are many crimes that also go unreported and is also not reflected in the UCR or in statistics.
The UCR may indeed be based on crimes reported by the police but those reports are lower than the actual number of crimes committed due to the dark figure of crime and the dark figure of recording, making the UCR subjective to the officer’s interpretation of crimes. However, the General Social Survey is based off the public’s perception of their own victimization

T.R.P is considered a crime control while the S.R.O.P. is for crime prevention. The budget for both of these programs are consistently rising and they are exceeding the actual cost of juvenile daytime crime. T.R.P. showed low level of efficiency and the S.R.O.P show slightly higher levels of efficiency. However, both of these programs put out more than they were getting
During this era crime prevention program were funded for the community and police put together. This sort of policing is a plan focused on building ties and working closely with the people in our community to identify and settle problems. Community policing also target low level crime and disorder. I feel this current era perspective was formed because Reform Era and Political Era were not in good grace with citizenship.

UCR Aside from theories pertaining to victimology, crime reporting has been essential to developing theories in regards to providing a form of evidence that supports the theorist’s theory. Gathering statistical evidence from police departments is not the only way to formulate a theory for those theorists who chose to utilize that information in their theory. The Uniform Crime Report assembles official reliable data that has been manifested by the FBI.
