The Bureau of Justice Statistics, in the Department of Justice’s Office of Justice Programs, released Crime Known to Law Enforcement, 2024 and The Nation’s Two Crime Measures, 2015–2024 recently.
Crime Known to Law Enforcement, 2024 presents national and subnational estimates of crime offenses and victimizations for violent and property crime. Findings in this report, the second in an annual series, are based on BJS’s and the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Estimation Program. NIBRS collects detailed information on crime incidents reported to law enforcement throughout the United States.

The Nation’s Two Crime Measures, 2015–2024 presents rates of violent and property crime from BJS’s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) and the NIBRS Estimation Program’s Summary Estimates for the most recent ten year period (2015 to 2024). The NCVS measures nonfatal criminal victimizations, reported and not reported to police. The NCVS and NIBRS collections have different purposes; use different methods; and measure a set of criminal offenses which are similar, but not identical. Taken together, the information they produce provides a comprehensive understanding of crime in the United States.
