According to Frank Schmalleger’s (2009), Criminal Justice Today. An Introductory Text for the 21st Century, “the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program (also known today as the UCR/NIBRS Program)” creates a yearly summary of major crime called Crime in the United States. The UCR/NIBRS classifies crimes in two groups, Part I offenses and Part II offenses. Part I offenses are also known as majors crimes, which include the 8 major offenses: murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft, and arson. The purpose of major crime reporting programs is to keep the community, as well as the government informed, and to possibly make a difference in crime activity. According to Schmalleger (2009).
