Abstract
In recent years practitioners, policy makers, and researchers have questioned the utility of the standard set of crime measures derived from the data collected by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. They have called for viable reporting options that do not burden law enforcement and that utilize available information. Using these criteria, this article presents recommendations for an enhanced set of community-level crime measures. These measures are designed to service the information needs of law enforcement as well as the information needs of the many audiences that depend on (or could benefit from) law enforcement statistics.
