What is the Uniform Crime Report? What are Part I and Part II Crimes?
Each year, the San José State University Police Department submits a report to the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (as does every law enforcement agency in the United States). This report is known as the Uniform Crime Report (UCR). The FBI releases the Uniform Crime Report to the public each year.
