critics of the uniform crime reports (ucr) note that the reports do not accurately reflect crime rates because
a) they are based on international data gathered only from industrialized nations.
b) law enforcement officials routinely underreport crime statistics to make it appear as though they are doing a good job at crime prevention.
c) they include only those crimes reported to law enforcement agencies; they dont, for example, include crimes reported to other agencies, such as the irs.
d) some crime rates tend to be exaggerated by ambitious district attorneys.

Explanation:

The Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) rely on data from law enforcement agencies. Crimes not reported to them (e.g., to other agencies like the IRS) are excluded. This leads to an incomplete picture of crime rates. Option a is wrong as UCR is US - based. Option b is an extreme claim - not all law enforcement officials underreport. Option d is not a general criticism of UCR.

Answer:

C. they include only those crimes reported to law enforcement agencies; they don't, for example, include crimes reported to other agencies, such as the IRS.
