The NCVS does not measure which of the following crimes?

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) focuses on measuring the victimization experiences of individuals rather than providing data on crimes that are not reported to the police. One significant limitation of the NCVS is its exclusion of certain categories of crime that are not typically captured through self-reporting measures. Murder is a prime example of such a crime; it cannot be measured through surveys because, in the case of homicide, the victim is deceased and cannot provide the information needed for the survey.

In contrast, crimes like robbery, burglary, and aggravated assault can be reported by victims, allowing the NCVS to gather data on these offenses as they involve living victims who can describe their experiences. Thus, the correct choice highlights a key characteristic of the NCVS — its inability to address crimes that result in fatalities, making murder a crime that falls outside its measurement scope.
