Law enforcement agencies in large cities like New York, Los Angeles and Miami were among those that didn’t participate in 2021 crime data reporting amid the FBI overhaul. During that period, the FBI had to use “extensive estimation to handle the reporting of some of these large jurisdictions,” Charis Kubrin, Ph.D., a professor of criminology, law and society at UC Irvine, said. But, in 2022, the FBI said it would accept SRS data again. That’s why participation in the FBI’s crime data reporting program returned to higher levels beginning in 2022. “To provide nationally representative data, the FBI accepts Summary Reporting System (SRS) data from agencies that have not yet transitioned to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS),” the FBI spokesperson said.
