These findings gleaned from twice a year interviews with 129,000 randomly selected people aged 12 and older showed that nearly 70 percent of motor vehicle thefts Are reported while less than half of rapes and other violent crimes arc reported. Among other things the report May give impetus within the Federal Law enforcement establishment for upgrading and improving the Quality of crime statistics compiled by the Fri. In fact Steven r. Schlesinger director of the statistics Bureau revealed recently that a wide ranging plan to improve the Fri s uniform crime report is being evaluated by the office of management and budget. Among other things a revamped feb crime reporting system would rely More heavily than in the past on statistics that indicate the types of people who commit crimes rather than merely showing the vol ume of reported crimes.
