that takes place.
o The figure is dark, or impossible to detect, because a great number of crimes
are never reported to the police.
o Victim surveys help reveal the actual amount of crime that occurs, but may not be reported to police.
For reasons of shame, embarrassment, lack of knowledge about the crime, or fear

o of reprisal, a victim may not report a crime to police, thus causing the dark figure of crime to exist.
o Higher victimization rates are revealed through victimization surveys than through the UCR, indicating the existence of the dark figure of crime.
