The answer is: Uniform crime reports.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Court statistics: These are data collected from court records and proceedings. They provide information on the outcomes of criminal cases, such as convictions and sentences, but they are not specifically analyzed yearly by the FBI.

  2. Self-report surveys: These surveys ask individuals to report their own involvement in criminal activities. While useful for understanding unreported crimes, they are not the primary method used by the FBI for annual crime data analysis.

  3. Victimization surveys: These surveys, such as the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), collect data on individuals' experiences with crime, including unreported incidents. However, they are conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), not the FBI.

  4. Uniform crime reports: The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. The FBI compiles and publishes these reports annually, making this the correct answer.
