Answer:

  1. A. Many crimes go unreported, often due to victims' fear, shame, or distrust of the police.
  2. A. social deviation

Explanation:

The Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) of the FBI has been immensely helpful in the solving of crimes by including details of crimes that law enforcement know about thereby allowing other law enforcement agencies to make comparisons that can solve crimes.

The problem however, is that only crimes that are reported or known about, make it to the reports and with there being so many crimes that don't get reported, the UCR is an incomplete measure.

A Social deviation refers to any activity that goes against the social norms of an area be it official norms (laws) or unspoken ones. Rosa Parks went against segregation laws which were official norms so this was a case of social deviation.
