Two sources of data for the investigation of noncrash-related injuries are compared: police accident reports and a hospital emergency room monitoring system. Two main issues are considered: the extent to which these sources provide similar descriptions of the noncrash event, and an assessment of these data sources for investigation of noncrash events. Several critical features between the two types of data collection systems can be summarized from the analysis. First, reliance solely on police reports would indicate that there are very few cases of injuries as a result of noncrash events. Second, a narrow view of causes of injuries in noncrash events are found in the police report cases: most were ejections, while interior impacts were more common in the hospital cases. Third, noncrash events appear to be similar to other "household" accidents, with the injured child transported by the parent/guardian to the hospital. In summary, the police report investigations provide a limited view of the extent of noncrash events. Data sources such as hospital monitoring systems are more productive than police reports in studies directed at nonstandard traffic accident events, such as the noncrash.
警方事故报告和医院急诊室监测系统。考虑了两个主要问题：这些来源在多大程度上能提供关于非碰撞事件的相似描述，以及对这些数据来源用于调查非碰撞事件的评估。通过分析可以总结出这两种数据收集系统之间的几个关键特征。首先，仅依靠警方报告表明因非碰撞事件导致受伤的案例非常少。其次，在警方报告的案例中，对非碰撞事件中受伤原因的看法较为狭隘：大多数是被弹出车外，而在医院案例中车内碰撞更为常见。第三，非碰撞事件似乎与其他“家庭”事故类似，受伤儿童由父母/监护人送往医院。总之，警方报告调查对非碰撞事件的范围提供了有限的视角。在针对非标准交通事故事件（如非碰撞事件）的研究中，像医院监测系统这样的数据来源比警方报告更有成效。
