National Crime Surveys: Cities Attitude Sub-Sample, 1972-1975

This subsample of the national crime surveys consists of
data on personal and household victimization for persons aged 12 and
older in 26 major United States cities in the period 1972-1975. The
National Crime Surveys were designed by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics to meet three primary objectives: (1) to develop
detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime,
(2) to estimate the numbers and types of crimes not reported to
police, and (3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of
crimes in order to permit reliable comparisons over time and between
areas. The surveys provide measures of victimization on the basis
of six crimes (including attempts): rape, robbery, assault, burglary,
larceny, and motor vehicle theft. The total National Crime Survey
employed two distinct samples: a National Sample, and a Cities Sample.
The cities sample consists of information about victimization in 26
major United States cities. The data collection was conducted by the
United States Census Bureau, initial processing of the data and
documentation was performed by the Data Use and Access Laboratories
(DUALabs), and subsequent processing was performed by the ICPSR under
grants from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). This Cities
Attitude Sub-Sample study also includes information on personal attitudes
and perceptions of crime and the police, the fear of crime, and the
effect of this fear on behavioral patterns such as choice of shopping
areas and places of entertainment. Data are provided on reasons for
respondents' choice of neighborhood, and feelings about neighborhood,
crime, personal safety, and the local police. Also specified are date,
type, place, and nature of the incidents, injuries suffered, hospital
treatment and medical expenses incurred, offender's personal profile,
relationship of offender to victim, property stolen and value, items
recovered and value, insurance coverage, and police report and reasons
if incident was not reported to the police. Demographic items cover
age, sex, marital status, race, ethnicity, education, employment, family
income, and previous residence and reasons for migrating. This subsample
is a one-half random sample of the Complete Sample, NATIONAL CRIME
SURVEYS: CITIES, 1972-1975 (ICPSR 7658), in which an attitude
questionnaire was administered. The subsample contains data from the
same 26 cities that were used in the Complete Sample.

Juvenile Defendants in Criminal Courts (JDCC):  Survey of 40 Counties in the United States, 1998

This is an independent sample of juvenile defendants drawn
from the State Court Processing Statistics (SCPS) for 1998 (see ICPSR
2038). SCPS 1998 tracked felony cases filed in May 1998 until final
disposition or until one year had elapsed from the date of filing.
SCPS 1998 presents data on felony cases filed in approximately
40 of the nation's 75 most populous counties in 1998. These 75
counties account for more than a third of the United States population
and approximately half of all reported crimes. The cases from these 40
jurisdictions were weighted to represent all felony filings during the
month of May in the 75 most populous counties. Data were collected on
arrest charges, demographic characteristics, criminal history,
pretrial release and detention, adjudication, and sentencing. Within
each sampled site, data were gathered on each juvenile felony
case. Cases were tracked through adjudication or for up to one
year. The source used to identify the upper age for juveniles and the
filing mechanism appropriate to each state was the OJJDP publication,
Trying Juveniles as Adults in Criminal Court: An Analysis of State
Transfer Provisions (December 1998).

Historical Statistics on Prisoners in State and Federal institutions, Yearend 1925-1986: [United States]

This data collection supplies annual data on the size of
 the prison population and the size of the general population in the
 United States for the period 1925 to 1986. These yearend counts
 include tabulations for prisons in each of the 50 states and the
 District of Columbia, as well as the federal prisons, and are intended
 to provide a measure of the overall size of the prison population. The
 figures were provided from a voluntary reporting program in which each
 state, the District of Columbia, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons
 reported summary statistics as part of the statistical information on
prison populations in the United States.

Gender of Prisoners Admitted to State and Federal Institutions in the United States, 1926-1987

This data collection includes tabulations of annual adult
 admissions to federal and state correctional institutions by gender
 for the years 1926 through 1987. The two data files have identical
 structures: Part 1 includes information on male admissions, and Part 2
 includes information on female admissions. The 3,348 cases in each
 part include one case for each of the 62 years of the collection for
 each of the following 54 categories: the 50 states, the District of
 Columbia, federal institutional totals, state cumulative totals, and
 United States totals (the sum of the federal and state cumulative
 totals). The figures were drawn from a voluntary reporting program in
 which each state, the District of Columbia, and the Federal Bureau of
 Prisons reported summary and detailed statistics, as part of the
 National Prisoner Statistics reporting series. Each file also includes
individual state and United States general population figures.

Criminal Victimization and Perceptions of Community Safety in 12 United States Cities, 1998

This collection presents survey data from 12 cities in the
United States regarding criminal victimization, perceptions of
community safety, and satisfaction with local police. Participating
cities included Chicago, IL, Kansas City, MO, Knoxville, TN, Los
Angeles, CA, Madison, WI, New York, NY, San Diego, CA, Savannah, GA,
Spokane, WA, Springfield, MA, Tucson, AZ, and Washington, DC. The
survey used the current National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)

Murder Cases in 33 Large Urban Counties in the United States, 1988

This study was conducted in an effort to better understand 
 the circumstances surrounding murder cases in large urban areas. To 
 evaluate the 75 largest counties in the nation, 33 counties were 
 chosen. The ranking of these counties was based on a combination of 
 crime data and population data. The criteria for including a case on a 
 roster from which cases would be sampled was that (1) one or more 
 defendants must have been arrested for murder and (2) the case must 
 have been adjudicated during 1988. These cases were a sample of about 
 half of all those in the 33 counties studied that had a murder charge 
 brought to the prosecutors in 1988, or earlier, and that were disposed 
 during 1988. When statistically weighted, the sample cases represent a 
 total of 9,576 murder defendants in the nation's 75 largest counties. 
 Demographic information on victims and defendants includes sex, date of 
 birth, area of residence, and occupation. Variables are also provided 
 on the circumstances of the crime, including the relationship between the 
 victim and the defendant, the type of weapon used, the time of death, 
and the number of victims.

Commercial Victimization Surveys, 1973-1977 [United States]: National Sample

These Commercial Victimization Surveys were collected as
part of the National Crime Surveys. They document burglary and robbery
incidents for all types of commercial establishments, as well as
political, cultural, and religious organizations. Business
characteristics gathered include form of ownership and operation, size
and type of business, and security measures. Information regarding the
reported incidents includes time and place, weapon involvement,
offender and entry characteristics, injuries and deaths, and type and
value of stolen property. Data were collected by calendar quarter for
four quarters in 1973-1976 and for two quarters in 1977, while the
actual incidents reported in the files reflect those occurring six
months prior to the interview date.

Commercial Victimization Surveys, 1972-1975 [United States]: Cities Sample

The National Crime Surveys, of which these Commercial
Victimization Surveys are a part, were conducted to obtain current and
reliable measures of serious crime in the United States. The
Commercial Victimization Surveys are restricted to coverage of
burglary and robbery incidents. They include all types of commercial
establishments as well as political, cultural, and religious
organizations. The survey includes a series of questions about the
business, e.g., type and size, form of ownership, insurance, security,
and break-in and robbery characteristics. Time and place, weapon,
injury, entry evidence, offender characteristics, and stolen property
data were collected for each of the incidents. Data on both victimized
and nonvictimized establishments in 26 different cities were collected
during 1972, 1973, and 1974. In the 1975 survey, data from the 13
cities surveyed during 1972 and 1973 were collected again.

Census of Tribal Justice Agencies, 2002

The study compiles data on the law enforcement, courts and
 administration, corrections and intermediate sanctions, criminal
 history records, and justice statistics of the federally recognized
 American Indian tribal governing bodies. The data determine which
 tribes have sworn law enforcement personnel and the source of
 authority, what the number and type of tribal court systems are, who
 performs the tribal detention function and what types of sanctions are
 imposed. It also looks at whether tribes have access to state and
national criminal record systems.

Census of State Felony Courts, 1985: [United States]

The purpose of this study was to provide a current listing
of all felony courts in this country and to provide a universe from
which a sample of courts could be selected based on felony caseload.
The study includes information on all state felony courts in the United
States, including the number of cases filed and disposed by conviction,
acquittal, dismissal, or other means. Court administrators were asked
to indicate the manner in which cases filed and disposed were counted,
such as by defendant, charge, or indictment information. The total
number of cases disposed during the period was also collected for
juvenile delinquents and for traffic offenses (moving violations) where
applicable. Finally, data were gathered on whether felonies reduced to
misdemeanors were included in the felony count and whether lower courts
in the jurisdiction accepted guilty pleas to felonies.

Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies, 2006

As of year-end 2006 a total of 648 state and local law
enforcement academies were providing basic training to
entry-level recruits in the United States. State agencies
approved 98 percent of these academies. This data collection describes
the academies in terms of their personnel, expenditures,
facilities, curricula, and trainees using data from the 2006
Census of State and Local Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA)
sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS).
The 2006 CLETA, like the initial 2002 study, collected data
from all state and local academies that provided basic law
enforcement training. Academies that provided only
in-service training, corrections and detention training, or
other special types of training were excluded. Federal training
academies were also excluded.

Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies, 2002: [United States]

The 2002 Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies
 (CLETA02) was the first effort by the Bureau of Justice Statistics
 (BJS) to collect information from law enforcement training academies
 across the United States. The CLETA02 included all currently
 operating academies that provided basic law enforcement training.
 Academies that provided only in-service training,
 corrections/detention training, or other special types of training
 were excluded. Data were collected on personnel, expenditures,
 facilities, equipment, trainees, training curricula, and a variety of
 special topic areas. As of year-end 2002, a total of 626 law
 enforcement academies operating in the United States offered basic law
 enforcement training to individuals recruited or seeking to become law
enforcement officers.

Census of Law Enforcement Gang Units, 2007

The 2007 Census of Law Enforcement Gang Units (CLEGU) collected data from all state and local law enforcement agencies with 100 or more sworn officers and at least one officer dedicated solely to addressing gangs and gang activities. Law enforcement agencies are often the first line of response to the gang problems experienced across the country and are a critical component of most anti-gang initiatives. One way for law enforcement agencies to address gang-related problems is to form specialized gang units. The consolidation of an agency's gang enforcement activities and resources into a single unit can allow gang unit officers to develop specific expertise and technical skills related to local gang characteristics and behaviors and gang prevention and suppression.
No prior studies have collected data regarding the organization and operations of law enforcement gang units nationwide, the types of gang prevention tactics employed, or the characteristics and training of gang unit officers.
This CLEGU collected data on the operations, workload, policies, and procedures of gang units in large state and local law enforcement agencies in order to expand knowledge of gang prevention and enforcement tactics.  The CLEGU also collected summary measures of gang activity in the agencies' jurisdictions to allow for comparison across jurisdictions with similar gang problems.

Census of Law Enforcement Aviation Units, 2007 [United States]

The 2007 Census of Law Enforcement Aviation Units is the first systematic, national-level data collection providing information about law enforcement aviation assets and functions.  In general, these units provide valuable airborne support for traditional ground-based police operations.  An additional role following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is the provision of essential
homeland security functions, such as providing critical facility checks of buildings, ports and harbors, public utilities, inland waterways, oil refineries, bridges and spans, water storage/reservoirs, National and/or State monuments, water treatment plants, irrigation facilities, airports, and natural resources.  Aviation units are thought to be able to perform critical facility checks and routine patrol and support operations with greater efficiency than ground-based personnel. However, little is presently known about the equipment, personnel, operations, expenditures, and safety requirements of these units on a national level. This information is critical to law enforcement policy development, planning, and budgeting at all levels of government.
The data will supply law enforcement agencies with a benchmark for comparative analysis with other similarly situated agencies, and increase understanding of the support that aviation units provide to ground-based police operations.

Annual Survey of Jails: Individual Reporting-Level Data, 2007

The Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) is the only data collection effort that provides an
annual source of data on local jails and jail inmates.  Data on the size of the
jail population and selected inmate characteristics are obtained every five to
six years from the Census of Jails.  In each of the years between the full censuses,
a sample survey of jails is conducted to estimate
baseline characteristics of the Nation's jails and inmates housed in these jails.
The 2007 Annual Survey of Jails is the 20th such survey in a series begun in 1982.
The ASJ supplies data on characteristics of jails such as admissions and releases,
growth in the number of jail facilities, changes in their rated capacities and level
of occupancy, growth in the population supervised in the community, changes in methods
of community supervision, and crowding issues.  The ASJ
also provides information on changes in the demographics of the jail population,
supervision status of persons held, and a count of non-citizens in custody.
The data presented in this study were collected in the Annual Survey of
Jails, 2007.  These data are used to track growth in the number of
jails and the capacities nationally, changes in the demographics of the
jail population and supervision status of persons held, the prevalence of
crowding issues, and a count of non-United States citizens within the jail
population.  The data are intended for a variety of users, including
Federal and State agencies, local officials in conjunction with jail
administrators, researchers, planners, and the public.  The reference date
for the survey is June 29, 2007.
