National Incident-Based Reporting System, 1998

The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is a
part of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR), administered by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). In the late 1970s, the law
enforcement community called for a thorough evaluative study of the
UCR with the objective of recommending an expanded and enhanced UCR
program to meet law enforcement needs into the 21st century. The FBI
provided its support, formulating a comprehensive redesign
effort. Following a multiyear study and in consultation with local
and state law enforcement executives, new guidelines for the Uniform
Crime Reports were created. The National Incident-Based Reporting
System (NIBRS) is being implemented to meet these guidelines. NIBRS
data are archived at ICPSR as 13 separate data files, which may be
merged by using linkage variables. The data focus on a variety of
aspects of a crime incident. The Batch Header Segment (Parts 1-3)
separates and identifies individual police agencies by Originating
Agency Identifier (ORI). Batch Header information, which is contained
on three records for each ORI, includes agency name, geographic
location, and population of the area. Part 4, Administrative Segment,
offers data on the incident itself (date and time). Each crime
incident is delineated by one administrative segment record. Also
provided are Part 5, Offense Segment (offense type, location, weapon
use, and bias motivation), Part 6, Property Segment (type of property
loss, property description, property value, drug type and quantity),
Part 7, Victim Segment (age, sex, race, ethnicity, and injuries),
Part 8, Offender Segment (age, sex, and race), and Part 9, Arrestee
Segment (arrest date, age, sex, race, and weapon use). Part 10, Group
B Arrest Report Segment, includes arrestee data for Group B
crimes. Window Segments files (Parts 11-13) pertain to incidents for
which the complete Group A Incident Report was not submitted to the
FBI. In general, a Window Segment record will be generated if the
incident occurred prior to January 1 of the previous year or if the
incident occurred prior to when the agency started NIBRS
reporting. As with UCR, participation in NIBRS is voluntary on the
part of law enforcement agencies. The data are not a representative
sample of crime in the United States. For 1998, 17 states, fully or
partially participating in NIBRS, were included in the dataset.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  County-Level Detailed Arrest and Offense Data, 1998

This data collection contains county-level counts of
 arrests and offenses for Part I offenses (murder, rape, robbery,
 aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft, and arson) and
 counts of arrests for Part II offenses (forgery, fraud, embezzlement,
 vandalism, weapons violations, sex offenses, drug and alcohol abuse
violations, gambling, vagrancy, curfew violations, and runaways).
National Prosecutors Survey Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
The National Survey of Prosecutors is a survey of 
chief prosecutors in state court systems. A chief prosecutor is an official, 
usually locally elected and typically with the title of district attorney or 
county attorney, who is in charge of a prosecutorial district made up of one 
or more counties, and who conducts or supervises the prosecution of felony 
cases in a state court system. Prosecutors in courts of limited jurisdiction, 
such as municipal prosecutors, were not included in the survey. The survey's 
purpose was to obtain detailed descriptive information on prosecutors' 
offices, as well as information on their policies and practices.
Years Produced: Every 4 to 5 years.
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Sentences Series


Investigator(s): U.S. Sentencing Commission
This collection contains information on federal criminal 
cases sentenced under the Sentencing Guidelines and Policy Statements of the 
Sentencing Reform Act of 1984. The data files include all cases received by 
the United States Sentencing Commission that had sentencing dates between 
November 1, 1987, and September 30, 1995, and were assessed as constitutional. 
Constitutionality compares each case's sentencing date, circuit, district, 
and judge to provide uniformity in reporting the cases. The cases are 
categorized either as New Law, with all offenses occurring after the November 
1, 1987, guidelines, or as Mixed Law, with at least one count occurring after 
the guideline effectiveness date and other counts prior to the 
guidelines.Years Produced: Updated annually
State Court Statistics Series


Investigator(s): National Center for State Courts, Court Statistics and Information Management Project
This data collection provides comparable measures of 
state appellate and trial court caseloads by type of case for the 50 
states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Court caseloads are 
tabulated according to generic reporting categories developed by the Court 
Statistics and Technology Committee of the Conference of State Court 
Administrators. These categories describe differences in the unit of count 
and the point of count when compiling each court's caseload. Major areas 
of investigation include: (1) case filings in state appellate and trial 
courts, (2) case dispositions in state appellate and trial courts, and 
(3) appellate opinions. Within each of these areas of investigation, cases 
are separated by main case type. Types include civil cases, capital 
punishment cases, other criminal cases, juvenile cases, administrative 
agency appeals, and several other types.
Years Produced: Updated annually
State Court Processing Statistics Series


Investigator(s): Pretrial Services Resource Center (formerly National Pretrial Reporting Program)
This data collection effort was undertaken to determine whether 
accurate and comprehensive pretrial data can be collected at the local 
level and subsequently aggregated at the state and federal levels. The 
data contained in this collection provide a picture of felony defendants' 
movements through the criminal courts. Offenses were recoded into 14 broad 
categories that conform to the Bureau of Justice Statistics' crime 
definitions. Other variables include sex, race, age, prior record, 
relationship to criminal justice system at the time of the offense, 
pretrial release, detention decisions, court appearances, pretrial 
rearrest, adjudication, and sentencing. The unit of analysis is the 
defendant.Years Produced: Updated biannually
Offender Based Transaction Statistics (OBTS) Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
The Offender Based Transaction Statistics (OBTS) series was
designed by the Bureau of Justice Statistics to collect information tracking 
adult offenders from the point of entry into the criminal justice system 
(typically by arrest), through final disposition, regardless of whether the 
offender is convicted or acquitted. Collected by individual states from 
existing data, the datasets include all cases that reached disposition during 
the calendar year. Using the individual adult offender as the unit for 
analysis, selected information is provided about the offender and his or her 
arrest, prosecution, and court disposition. Examples of variables included 
are arrest and level of arrest charge, date of arrest, charge filed by the 
prosecutor, prosecutor or grand jury disposition, type of counsel, type of 
trial, court disposition, sentence type, and minimum and maximum sentence 
length. Dates of disposition of each stage of the process allow for tracking 
of time spent at each stage.
National Judicial Reporting Program Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
This series tabulates the number of persons convicted of 
felonies in state courts and describes their sentences. Data were collected 
from state courts and state prosecutors in 300 counties of the United States. 
The collection contains socio-demographic information such as age, race, and sex of the felon. Types of offenses committed include homicide, rape, and 
robbery. Adjudication variables referring to the process between arrest and 
sentencing are also included. Data can be analyzed at the national level or 
by the individual counties.Years Produced: Every 2 years
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Convictions and Sentences: Appeals Data Series


Investigator(s): U.S. Sentencing Commission
This collection contains appellate information from the 12 
circuit courts of appeals of the United States. The United States Sentencing 
Commission compiled from the Clerk of the Court of each court of appeals the 
final opinions and orders, both published and unpublished, in all criminal 
appeals for the time period surveyed. The Commission also collected habeas 
corpus decisions (although technically civil matters), because such cases 
often involve sentencing issues. Both the "case" and the "defendant" are used 
in this collection as units of analysis. Each "case" comprises individual 
records representing all codefendants participating in a consolidated appeal. 
Each defendant's record comprises the sentencing-related issues corresponding 
to that particular defendant. The 1993 data file (Part 1) includes all appeals
cases received by the U.S. Sentencing Commission as of December 22, 1993, that
had disposition dates between March 9, 1990, and September 30, 1993 
(inclusive). The 1994 file (Part 2) includes all appeals cases received as of 
December 23, 1994, that had disposition dates between October 1, 1993, and 
September 30, 1994 (inclusive). The 1995 data file (Part 6) includes all 
appeals cases received as of December 26, 1995, that had disposition dates 
between October 1, 1994, and September 30, 1995 (inclusive).Years
Produced: Updated annually.
Federal Justice Statistics Program Data Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
Data in this collection examine the processing of federal 
offenders. The Cases Terminated files (Parts 1-3 and 25-28) contain 
information about defendants in criminal cases filed in the United States 
Federal District Court and terminated in the calendar year indicated. 
Defendants in criminal cases may either be individuals or corporations, and 
there is one record for each defendant in each case terminated. Information 
on court proceedings, date the case was filed, date the case was terminated, 
most serious charge, and reason for termination are included. The Docket and 
Reporting System files (Parts 4-7 and 31-34) include information on suspects 
in investigative matters that took an hour or more of a United States 
Attorney's time with one of the following outcomes: (1) the United States 
Attorney declined to prosecute, (2) the case was filed in Federal District 
Court, or (3) the matter was disposed by a United States magistrate. Codes 
for each disposition and change of status are also provided.The 
Pretrial Services data (Parts 8 and 22) present variables on the circuit, 
district, and office where the defendant was charged, type of action, year of 
birth and sex of the defendant, major offense charge, and results of initial 
and detention hearings. The Parole Decisions data (Part 9) contain information
from various parole hearings such as court date, appeal action, reopening 
decision, sentence, severity, offense, and race and ethnicity of the defendant.
The Offenders Under Supervision files (Parts 15-16 and 37-40) focus on 
convicted offenders sentenced to probation supervision and federal prisoners 
released to parole supervision. The Federal Prisoner files (Parts 18 and 20) 
supply data on when an offender entered and was released from confinement, as 
well as the amount of time served for any given offense.Years 
Produced: Annually.NACJD has prepared a resource guide for the Federal Justice Statistics Program.
Federal Court Cases: Integrated Database Series


Investigator(s): Federal Judicial Center
The purpose of this data collection is to provide an 
official public record of the business of the federal courts. The data 
originate from 100 court offices throughout the United States. Information 
was obtained at two points in the life of a case: filing and termination. The 
termination data contain information on both filing and terminations, while 
the pending data contain only filing information. For the appellate and civil 
data, the unit of analysis is a single case. The unit of analysis for the 
criminal data is a single defendant.Years Produced: Updated 
bi-annually with annual data.
Civil Justice Survey of State Courts: [United States] Series


 Investigator(s): Bureau
of Justice Statistics
These
surveys provide a broad-based, systematic examination of the nature of
general civil litigation (e.g., tort, contract, and real property
cases) disposed in a sample of the nation's 75 most populous
counties. Data collection was carried out by the National Center for
State Courts with the assistance of WESTAT. Data collected includes
information about the types of civil cases litigated at trial, types
of plaintiffs and defendants, trial winners, amount of total damages
awarded, amount of punitive damages awarded, and case processing
time. In addition, information was collected on general civil cases
concluded by bench or jury trial that were subsequently appealed to a
state's intermediate appellate court or court of last resort. The
appellate datasets examine information on the types of civil bench and
jury trials appealed, the characteristics of litigants filing an
appeal, the frequency in which appellate courts affirm, reverse, or
modify trial court outcomes and cases further appealed from an
intermediate appellate court to a state court of last
resort.
Survey of Prison Inmates (SPI) Series (Formerly Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities (SISFCF))


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
Conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics, this survey is part of a series of data gathering efforts undertaken to assist policymakers in assessing and remedying deficiencies in the nation's correctional institutions. Its primary objective is to produce national statistics of the state and sentenced federal prison populations across a variety of domains. The survey gathered information on demographic, socioeconomic, and criminal history characteristics of prisoners. Also obtained were details of prisoner’ military service, current offense and sentence, incident characteristics, and firearm possession and sources. Other information includes age at time of interview, ethnicity, education, lifetime drug use and alcohol use and treatment, mental and physical health and treatment, and pre-arrest employment and income. Data on characteristics of victims, prison programs and services, and rule violations are provided as well.
With the 2016 administration, the survey was renamed the Survey of Prison Inmates.
NACJD has prepared a resource guide for the Survey of Prison Inmates Series.
Survey of Inmates in Local Jails Series



Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
Formerly Survey of Jail Inmates.This 
collection provides nationally representative data on persons held prior to 
trial and on those convicted offenders serving sentences in local jails or 
awaiting transfer to state prisons. Data were collected on individual 
characteristics of jail inmates (sex, race, ethnicity, Hispanic origin, 
employment), current offenses and sentences, characteristics of victims, 
criminal histories, jail activities and programs, prior drug and alcohol use 
and treatment, and health care services provided while in jail.
Years Produced: Every 6 years.
National Jail Census Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
The National Jail Census was conducted by the U.S. 
Census Bureau for the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Excluded from the 
census were federal- or state-administered facilities, including the 
combined jail-prison systems in Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, 
Rhode Island, and Vermont. Data include jail population by reason being 
held, age (juvenile or adult) and sex, maximum sentence that can be 
served in the facility, available services, type of security available, 
facility capacity, age, construction and renovation of the facility, 
employment, and operating expenditures.Years Produced:

Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities Series




Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
This series of studies contains a descriptive
analysis of federal and state-operated adult confinement and
correctional facilities nationwide.  The census included prisons,
penitentiaries, and correctional facilities; boot camps; community
corrections; prison farms; reception, diagnostic, and classification
centers; road camps; forestry and conservation camps; youthful
offender facilities (except in California); vocational training
facilities; prison hospitals; and correctional drug and alcohol
treatment facilities.  Variables include physical security, age of
facilities, functions of facilities, programs, inmate work
assignments, staff employment, facilities under court order/consent
decree for conditions of confinement, capital and operating
expenditures, custody level of residents/inmates, one-day and average
daily population counts, race/ethnicity of inmates, inmate deaths,
special inmate counts, and assaults and incidents by inmates. The
institution is the unit of analysis.  The Census of State and Federal
Adult Correctional Facilities is produced every 5
years.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data Series

Investigator(s): Federal Bureau of Investigation
Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic nationwide assessments of reported crimes not available elsewhere in the criminal justice system. With the 1977 data, the title was expanded to Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data. Each year, participating law enforcement agencies contribute reports to the FBI either directly or through their state reporting programs. ICPSR archives the UCR data as five separate components: (1) summary data, (2) county-level data, (3) incident-level data (National Incident-Based Reporting System [NIBRS]), (4) hate crime data, and (5) various, mostly nonrecurring, data collections. Summary data are reported in four types of files: (a) Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, (b) Property Stolen and Recovered, (c) Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and (d) Police Employee (LEOKA) Data (Law Enforcement Officers Killed or Assaulted). The county-level data provide counts of arrests and offenses aggregated to the county level. County populations are also reported. In the late 1970s, new ways to look at crime were studied. The UCR program was subsequently expanded to capture incident-level data with the implementation of the National Incident-Based Reporting System. The NIBRS data focus on various aspects of a crime incident. The gathering of hate crime data by the UCR program was begun in 1990. Hate crimes are defined as crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity. In September 1994, disabilities, both physical and mental, were added to the list. The fifth component of ICPSR's UCR holdings is comprised of various collections, many of which are nonrecurring and prepared by individual researchers. These collections go beyond the scope of the standard UCR collections provided by the FBI, either by including data for a range of years or by focusing on other aspects of analysis.
NACJD has produced resource guides on UCR and on NIBRS data.
National Justice Agency List Series


Investigator(s): Bureau of Justice Statistics
The National Justice Agency List is a master name and address 
file created and maintained by the United States Bureau of the Census for the 
Bureau of Justice Statistics. The file was first created in 1970, and the Census 
Bureau has continued to maintain and expand the file. For the original survey, 
each county in the United States and each municipality and township with a 1960 
population of 1,000 or more persons was surveyed to identify the names and 
addresses of the criminal justice agencies and institutions controlled by local 
government. The survey was conducted by mail canvass. In addition to the mail 
survey, the Census Bureau collected information on state-level governments and 
counties with a 1960 population of 500,000 or more and cities with a 1960 
population of 300,000 or more through in-house research methods. The reference 
information included a variety of published government documents such as budget 
statements, organization manuals, and state, county, and municipal 
directories.
National Corrections Reporting Program, 1991-2016: Selected Variables

The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) compiles offender-level data on admissions and releases from state and federal prisons and post-confinement community supervision. The data are used to monitor the nation's correctional population and address specific policy questions related to recidivism, prisoner reentry, and trends in demographic characteristics of the incarcerated and community supervision populations. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) has administered the NCRP since 1983. Abt Associates has served as the NCRP data collection agent since October 2010.
This version of the NCRP contains selected variables making it suitable for public release.
National Inmate Survey (NIS) - Prisons: Full Survey Respondents, [United States], 2011-2012 

The National Inmate Survey (NIS) is part of the Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) National Prison Rape Statistics Program, which gathers mandated data on the incidence and prevalence of sexual assault in correctional facilities under the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003 (PREA; P.L. 108- 79). Inmates are randomly assigned to receive either a survey of sexual victimization or a survey of criminal history, facility climate, and mental health. About 90 percent of the respondents completed modules through the survey of sexual victimization while the other 10 percent completed modules through the alternative survey. However, the data in this study focuses primarily upon criminal history, facility climate, and mental health. No respondent answered questions about sexual victimization.
