National Crime Victimization Survey: Concatenated Files, 1992-2012

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Series, previously called the National Crime Surveys (NCS), has been collecting data on personal and household victimization through an ongoing survey of a nationally-representative sample of residential addresses since 1973. The NCVS was designed with four primary objectives: (1) to develop detailed information about the victims and consequences of crime, (2) to estimate the number and types of crimes not reported to the police, (3) to provide uniform measures of selected types of crimes, and (4) to permit comparisons over time and types of areas. The survey categorizes crimes as "personal" or "property." Personal crimes include rape and sexual attack, robbery, aggravated and simple assault, and purse-snatching/pocket-picking, while property crimes include burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, and vandalism. Each respondent is asked a series of screen questions designed to determine whether she or he was victimized during the six-month period preceding the first day of the month of the interview. A "household respondent" is also asked to report on crimes against the household as a whole (e.g., burglary, motor vehicle theft). The data include type of crime, month, time, and location of the crime, relationship between victim and offender, characteristics of the offender, self-protective actions taken by the victim during the incident and results of those actions, consequences of the victimization, type of property lost, whether the crime was reported to police and reasons for reporting or not reporting, and offender use of weapons, drugs, and alcohol. Basic demographic information such as age, race, gender, and income is also collected, to enable analysis of crime by various subpopulations. 
This dataset represents the concatenated version of the NCVS on a collection year basis for 1992-2012.  A collection year contains records from interviews conducted in the 12 months of the given year.  Under the collection year format, victimizations are counted in the year the interview is conducted, regardless of the year when the crime incident occurred.
For additional information, please see the documentation for the data from the most current year of the NCVS, ICPSR Study 34650.
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2008

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
fully concurred with the need for an updated program to meet
contemporary needs and provided its support, formulating a
comprehensive redesign effort. Following a multiyear study, a
"Blueprint for the Future of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program" was
developed. Using the "Blueprint," and in consultation with local and
state law enforcement executives, the FBI formulated new guidelines
for the Uniform Crime Reports. The National Incident-Based Reporting
System (NIBRS) was implemented to meet these guidelines. NIBRS data
are archived at ICPSR as 13 separate data files per year, which may be
merged by using linkage variables. The data focus on a variety of
aspects of a crime incident. 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). 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 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 the
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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Police Employee (LEOKA) Data, 2008

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as a periodic nationwide assessment of reported crimes not available elsewhere in the criminal justice system. Each year, this information is reported in four types of files: (1) Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, (2) Property Stolen and Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and (4) Police Employee (LEOKA) Data. The Police Employee (LEOKA) Data provide information about law enforcement officers killed or assaulted (hence the acronym, LEOKA) in the line of duty. The variables created from the LEOKA forms provide in-depth information on the circumstances surrounding killings or assaults, including type of call answered, type of weapon used, and type of patrol the officers were on.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Hate Crime Data, 2008 [Record-Type Files]

In response to a growing concern about hate crimes, the
United States Congress enacted the Hate Crime Statistics Act of
1990. The Act requires the attorney general to establish guidelines
and collect, as part of the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program,
data "about crimes that manifest evidence of prejudice based on race,
religion, sexual orientation, or ethnicity, including where
appropriate the crimes of murder and non-negligent manslaughter,
forcible rape, aggravated assault, simple assault, intimidation,
arson, and destruction, damage or vandalism of property." Hate crime
data collection was required by the Act to begin in calendar year 1990
and to continue for four successive years. In September 1994, the
Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act amended the Hate Crime
Statistics Act to add disabilities, both physical and mental, as
factors that could be considered a basis for hate crimes. Although the
Act originally mandated data collection for five years, the Church
Arson Prevention Act of 1996 amended the collection duration "for each
calendar year," making hate crime statistics a permanent addition to
the UCR program. As with the other UCR data, law enforcement agencies
contribute reports either directly or through their state reporting
programs. Information contained in the data includes number of victims
and offenders involved in each hate crime incident, type of victims,
bias motivation, offense type, and location type.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: County-Level Detailed Arrest and Offense Data, 2008

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).
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Offenders Released From Prison, 2001

The data contain records of sentenced offenders released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) during fiscal year 2001. The data include commitments of United States District Court, violators of conditions of release (e.g., parole, probation, or supervised release violators), offenders convicted in other courts (e.g., military or District of Columbia courts), and persons admitted to prison as material witnesses or for purposes of treatment, examination, or transfer to another authority. Records of offenders who exit federal prison temporarily, such as for transit to another location, to serve a weekend sentence, or for health care, are not included in the exiting cohort. These data include variables that describe the offender, such as age, race, citizenship, as well as variables that describe the sentences and expected prison terms. The data file contains original variables from the Bureau of Prisons' SENTRY database, as well as "SAF" variables that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics, Tables 7.9-7.16. Variables containing identifying information (e.g., name, Social Security Number) were replaced with blanks, and the day portions of date fields were also sanitized in order to protect the identities of individuals. These data are part of a series designed by the Urban Institute (Washington, DC) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by the Urban Institute.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Offenders Released From Prison, 1998

The data contain records of sentenced offenders released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) during fiscal year 1998. The data include commitments of United States District Court, violators of conditions of release (e.g., parole, probation, or supervised release violators), offenders convicted in other courts (e.g., military or District of Columbia courts), and persons admitted to prison as material witnesses or for purposes of treatment, examination, or transfer to another authority. Records of offenders who exit federal prison temporarily, such as for transit to another location, to serve a weekend sentence, or for health care, are not included in the exiting cohort. These data include variables that describe the offender, such as age, race, citizenship, as well as variables that describe the sentences and expected prison terms.

National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2005: Extract Files

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). The extract files version of
 NIBRS is an attempt to simplify working with NIBRS data. Data
 management issues with NIBRS are significant, especially when two or
 more segment levels are being merged. These issues require skills
 separate from data analysis. NIBRS data as formatted by the FBI are
 stored in a single file. These data are organized by various segment
 levels (record types). There are six main segment levels:
 administrative, offense, property, victim, offender, and arrestee.
 Each segment level has a different length and layout. There are other
 segment levels that occur with less frequency than the six main
 levels. Significant computing resources are necessary to work with the
 data in its single-file format. In addition, the user must be
 sophisticated in working with data in complex file types. For these
 reasons and the desire to facilitate the use of NIBRS data, ICPSR
 created the extract files. The data are not a representative sample of
crime in the United States.
State Court Statistics, 2004: [United States]

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 Project 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 processing and dispositions in
 state appellate and trial courts, and (3) appellate opinions. Within
 each of these areas of state government investigation, cases are
 separated by main case type, including civil cases, capital punishment
 cases, other criminal cases, juvenile cases, and administrative agency
appeals.
State Court Statistics, 2003: [United States]

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

 each of these areas of state government investigation, cases are
 separated by main case type, including civil cases, capital punishment
 cases, other criminal cases, juvenile cases, and administrative agency
appeals.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Property Stolen and Recovered, 2005

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
 compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic
 nationwide assessments of reported crimes not available elsewhere in
 the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies contribute
 reports either directly or through their state reporting programs.
 Each year, this information is reported in four types of files: (1)
 Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, (2) Property Stolen and
 Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and (4) Police
 Employee (LEOKA) Data. The Property Stolen and Recovered data are
 collected on a monthly basis by all UCR contributing agencies. These
 data, aggregated at the agency level, report on the nature of the
 crime, the monetary value of the property stolen, and the type of
 property stolen. Similar information regarding recovered property is
also included in the data.
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Sentences, [United States], 2006

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 October 1, 2005, and September 30, 2006, and
were assessed as constitutional. Constitutionality compares each
case's sentencing date, circuit, district, and judge to provide
uniformity in reporting the cases. In 1999, the United States
Sentencing Commission added more variables from its databases to this
collection, so the data are now provided in two files. Several
variables iterate to include multiple occurrences of the same event.
Part 1, Main Data, includes all noniterating variables plus the first
two occurrences of each iterating variable. Over 99 percent of the valid
data is captured in these two variables for most sets of iterations.
Part 2, Supplementary Data, includes the remaining iterations.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Property Stolen and Recovered, 1966-1976

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
 compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic
 nationwide assessments of reported crimes not available elsewhere in
 the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies contribute
 reports either directly or through their state reporting programs.
 Each year, this information is reported in four types of files: (1)
 Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, (2) Property Stolen and
 Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and (4) Police
 Employee (LEOKA) Data. The Property Stolen and Recovered data are
 collected on a monthly basis by all UCR contributing agencies. These
 data, aggregated at the agency level, report on the nature of the
 crime, the monetary value of the property stolen, and the type of
 property stolen. Similar information regarding recovered property is
also included in the data.
Prosecutor's Management Information System (Promis) Data, 1974-1975

These data were generated by the
Prosecutor's Management Information System (PROMIS), a computer-based
management information system for public prosecution agencies, and contain
information on
all cases and defendants brought to the Superior Court Division of the
United States Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. The data
were prepared for public release by the Institute for Law and Social
Research, Washington, DC. The data contain selected variables,
including type and gravity of the crime, a score reflecting the
defendant's past record, and detailed records of the administration of
each case. The 1974 data have only sentencing information.
Federal Court Cases:  Integrated Data Base, 2001

The purpose of this data collection is to provide an
official public record of the business of the federal courts. The data
originate from 94 district and 12 appellate 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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  Supplementary Homicide Reports, 2000  

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as a periodic
nationwide assessment of reported crimes not available elsewhere in
the criminal justice system. Each year, this information is reported
in four types of files: (1) Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest,
(2) Property Stolen and Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide Reports
(SHR), and (4) Police Employee (LEOKA) Data. The Supplementary
Homicide Reports provide incident-based information on criminal
homicides reported to the police. These homicides consist of murders,
non-negligent manslaughter, and justifiable homicides. The data,
provided monthly by UCR agencies, contain information describing the
victim of the homicide, the offender, and the relationship between
victim and offender.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, 2000  

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
 compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic
 nationwide assessments of reported crimes not available elsewhere in
 the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies contribute
 reports either directly or through their state reporting
 programs. Each year, summary data are reported in four types of files:
 (1) Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, (2) Property Stolen and
 Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and (4) Police
 Employee (LEOKA) Data. The Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest
 data files include monthly data on the number of Crime Index offenses
 reported and the number of offenses cleared by arrest or other
 means. The counts include all reports of Index Crimes (excluding
 arson) received from victims, officers who discovered infractions, or
other sources.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  Property Stolen and Recovered, 2000

 Stolen and Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and
 (4) Police Employee (LEOKA) Data. The Property Stolen and Recovered
 data are collected on a monthly basis by all UCR contributing
 agencies. These data, aggregated at the agency level, report on the
 nature of the crime, the monetary value of the property stolen, and
 the type of property stolen. Similar information regarding recovered
property is also included in the data.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: County-Level Detailed Arrest and Offense Data, United States, 2016

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).
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arson, United States, 2016

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic
nationwide assessments of reported crimes not available elsewhere in
the criminal justice system. Seven main classifications of crime were
chosen to gauge fluctuations in the overall volume and rate of
crime. These seven classifications that eventually became known as the
Crime Index included the violent crimes of murder and non-negligent
manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault, and the
property crimes of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
By congressional mandate, arson was added as the eighth Index offense
in 1979. Arson is defined as any willful or malicious burning or
attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house,
public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of
another, etc. The arson data files include monthly data on the number
of arson offenses reported and the number of offenses cleared by
arrest or other means. The counts include all reports of arson
received from victims, officers who discovered infractions, or other
sources.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, United States, 2016

These data provide information on the number of arrests reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program each month by police agencies in the United States. Although not as well known as the "Crimes Known to the Police" data drawn from the Uniform Crime Report's Return A form, the arrest reports by age, sex, and race provide valuable data on 43 offenses including violent, drug, gambling, and larceny crimes. The data received by ICPSR were structured as a hierarchical file containing (per reporting police agency) an agency header record, and 1 to 12 monthly header reports, and 1 to 43 detail offense records containing the counts of arrests by age, sex, and race for a particular offense. ICPSR restructured the original data to a rectangular format.
