Felonious Homicides of American Police Officers, 1977-1992

The study was a comprehensive analysis of felonious
 killings of officers. The purposes of the study were (1) to analyze
 the nature and circumstances of incidents of felonious police killings
 and (2) to analyze trends in the numbers and rates of killings across
 different types of agencies and to explain these differences. For Part
 1, Incident-Level Data, an incident-level database was created to
 capture all incidents involving the death of a police officer from
 1983 through 1992. Data on officers and incidents were collected from
 the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data
 collection as coded by the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. In
 addition to the UCR data, the Police Foundation also coded information
 from the LEOKA narratives that are not part of the computerized LEOKA
 database from the FBI. For Part 2, Agency-Level Data, the researchers
 created an agency-level database to research systematic differences
 among rates at which law enforcement officers had been feloniously
 killed from 1977 through 1992. The investigators focused on the 56
 largest law enforcement agencies because of the availability of data
 for explanatory variables. Variables in Part 1 include year of
 killing, involvement of other officers, if the officer was killed with
 his/her own weapon, circumstances of the killing, location of fatal
 wounds, distance between officer and offender, if the victim was
 wearing body armor, if different officers were killed in the same
 incident, if the officer was in uniform, actions of the killer and of
 the officer at entry and final stage, if the killer was visible at
 first, if the officer thought the killer was a felon suspect, if the
 officer was shot at entry, and circumstances at anticipation, entry,
 and final stages. Demographic variables for Part 1 include victim's
 sex, age, race, type of assignment, rank, years of experience, agency,
 population group, and if the officer was working a security job. Part
 2 contains variables describing the general municipal environment,
 such as whether the agency is located in the South, level of poverty
 according to a poverty index, population density, percent of
 population that was Hispanic or Black, and population aged 15-34 years
 old. Variables capturing the crime environment include the violent
 crime rate, property crime rate, and a gun-related crime
 index. Lastly, variables on the environment of the police agencies
 include violent and property crime arrests per 1,000 sworn officers,
 percentage of officers injured in assaults, and number of sworn
officers.
Evaluating a Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Night Drug Court in Las Cruces, New Mexico, 1997-1998

The purpose of this study was twofold. First, researchers
 wanted to assess the benefits of the driving while intoxicated (DWI)
 drug court established in the Las Cruces, New Mexico, Municipal Court
 in an effort to determine its future viability. This was accomplished
 by examining the behaviors and attitudes of three groups of convicted
 drunk-drivers and determining the extent to which these groups were
 different or similar. The three groups included: (1) non-alcoholic
 first- and second-time offenders (non-alcoholic offenders), (2)
 alcoholic first- and second-time DWI offenders (alcoholic offenders),
 and (3) chronic three-time (or more) DWI offenders (chronic
 offenders). The second purpose of this study was to explore police
 officers' attitudes toward court-based treatment programs for DWI
 offenders, while examining the distinguishing characteristics between
 police officers who support court-based programs for drunk drivers and
 those who are less likely to support such sanctions. Data for Part 1,
 Drug Court Survey Data, were collected using a survey questionnaire
 distributed to non-alcoholic, alcoholic, and chronic offenders. Part 1
 variables include blood alcohol level, jail time, total number of
 prior arrests and convictions, the level of support from the
 respondents' family and friends, and whether the respondent thought
 DWI was wrong, could cause injury, or could ruin lives. Respondents
 were also asked whether they acted spontaneously in general, took
 risks, found trouble exciting, ever assaulted anyone, ever destroyed
 property, ever extorted money, ever sold or used drugs, thought lying
 or stealing was OK, ever stole a car, attempted breaking and entering,
 or had been a victim of extortion. Demographic variables for Part 1
 include the age, gender, race, and marital status of each
 respondent. Data for Part 2, Police Officer Survey Data, were
 collected using a survey questionnaire designed to capture what police
 officers knew about the DWI Drug Court, where they learned about it,
 and what factors accounted for their attitudes toward the program.
 Variables for Part 2 include police officers' responses to whether DWI
 court was effective, whether DWI laws were successful, the perceived
 effect of mandatory jail time versus treatment alone, major problems
 seen with DWI policies, if DWI was considered dangerous, and how the
 officer had learned or been briefed about the drug court. Other
 variables include the number of DWI arrests, and whether respondents
 believed that reforms weaken police power, that DWI caused more work
 for them, that citizens have bad attitudes, that the public has too
 many rights, and that stiffer penalties for DWI offenders were more
successful.
Valuation of Specific Crime Rates in the United States, 1980 and 1990

This project was designed to isolate the effects that
individual crimes have on wage rates and housing prices, as gauged by
individuals' and households' decisionmaking preferences changing over
time. Additionally, this project sought to compute a dollar value
that individuals would bear in their wages and housing costs to reduce
the rates of specific crimes. The study used multiple decades of
information obtained from counties across the United States to create
a panel dataset. This approach was designed to compensate for the
problem of collinearity by tracking how housing and occupation choices
within particular locations changed over the decade considering
all amenities or disamenities, including specific crime rates. Census
data were obtained for this project from the Integrated Public Use
Microdata Series (IPUMS) constructed by Ruggles and Sobek
(1997). Crime data were obtained from the Federal Bureau of
Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR). Other data were collected
from the American Chamber of Commerce Researchers Association, County
and City Data Book, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
and Environmental Protection Agency. Independent variables for the
Wages Data (Part 1) include years of education, school enrollment,
sex, ability to speak English well, race, veteran status, employment
status, and occupation and industry. Independent variables for the
Housing Data (Part 2) include number of bedrooms, number of other
rooms, building age, whether unit was a condominium or detached
single-family house, acreage, and whether the unit had a kitchen,
plumbing, public sewers, and water service. Both files include the
following variables as separating factors: census geographic division,
cost-of-living index, percentage unemployed, percentage vacant
housing, labor force employed in manufacturing, living near a
coastline, living or working in the central city, per capita local
taxes, per capita intergovernmental revenue, per capita property
taxes, population density, and commute time to work. Lastly, the
following variables measured amenities or disamenities: average
precipitation, temperature, windspeed, sunshine, humidity,
teacher-pupil ratio, number of Superfund sites, total suspended
particulate in air, and rates of murder, rape, robbery, aggravated
assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft, violent crimes, and property
crimes.

Financial elder exploitation (FE) is an increasing problem for vulnerable elders exploited by opportunists and for the social service and criminal justice system designed to protect them. This study systematically investigated both objective and subjective measures of social support and isolation, along with common risk factors mentioned in FE theories, including dependency, physical health, depression, cognition, and demographic characteristics. Researchers collected data on individual difference variables with an emphasis on cognitive factors and data on contextual factors using an individually administered survey approach. The framework for this project was derived from known factors for FE, predicted protective factors for FE, and conceptual approaches from the child mistreatment literature on risk and resilience.

The study includes 1 SPSS data file with 216 cases and 297 variables.

The School Health Center Healthy Adolescent Relationship Program (SHARP) was a school health center (SHC) provider-delivered multi-level intervention to reduce adolescent relationship abuse (ARA) among adolescents ages 14-19 seeking care in SHCs. This study tested the effectiveness of a brief relationship abuse education and counseling intervention in SHCs.


The SHARP intervention consisted of three levels of integrated intervention:

A brief clinical intervention on healthy and unhealthy relationships for SHC (cisgender and transgender) male and female patients delivered by SHC providers during all clinic visits (evaluated via client pre- and post-surveys and chart review)
Development of an ARA-informed SHC staff and clinic environment (evaluated via provider pre and post-training surveys and interviews)
SHC-based youth-led outreach activities within the school to promote healthy relationships and improve student safety (evaluated by focus groups with youth leaders and measures of school climate)



The collection consists of:

Improving the Success of Reentry Programs: Identifying the Impact of Service-Need Fit on Recidivism in 14 States, 2004-2011

These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed.
This study, with assistance from the National Institute of Justice's Data Resources Program (FY2012), is a reanalysis of data from the national evaluation of the federal Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative (SVORI). SVORI provided funding to 69 agencies across the United States to enhance reentry programs and coordination between corrections and community services. The national evaluation covered 16 of these sites, twelve of which provided services to the 2,054 adult ex-prisoners who are the focus of the present study. 
 The purpose of this study is to understand whether or not offenders receive the services they say they need, and whether the degree of 'fit' between this self-reported criminogenic need and services received is related to recidivism. This study analyzes data from the SVORI multisite evaluation to assess the potential explanations for the mixed effectiveness of reentry programs. The goal is to understand whether or not service-risk/need fit is related to successful reentry outcomes, or whether the needs of returning prisoners are unrelated to their risk of recidivism regardless of how well they are addressed. For the present study researchers obtained the SVORI (ICPSR 27101) outcome evaluation datasets from the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). The archive holds four separate datasets from the evaluation: Adult Males Data (Part 1, N=1,697), Adult Females Data (Part 2, N=357), Juvenile Males Data (Part 3, N=337) and official recidivism and reincarceration data (Part 4, N=35,469), which can be linked on a one-to-many basis with the individual-level data in the other three datasets. To prepare the SVORI data for analysis researchers merged Datasets 1 and 2 (Adult Males and Adult Females) and created seven separate datasets containing Waves 1 through 4 survey data, National Crime Information Center (NCIC) crime data, administrative data, and sampling weights.
This deposit to NACJD is intended to complement the existing SVORI dataset (ICPSR 27101). It contains an R syntax file to be used with the datasets contained in the ICPSR 27101 collection.
Missing Data in the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), 1977-2000 [United States]

This study reexamined and recoded missing data in the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) for the years 1977 to 2000 for all police agencies in the United States.  The principal investigator conducted a data cleaning of 20,067 Originating Agency Identifiers (ORIs) contained within the Offenses-Known UCR data from 1977 to 2000. Data cleaning involved performing agency name checks and creating new numerical codes for different types of missing data including missing data codes that identify whether a record was aggregated to a particular month, whether no data were reported (true missing), if more than one index crime was missing, if a particular index crime (motor vehicle theft, larceny, burglary, assault, robbery, rape, murder) was missing, researcher assigned missing value codes according to the "rule of 20", outlier values, whether an ORI was covered by another agency, and whether an agency did not exist during a particular time period.
Evaluation of the Community Supervision Mapping System for Released Prisoners in Rhode Island, 2008-2010

This study evaluated the Community Supervision Mapping System (CSMS), an online geospatial tool that enables users to map the formerly incarcerated and others on probation, along with related data such as service provider locations and police districts. Probation officers in the state of Rhode Island were surveyed a few weeks before and 18 months after the implementation of CSMS. A total of 56 probation officers participated in the first wave of the study (pre-implementation survey), and 52 probation officers participated in the second wave (post-implementation survey), yielding an overall sample size of 108 probation officers. Dataset 1 contains the data for both waves of the study. The dataset is comprised of 140 variables. Both waves of the study examined the following categories of variables: the probation officer's professional background, contact with clients, amount of time spent on job duties specific to the profession, contact with other agencies, and computer usage. The second wave added 86 variables to explore officers' experiences with CSMS, which features they used, how it impacted their work, and their expected use of CSMS in the future.
