Federal Court Cases: Integrated Data Base Bankruptcy Petitions, 2012

In 2008, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) began implementing the NewSTATS (New Streamline Timely Access to Statistics) Project with respect to bankruptcy data. The project's goals were to modernize the system for collecting, processing, analyzing, and reporting statistics of the federal court system. Based on the records for bankruptcy cases in NewSTATS, a data base for internal use in the Research Division of the Federal Judicial Center has been created. That data base is the Bankruptcy Petition NewSTATS Snapshots [BPNS] Data Base.

Survey of State Court Criminal Appeals, 2010

State appellate courts were created to detect and correct errors in trial
court decisions and provide fair, consistent, and timely resolutions to all
appeals.  The Survey of State Court Criminal Appeals, 2010 (SSCCA) data
were collected from a nationally representative sample of all criminal
appeals disposed in all 143 state appellate courts in 2010.  The data
include state court criminal appeals, resolution of appeals, and time to
resolution.
National Crime Victimization Survey, Concatenated File, 1992-2015

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 1992-2015.  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 36142.

Deaths in Custody Reporting Program: State Prisons, 2001 - 2013

The Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP) is an annual data collection
conducted by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). The DCRP began in 2000
under the Death in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-297). It is the
only national statistical collection that obtains detailed information
about deaths in adult correctional facilities. The DCRP collects data on
persons dying in state prisons, local jails and in the process of
arrest. Each collection is a separate subcollection, but each is under the
umbrella of the DCRP collection. This deals with the prison subcollection,
which has a prison death file.
The prison portion of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program began in 2001
after the passage of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 in October
of 2000. The prison component of the DCRP collects data on inmate deaths
occurring in the 50 state departments of corrections while inmates are in
the physical custody of prison officials.
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2014: 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 was created 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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, Summarized Yearly, United States, 2014

These data provide information on the number of arrests
reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime
Reporting (UCR) Program each year by police agencies in the United
States. These arrest reports provide data on 43 offenses including
violent crime, drug use, gambling, and larceny. The data received by
ICPSR were structured as a hierarchical file containing, per reporting
police agency: an agency header record, 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 logical
record length format with the agency header record variables copied
onto the detail records. Consequently, each record contains arrest
counts for a particular agency-offense.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants in Federal Criminal Cases -- Terminated, 2012

The data contain records of defendants in federal criminal cases terminated in United States District Court during fiscal year 2012. The data were constructed from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Central System file. According to the EOUSA, the United States attorneys conduct approximately 95 percent of the prosecutions handled by the Department of Justice. The Central System data contain variables from the original EOUSA files as well as additional analysis variables, or "SAF" variables, that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics. 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: Suspects in Federal Criminal Matters Concluded, 2012

The data contain records of suspects in federal criminal matters concluded by United States attorneys or United States magistrates during fiscal year 2012. The data were constructed from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Central System file.

According to the EOUSA, the United States attorneys conduct approximately 95 percent of the prosecutions handled by the Department of Justice. The Central System data contain variables from the original EOUSA files as well as additional analysis variables, or "SAF" variables, that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics, Tables 1.2-1.5. 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: Charges Filed Against Defendants in Criminal Cases in District Court -- Terminated, 2012

The data contain records of charges filed against defendants whose cases were terminated by United States attorneys in United States district court during fiscal year 2012. The data are charge-level records, and more than one charge may be filed against a single defendant.
