National Incident-Based Reporting System, 1996: 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.

Organizations Convicted in Federal Criminal Courts, 2007

These data, collected to assist in the development of
sentencing guidelines, describe offense and sentencing characteristics
for organizations sentenced in federal district courts in 2007. The
United States Sentencing Commission's primary function is to inform
federal courts of sentencing policies and practices that include
guidelines prescribing the appropriate form and severity of punishment
for offenders convicted of federal crimes. Court-related variables
include primary offense type, pecuniary offense loss and gain, dates
of disposition and sentencing, method of determination of guilt,
number of counts pled and charged, and dates and types of sentencing
and restitution. Defendant organization variables include ownership
structure, number of owners and employees, highest level of corporate
knowledge of the criminal offense, highest level of corporate
indictment and conviction for participation in the criminal offense,
annual revenue, equity and financial status, whether it was a criminal
organization, duration of criminal activity, and risk to national
security. Organizational defendants data, 2007, covers fiscal year
October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007.
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Convictions and Sentences: Appeals Data, 2007

This collection contains appellate information from the 12
circuit courts of appeals of the United States. From the Clerk of the
Court of each court of appeals, the United States Sentencing
Commission compiled 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 even though they are
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.
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Sentences, [United States], 2007

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, 2006, and September 30, 2007, 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 three occurrences of each iterating variable. Over 99 percent of the valid data is captured in these three variables for most sets of iterations. Part 2, Supplementary Data, includes the remaining iterations.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  County-Level Detailed Arrest and Offense Data, 1994        

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 Part
 II offenses (forgery, fraud, embezzlement, vandalism, weapons
 violations, sex offenses, drug and alcohol abuse violations, gambling,
vagrancy, curfew violations, and runaways).
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Convictions and Sentences:  Appeals Data, 1993-1998   

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
United States 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). The 1996 data file (Part 7) includes
all appeals cases received as of December 27, 1996, that had
disposition dates between October 1, 1995, and September 30, 1996
(inclusive). The 1997 data file (Part 8) includes all appeals cases
received as of December 27, 1997, that had disposition dates between
October 1, 1996, and September 30, 1997 (inclusive). The 1998 data
file (Part 9) includes all appeals cases received as of December 27,
1997, that had disposition dates between October 1, 1997, and
September 30, 1998 (inclusive).
Expanded United States Supreme Court Judicial Database, 1946-1968 Terms      

This data collection is an expanded version of UNITED
 STATES SUPREME COURT JUDICIAL DATABASE, 1953-1996 TERMS (ICPSR 9422),
 encompassing all aspects of United States Supreme Court
 decision-making from the beginning of the Vinson Court in 1946 to the
 end of the Warren Court in 1968. Two major differences distinguish the
 expanded version of the database from the original collection: the
 addition of data on the decisions of the Vinson Court, and the
 inclusion of the conference votes of the Vinson and Warren
 courts. Whereas the original collection contained only the vote as
 reported in the UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT REPORTS, the expanded
 database includes all votes cast in conference. Concomitant with the
 expansion of the database is a shift in its basic unit of
 analysis. The original collection contained every case in which at
 least one justice wrote an opinion, and cases without opinions were
 excluded. This version includes every case in which the Court cast a
 conference vote, with and without opinions. The justices cast many
 more votes than they wrote opinions, and hence, the number of Warren
 Court records in this version increased by more than a factor of two
 over the original version. As in the original collection, distinct
 aspects of the Court's decisions are covered by six types of
 variables: (1) identification variables including case citation,
 docket number, unit of analysis, and number of records per unit of
 analysis, (2) background variables offering information on origin of
 case, source of case, reason for granting cert, parties to the case,
 direction of the lower court's decision, and manner in which the Court
 takes jurisdiction, (3) chronological variables covering date of term
 of court, chief justice, and natural court, (4) substantive variables
 including multiple legal provisions, authority for decision, issue,
 issue areas, and direction of decision, (5) outcome variables
 supplying information on form of decision, disposition of case,
 winning party, declaration of unconstitutionality, and multiple
 memorandum decisions, and (6) voting and opinion variables pertaining
 to the vote in the case and to the direction of the individual
justices' votes.
Long-Range Planning Survey of Federal Judges, 1992: [United States]

In October 1992, the Federal Judicial Center surveyed nearly 
 all federal judges on a wide range of issues of concern to the federal 
 courts. The survey was conducted for two purposes: to inform the 
 deliberations of the Judicial Conference Committee on Long-Range 
 Planning and to provide information for the Center's 
 congressionally-mandated study of structural alternatives for the 
 federal courts of appeals. Although the purposes were distinct, the 
 areas of interest overlapped, resulting in a survey instrument that 
 addressed many issues at differing levels of detail. The survey 
 questions dealt with the nature and severity of problems in the federal 
 courts, structure and relationships, jurisdiction size and resources, 
 administration and governance, discovery, juries, criminal sanctions, 
 deciding appeals in the current system, availability and compensation 
of counsel, and methods of civil dispute resolution.
National Crime Victimization Survey, Concatenated File, [United States], 1992-2018

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), previously called the National Crime Survey (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. Beginning in 1992, the survey categorizes crimes as "personal" or "property." Personal crimes include rape and sexual assault, 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 1992-2018. 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 on the dataset, please see the documentation for the data from the most current year of the NCVS, ICPSR Study 37297.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants in Federal Criminal Cases Filed in District Court, 2015

The data contain records of defendants in criminal cases filed in United States District Court during fiscal year 2015. The data were constructed from the Administrative Office of the United States District Courts' (AOUSC) criminal file. Defendants in criminal cases may be either individuals or corporations. There is one record for each defendant in each case filed. Included in the records are data from court proceedings and offense codes for up to five offenses charged at the time the case was filed. (The most serious charge at termination may differ from the most serious charge at case filing, due to plea bargaining or action of the judge or jury.) In a case with multiple charges against the defendant, a "most serious" offense charge is determined by a hierarchy of offenses based on statutory maximum penalties associated with the charges.
The data file contains variables from the original AOUSC files as well as additional analysis variables. Variables containing identifying information (e.g., name, Social Security number) were either removed, coarsened, or blanked in order to protect the identities of individuals. These data are part of a series designed by Abt Associates and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by Abt Associates.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants Sentenced Under the Sentencing Reform Act, 2015

These data contain records of criminal defendants who were sentenced pursuant to provisions of the Sentencing Reform Act (SRA) of 1984 and reported to the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC) during fiscal year 2015. It is estimated that over 90 percent of felony defendants in the federal criminal justice system are sentenced pursuant to the SRA of 1984. The data were obtained from the United States Sentencing Commission's Office of Policy Analysis' (OPA) Standardized Research Data File. The Standardized Research Data File consists of variables from the Monitoring Department's database, which is limited to those defendants whose records have been furnished to the USSC by United States district courts and United States magistrates, as well as variables created by the OPA specifically for research purposes. The data include variables from the Judgement and Conviction (J and C) order submitted by the court, background and guideline information collected from the Presentencing Report (PSR), and the report on sentencing hearing in the Statement of Reasons (SOR). These data contain detailed information such as the guideline base offense level, offense level adjustments, criminal history, departure status, statement of reasons given for departure, and basic demographic information. These data are the primary analysis file and include only statute, guideline computation, and adjustment variables for the most serious offense of conviction. These data are part of a series designed by Abt and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by Abt.
Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics Body-Worn Camera Supplement (LEMAS-BWCS), 2016

Beginning in 2016, the Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey adopted a core and supplement structure. The LEMAS core has been conducted every 3 to 4 years since 1987 with approximately 3,200 local, county and state law enforcement agencies across the United States. Due to the breadth of the survey, detailed analysis of any specific law enforcement topic cannot be done with the LEMAS core. The LEMAS supplements are designed to fill this void by allowing for a more comprehensive examination on a key topic in law enforcement and are administered in between core years.  The 2016 LEMAS Body-Worn Camera Supplement (LEMAS-BWCS) is the first supplement administered under the new structure.

This version of the NCVS, referred to as the collection year, contains records from interviews conducted in the 12 months of the given year.
Census of State and Federal Adult Correctional Facilities, 2012

The 2012 Census of State and Federal Correctional Facilities (CSFCF) was the eighth enumeration of state institutions and the fifth enumeration of federal institutions sponsored by the Bureau of Justice Statistics and its predecessors. Earlier censuses were conducted in 1974, 1979 (ICPSR 7852), 1984 (ICPSR 8444), 1990 (ICPSR 9908), 1995 (ICPSR 6953), 2000 (ICPSR 4021), and 2005 (ICPSR 24642). For each facility in the 2012 census, information was provided on security level, facility operator, sex of inmates housed, one-day counts by sex, percentage of inmates authorized to leave the facility, and anticipated changes to or closures of the facility.
The census counted prisoners held in the facilities, a custody count. Some inmates in custody in one jurisdiction may be held for a different jurisdiction. The custody count is distinct from a count of inmates under a correctional authority's jurisdiction, which includes all inmates over whom a correctional authority exercises control, regardless of where the inmate is housed. A jurisdictional count is more inclusive than a prison custody count and includes state and federal prisoners housed in local jails or other non-correctional facilities.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Criminal Appeals Cases Filed in Courts of Appeals, 2015

The data contain records of criminal appeals cases filed in United States Courts of Appeals during fiscal year 2015. The data were constructed from the Administrative Office of the United States Courts' (AOUSC) Court of Appeals file. These contain variables on the nature of the criminal appeal, the underlying offense, and the disposition of the appeal. An appeal can be filed by the government or the offender, and the appellant can appeal the sentence, the verdict, or both sentence and verdict. The data file contains variables from the original AOUSC files as well as additional analysis variables. Variables containing identifying information (e.g., name, Social Security number) were either removed, coarsened, or blanked 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 through 2012. Data from 2013 on were prepared by Abt Associates.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Criminal Appeals Cases Filed in Courts of Appeals, 2014

The data contain records of criminal appeals cases filed in United States Courts of Appeals during fiscal year 2014. The data were constructed from the Administrative Office of the United States Courts' (AOUSC) Court of Appeals file. These contain variables on the nature of the criminal appeal, the underlying offense, and the disposition of the appeal. An appeal can be filed by the government or the offender, and the appellant can appeal the sentence, the verdict, or both sentence and verdict. The data file contains variables from the original AOUSC files as well as additional analysis variables.
