National Crime Victimization Survey, Concatenated File, [United States], 1992-2017


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 1992-2017. 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 36981.
State Court Statistics, 2009

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 (CSP) 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. The trial caseload consists of civil, domestic relations, criminal, juvenile, and traffic violation cases.  The appellate caseload consists of appeal by right, appeal by permission, death penalty, and original proceeding/other appellate matter cases.
Firearm Injury Surveillance Study, 1993-2010

These data were collected using the National Electronic
Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), the primary data system of the
United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). CPSC began
operating NEISS in 1972 to monitor product-related injuries treated in
United States hospital emergency departments (EDs). In June 1992, the
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), within the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, established an interagency
agreement with CPSC to begin collecting data on nonfatal
firearm-related injuries in order to monitor the incidents and the
characteristics of persons with nonfatal firearm-related injuries
treated in United States hospital EDs over time. This dataset
represents all nonfatal firearm-related injuries (i.e., injuries
associated with powder-charged guns) and all nonfatal BB and pellet
gun-related injuries reported through NEISS from 1993 through
2010. The cases consist of initial ED visits for treatment of the
injuries. Cases were reported even if the patients subsequently died.
Secondary visits and transfers from other hospitals were excluded.
Information is available on injury diagnosis, firearm type, use of
drugs or alcohol, criminal incident, and locale of the
incident. Demographic information includes age, sex, and race of the
injured person.
Federal Court Cases: Integrated Data Base, 2011

The purpose of this data collection is to provide an official
public record of the business of the federal courts. The data
originate from district and appellate court offices throughout
the United States. Information was obtained at two points in
the life of appellate and civil cases: filing and
termination. The termination data (archived in this data
collection) contain information on both filing and
terminations, while the pending data (archived as a separate
data collection) contain only filing information on the most
recent pending cases. The unit of analysis for the appellate
and civil terminations data is the case. This collection also
contains data on criminal cases in federal courts. However, the
unit of analysis for the criminal data is the defendant, and a
defendant can be included in several cases.
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2010: 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: National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2010

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: Property Stolen and Recovered, 2010

The UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM DATA: PROPERTY STOLEN AND RECOVERED,
2010 file (also known as the Supplement to Return A) is collected at the agency level and includes detailed monthly data on the nature of crime and the value and type of property stolen and recovered incident to each crime. The Return A Supplement requires that a value be established for property stolen and recovered in each Crime Index category except aggravated assault. It is designed to record the value of property stolen and recovered in the following eleven classifications: Currency/notes, Jewelry and Precious Metals, Clothing and Furs, Locally Stolen Motor Vehicles, Office Equipment, Televisions/Radios, Firearms, Household Goods, Consumable Goods, Livestock, and Miscellaneous. The determination of the value of property stolen is an obligation of the investigating officer, and such information is essential to assure the completeness of a law enforcement investigative report on stolen property. The data were originally assembled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from reports submitted by agencies participating in the UCR. The ICPSR file was processed from Return A Supplement files provided by the FBI.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arson, United States, 2010

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: Supplementary Homicide Reports, 2010

The UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM DATA: SUPPLEMENTARY HOMICIDE REPORTS, 2010 (SHR) provide detailed information on criminal homicides reported to the police. These homicides consist of murders; non-negligent killings also called non-negligent manslaughter; and justifiable homicides. UCR Program contributors compile and submit their crime data by one of two means: either directly to the FBI or through their State UCR Programs. State UCR Programs frequently impose mandatory reporting requirements which have been effective in increasing both the number of reporting agencies as well as the number and accuracy of each participating agency's reports. Each agency may be identified by its numeric state code, alpha-numeric agency ("ORI") code, jurisdiction population, and population group. In addition, each homicide incident is identified by month of occurrence and situation type, allowing flexibility in creating aggregations and subsets.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, 2010

The UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM DATA: OFFENSES KNOWN AND CLEARANCES BY ARREST, 2010 dataset is a compilation of offenses reported to law enforcement agencies in the United States. Due to the vast number of categories of crime committed in the United States, the FBI has limited the type of crimes included in this compilation to those crimes which people are most likely to report to police and those crimes which occur frequently enough to be analyzed across time. Crimes included are criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
Much information about these crimes is provided in this dataset. The number of times an offense has been reported, the number of reported offenses that have been cleared by arrests, and the number of cleared offenses which involved offenders under the age of 18 are the major items of information collected.
National Pretrial Reporting Program, 1988-1989

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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  Detailed Arrest and Offense Data for 321 Counties, 1988

The files in this collection contain counts of arrests and
 offenses for Part I and Part II offenses: murder, rape, robbery,
 assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft, arson, forgery, fraud,
 embezzlement, vandalism, weapons violations, sex offenses, drug and
 alcohol abuse violations, gambling, vagrancy, curfew violations, and
 runaways. County populations are also reported. Data are included for
321 counties in the United States.
United States Supreme Court Judicial Database, 1953-1997 Terms   

This data collection encompasses all aspects of United
 States Supreme Court decision-making from the beginning of the Warren
 Court in 1953 to the completion of the most recent term of the
 Rehnquist Court. In this collection, distinct aspects of the Court's
 decisions are covered by six types of variables: (1) identification
 variables including citations and docket numbers, (2) background
 variables offering information on how the Court took jurisdiction,
 origin and source of case, and the reason the Court granted cert, (3)
 chronological variables covering date of decision, Court term, and
 natural court, (4) substantive variables including legal provisions,
 issues, and direction of decision, (5) outcome variables supplying
 information on disposition of case, winning party, formal alteration
 of precedent, and declaration of unconstitutionality, and (6) voting
 and opinion variables pertaining to how individual justices voted,
their opinions and interagreements, and the direction of their votes.
Mandatory Drug offender Processing Data, 1986: Alaska, California, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia

The National Consortium for Assessing Drug Control
Initiatives, funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance and
coordinated by the Criminal Justice Statistics Association, collected
drug offender processing data from eight states: Alaska, California,
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia. The
purpose of the project was to track adult drug offenders from the
point of entry into the criminal justice system (typically by arrest)
through final court disposition, regardless of whether the offender
was released without trial, acquitted, or convicted. These data allow
researchers to examine how the criminal justice system processes drug
offenders, to measure the changing volume of drug offenders moving
through the different segments of the criminal justice system, to
calculate processing time intervals between major decision-making
events, and to assess the changing structure of the drug offender
population. For purposes of this project, a drug offender was defined
as any person who had been charged with a felony drug offense. The
data are structured into six segments pertaining to (1) record
identification, (2) the offender (date of birth, sex, race, ethnic
origin), (3) arrest information (date of arrest, age at arrest, arrest
charge code), (4) prosecution information (filed offense code and
level, prosecution disposition and date), (5) court disposition
information (disposition offense and level, court disposition, final
disposition date, final pleading, type of trial), and (6) sentencing
information (sentence and sentence date, sentence minimum and
maximum). Also included are elapsed time variables. The unit of
analysis is the felony drug offender.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest in All Cities with Populations Over 250,000, 1987-1988

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has compiled
 the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic nationwide
 assessments of reported crime 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) The Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and
 (4) Police Employee (LEOKA) data. This collection contains Offenses
 Known and Clearances by Arrest data and includes monthly information on
 the number of Crime Index offenses reported, the number of offenses
 cleared by arrest or other means, and the number of adults and
 juveniles arrested in cities with populations over 250,000. The counts
 include all reports of Index Crimes (excluding arson) received from
 victims, from officers who discovered infractions, or from other
sources.
Uniform Crime Reports:  County Level Detailed Arrest and Offense Data, 1988

The files in this collection contain counts of arrests and
 offenses for Part I and Part II offenses: murder, rape, robbery,
 assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft, arson, forgery, fraud,
 embezzlement, vandalism, weapons violations, sex offenses, drug and
 alcohol abuse violations, gambling, vagrancy, curfew violations, and
runaways. County populations are also reported.
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 1997

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. Annual
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 1997, twelve 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, 1997

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 [United States]: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, 1998

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, 1 to 12 monthly header
 records, 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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  Police Employee (LEOKA) Data, 1998    

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.
