Monitoring of Federal Criminal Sentences, [United States], 2014-2015

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, 2014, and September 30, 2015, 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 highest occurrences of each iterating variable. Part 2, Supplementary Data, includes the remaining iterations.
Organizations Convicted in Federal Criminal Courts, 2014

These data, collected to assist in the development of
sentencing guidelines, describe offense and sentencing characteristics
for organizations sentenced in federal district courts in 2014. 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, 2014, covers fiscal year
October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014.
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Convictions and Sentences: Appeals Data, 2014

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.
Federal Court Cases: Integrated Data Base, 2014

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.
Deaths in Custody Reporting Program: Jail Populations, 2000-2013

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 collection deals with the jail subcollection, which includes a jail populations file.
The jail portion of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program began in 2000
after the passage of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 in October
of 2000. The original law lapsed at year-end 2006, but BJS continued to collect the data on a voluntary basis until the reauthorization of the Deaths in Custody Reporting Act in December of 2014. The jail component of the DCRP collects data on the death of any inmate in their custody, even if the inmate was being held for another jurisdiction, such as the state department of corrections, another state or county, or the federal government. Jail deaths include the death of any inmate sent outside the jail facility for medical, mental health or substance abuse treatment services, or for work-release programs. Deaths that occur while an inmate is in transit to or from the jail facility are included. Deaths of jail inmates on temporary furloughs or who escaped from the jail facility are excluded.
This longitudinal dataset includes year-end collections of population and admissions data from all jail jurisdictions nationwide annually, from 2000 to 2013. These files do not include death data. Interested users should see the Deaths and Custody Reporting Program: Local Jails, 2000-2013 (ICPSR 34286).
Federal Court Cases: Integrated Data Base Bankruptcy Petitions, 2015

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.

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.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Charges Filed Against Defendants in Criminal Cases in District Court -- Terminated, 2011

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 2011. The data are charge-level records, and more than one charge may be filed against a single defendant. The data were constructed from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Central Charge file. The charge-level data may be linked to defendant-level data (extracted from the EOUSA Central System file) through the CS_SEQ variable, and it should be noted that some defendants may not have any charges other than the lead charge appearing on the defendant-level record. The Central Charge and 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: Statutes for Counts of Convictions for Defendants Sentenced Under the Sentencing Reform Act, 2011

These data contain records of statutes for each count of conviction for 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 2011. The data are one of two supplementary files that should be used in conjunction with the primary analysis file, which contains records for all defendants sentenced under the guidelines. These data can be linked to the primary analysis file using the unique identifier variable USSCIDN. The number of records for a defendant in the current data corresponds to the total number of counts of conviction for that defendant, and that total is recorded in the NOCOUNT variable. As an example, if a defendant has five counts of conviction (NOCOUNT=5), he or she will have five records in the current data. As it is possible for defendants to have multiple statutes applying to a single count of conviction, up to three statutes (STA1-STA3) are recorded for each count of conviction. The data were obtained from the United States Sentencing Commission's Office of Policy Analysis' (OPA) Standardized Research Data File. 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: Guideline Computations for Defendants Sentenced Under the Sentencing Reform Act, 2011 

These data contain records of guideline computations and adjustments for each count of conviction for 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 2011. The data are one of two supplementary files that should be used in conjunction with the primary analysis file, which contains records for all defendants sentenced under the guidelines. These data can be linked to the primary analysis file using the unique identifier variable USSCIDN. The number of records for a defendant in the current data corresponds to the total number of guideline computations, which may or may not equal the total counts of conviction for that defendant, dependent upon the grouping rules of the particular guideline in question (see Section 3D1.2 of the guidelines manual). As an example, a defendant with five counts of drug trafficking will only have one guideline computation because each of the drug weights for each count are simply added together and only one calculation is necessary. However, if a defendant has five counts of bank robbery, he or she will have five separate guideline computations because bank robbery is considered to be a nongroupable offense. The data were obtained from the United States Sentencing Commission's Office of Policy Analysis' (OPA) Standardized Research Data File. 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: Defendants Sentenced Under the Sentencing Reform Act, 2011 

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 2011. 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 the Urban Institute (Washington, DC) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by the Urban Institute.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Arrests and Bookings for Federal Offenses, 2011

The data contain records of arrests and bookings for federal offenses in the United States during fiscal year 2011. The data were constructed from the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Prisoner Tracking System database. Records include arrests made by federal law enforcement agencies (including the USMS), state and local agencies, and self-surrenders. Offenders arrested for federal offenses are transferred to the custody of the USMS for processing, transportation, and detention. The Prisoner Tracking System contains data on all offenders within the custody of the USMS. The data file contains variables from the original USMS 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 1.1-1.3. 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.
Survey of Inmates of Federal Correctional Facilities, 1991

This survey provides nationally representative data on
persons held in federal prisons. The survey was designed to supply
information on individual characteristics of prison inmates, such as
their current offenses and sentences, criminal histories, prior drug and
alcohol use and treatment, gun possession and use, gang membership, and
family background. Data on characteristics of victims and on prison
activities, programs, and services are provided as well.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Hate Crime Data, 2010 [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: County-Level Detailed Arrest and Offense Data, United States, 2010

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: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, Summarized Yearly, United States, 2010

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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, United States, 2010

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 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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: 1975-1997

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. By 1985, there were approximately 17,000
law enforcement agencies contributing 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. 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. 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. The Supplementary Homicide Reports provide
incident-based information on criminal homicides. Further, the data,
provided monthly by UCR agencies, contain information describing the
victim of the homicide, the offender, and the relationship between
victim and offender. 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.
Sentencing Outcomes in 28 Felony Courts, 1985 [United States]

The purposes of this study are to describe sentencing
 outcomes in felony courts for selected serious offenses--homicide,
 rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, and drug
 trafficking--and to establish a statistical series on sentencing
 outcomes in felony courts throughout the United States. The
 jurisdictions consist of cities and counties with an average
 population of 1.1 million. Among the jurisdictions, the
 sentencing schemes available varied, with both determinate and
 indeterminate sentencing practices in operation. The study
 distinguishes between core informational items such as criminal
 charges, type of sentence imposed and terms of the prison
 sentence, and optional items such as characteristics of the
offense and the defendant, and how the case was processed.
City Police Expenditures, 1946-1985: [United States]

This study examines police expenditures for selected cities 
 for an extended period of time. The data set contains one variable per 
 year for each of the following items: total general expenditures, 
 expenditure for police protection, deflated general expenditures 
 adjusted for inflation, deflated police expenditures adjusted for 
 inflation, residential population, land area, patterns of population 
 change during the study period, government identification, and implicit 
price deflators of goods and services.
Prosecution of Felony Arrests, 1982: St. Louis

This data collection provides statistical information on how
prosecutors and the courts disposed of criminal cases involving adults
arrested for felony crimes in an individual urban jurisdiction, St.
Louis. The cases in the data file represent cases initiated in 1982,
defined as screened, or filed in 1982. The collection includes
disposition data on felonies for which an initial court charge was
filed (cases filed) and for those felony arrests that were ultimately
indicted or bound over to the felony court for disposition (cases
indicted). It does not include information on all felony arrests
declined for prosecution. It is, with a few exceptions, extracted from
the defendant, case, charge and sentence records.
National Survey of Children: Wave I, 1976, Wave II, 1981, and Wave III, 1987

The purpose of this study was to assess the physical,
social, and psychological well-being of American children, to develop a
national profile of the way children in the United States live, to
permit analysis of the relationships between the conditions of
children's lives and measures of child development, and to examine the
effects of marital disruption on the development of children and on the
operation of single and multi-parent families. Information is provided
on the child's well-being, family, experiences with family disruption,
behavior, physical health, and mental health.
