Deaths in Custody Reporting Program: Non-standardized Jail Data, 2004

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. The DCRP collects inmate death records from each of the nation's 50 state prison systems and approximately 2,800 local jail jurisdictions. In addition, this program collects records of all deaths occurring during the process of arrest. Data are collected directly from state and local law enforcement agencies.
Death records include information on decedent personal characteristics (age, race or Hispanic origin, and sex), decedent criminal background (legal status, offense type, and time served), and the death itself (date, time, location, and cause of death, as well as information on the autopsy and medical treatment provided for any illness or disease).
This data collection represents a single year of DCRP Jails data. The variable names and coding, while similar to other years, have not been standardized across years. The concatenated multi-year versions of the DCRP Jails population data have been edited to correct outliers and other data anomalies. Researchers are encouraged to use the concatenated multi-year data for final jail population data.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants in Federal Criminal Cases -- Terminated, 2011

The data contain records of defendants in federal criminal cases terminated in United States District Court during fiscal year 2011. 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: Charges Filed Against Defendants in Criminal Cases in District Court, 2011

The data contain records of charges filed against defendants whose cases were filed 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: Offenders in Prison at Year-End, 2011

The data contain records of sentenced offenders in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at year-end of fiscal year 2011. The data include commitments of United States District Court, violators of conditions of release (e.g., parole, probation, or supervised release violators), offenders convicted in other courts (e.g., military or District of Columbia courts), and persons admitted to prison as material witnesses or for purposes of treatment, examination, or transfer to another authority. These data include variables that describe the offender, such as age, race, citizenship, as well as variables that describe the sentences and expected prison terms. The data file contains original variables from the Bureau of Prisons' SENTRY database, as well as "SAF" variables that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics, Tables 7.9-7.16. 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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, 2002  

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. Law enforcement agencies contribute
reports either directly or through their state reporting programs.
Each year, summary data are 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 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.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Offenders Released From Prison, 2011

The data contain records of sentenced offenders released from the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) during fiscal year 2011. The data include commitments of United States District Court, violators of conditions of release (e.g., parole, probation, or supervised release violators), offenders convicted in other courts (e.g., military or District of Columbia courts), and persons admitted to prison as material witnesses or for purposes of treatment, examination, or transfer to another authority. Records of offenders who exit federal prison temporarily, such as for transit to another location, to serve a weekend sentence, or for health care, are not included in the exiting cohort. These data include variables that describe the offender, such as age, race, citizenship, as well as variables that describe the sentences and expected prison terms. The data file contains original variables from the Bureau of Prisons' SENTRY database, as well as "SAF" variables that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics, Tables 7.9-7.16. 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: Defendants in Federal Criminal Cases in District Court -- Terminated, 2011

The data contain records of defendants in criminal cases terminated in United States District Court during fiscal year 2011. 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, 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 4.1-4.5 and 5.1-5.6. 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: Defendants in Federal Criminal Cases in District Court -- Pending, 2011

Organizations Convicted in Federal Criminal Courts, 2009

These data, collected to assist in the development of
sentencing guidelines, describe offense and sentencing characteristics
for organizations sentenced in federal district courts in 2009. 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, 2009, covers fiscal year
October 1, 2008, through September 30, 2009.
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Sentences, [United States], 2008-2009

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, 2008, and September 30, 2009, 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.
Uniform Crime Reports [United States]:  Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-1994

These data provide incident-level information on criminal
 homicides including date, location, circumstances, and method of
 offense, as well as demographic characteristics of victims and
 perpetrators and the relationship between the two. The data were
 provided monthly to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) by local
 law enforcement agencies participating in the FBI's Uniform Crime
 Reporting Program. For this dataset, the original Uniform Crime
 Reports data were completely restructured into a nested, or
 hierarchical, form with repeating offender records. Specifically, the
 file contains one record for each agency per year (record type "A"),
 nested within which is one record per incident (record type
 "I"). Victim records (record type "V") are in turn nested within
 incident records, and offender data are repeated for all offenders on
 each victim record. The data file structure is the same as that used
 in UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS [UNITED STATES]: SUPPLEMENTARY HOMICIDE
 REPORTS, 1976-1992 (ICPSR 6387), except that negligent manslaughters,
 justifiable homicides, and one variable (RETAHOM) are not available in
 this updated file. Part 2, ORI List, contains Originating Agency
 Identifier codes used by the FBI, along with the corresponding agency
name.
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 1999: 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.
