Monitoring of Federal Criminal Sentences, [United States], 1999-2000

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, 1999, and September 30, 2000, 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. Part 1, Main
Data File, includes the most important variables for each case, such
as defendant's age, criminal history points, armed criminal status,
case disposition, sentence, and fines applied. Part 2, Supplemental
Data File, contains additional variables involving multiple guideline
computation and count-based statutes. For a more detailed discussion
of the two files, users should consult the codebook.
Organizations Convicted in Federal Criminal Courts, 2000

These data, collected to assist in the development of
sentencing guidelines, describe offense and sentencing characteristics
for organizations sentenced in federal district courts in 2000. 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 of the defendant
organization, whether it was a criminal organization, duration of
criminal activity, and risk to national security. Organizational
Defendants Data, 2000, covers fiscal year October 1, 1999, through
September 30, 2000.
Monitoring of Federal Criminal Convictions and Sentences:  Appeals Data, 2001   

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 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.

California Vital Statistics and Homicide Data, 1990-1999

This data collection resulted from the project "Linked
Homicide File for 1990-1999," which was conducted by the California
Department of Health Services (CDHS), Epidemiology and Prevention for
Injury Control Branch, for the purpose of studying homicide and
providing evidence for the development of strategies to reduce
homicide in California. The researchers combined the strengths of law
enforcement reporting and medical reporting in one dataset. The
homicide data contain information on victims and circumstances of the
34,542 homicides investigated by law enforcement agencies in
California for the period 1990 to 1999. The data are Supplementary
Homicide Reports (SHR), which are received monthly by the Department
of Justice from all local California law enforcement agencies as part
of the national Uniform Crime Reporting program (UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS
[UNITED STATES]: SUPPLEMENTARY HOMICIDE REPORTS, 1976-1999 [ICPSR
3180]). The researchers linked the SHRs to the CDHS vital statistics
mortality data, which contain the death records provided by the
medical examiner or coroner of each county after investigation of the
death. Variables include total number of offenders involved, weapon
used in the homicide, county of the victim's residence, location and
date of the incident, date of death, cause of death, date of arrest
for the suspect, and whether supplemental homicide report matched the
death record. Demographic data include age, sex, and race of the victim
and the suspect, relationships between the suspect and the victim, and
the victim's marital status.
Organizations Convicted in Federal Criminal Courts, 2001

These data, collected to assist in the development of
sentencing guidelines, describe offense and sentencing characteristics
for organizations sentenced in federal district courts in 2001. 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 of the defendant
organization, whether it was a criminal organization, duration of
criminal activity, and risk to national security. Organizational
Defendants Data, 2001, covers fiscal year October 1, 2000, through
September 30, 2001.
Firearm Injury Surveillance Study, 1993-2007 [United States]

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
2007. 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.
Executions in the United States, 1608-1991: The Espy File [Instructional Materials]

These instructional materials were prepared for use with
EXECUTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES, 1608-1991: THE ESPY FILE (ICPSR
8451), compiled by M. Watt Espy and John Ortiz Smykla. The data file
(an SPSS portable file) and accompanying documentation are provided to
assist educators in instructing students about the history of capital
punishment in the United States. An instructor's handout is also
included. This handout contains the following sections, among others:
(1) general goals for student analysis of quantitative datasets, (2)
specific goals in studying this dataset, (3) suggested appropriate
courses for use of the dataset, (4) tips for using the dataset, and
(5) related secondary source readings. This dataset furnishes data on
executions performed under civil authority in the United States
between 1608 and April 24, 1991, and describes each individual executed
and the circumstances surrounding the crime for which the person was
convicted. Variables include age, race, name, sex, and occupation of
the offender, place, jurisdiction, date, and method of execution, and
the crime for which the offender was executed. Also recorded are data
on whether the only evidence for the execution was official records
indicating that an individual (executioner or slave owner) was
compensated for an execution.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  County-Level Detailed Arrest and Offense Data, 2000

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).
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2000

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) is being implemented to meet these guidelines. 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. 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 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 2000, 18 states, fully or partially
participating in NIBRS, were included in the dataset.
State Court Organization Trends, United States, 1980-2011  

This data collection provides detailed comparative information about the structure, policies, and procedures of state-wide trial and appellate court systems for the 50 states and the District of Columbia within the United States for the years 1980, 1987, 1993, 1998, 2004, and 2011. Information gathered includes: the number of courts and judges, judicial selection, governance of court systems (including judicial funding, administration, staffing, and procedures), jury qualifications and verdict rules, and processing and sentencing procedures of criminal cases. Data collection was carried out by the National Center for State Courts.
State Court Organization, United States, 2011 

This data collection provides detailed comparative information about the structure, policies, and procedures of state-wide trial and appellate court systems for the 50 states and the District of Columbia in the United States for 2011. Information gathered includes: the number of courts and judges, judicial selection, governance of court systems (including judicial funding, administration, staffing, and procedures), jury qualifications and verdict rules, and processing and sentencing procedures of criminal cases. Data collection was carried out by the National Center for State Courts.  These data are part of a related collection from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. Virgin Islands in the United States for the years 1980, 1987, 1993, 1998, and 2004.
In 2011, State Court Organization added new variables to the data collection process. The State Court Organization 2011 file contains the historical variables for 2011, as well as the new variables that were introduced in the 2004 collection. The new variables included data about
the courts' information technology systems, including the functions of the court's IT staff, e-filing procedures, accessibility of court information through online systems, and the implementation of case management systems as a means of organizing and managing a court's caseload. The data are reported for trial and appellate courts.
The SCO Trial Court Level Data 2011 file includes a subset of the State Court Organization 2011 file, but only for trial level courts. Some variables in the State Court Organization 2011 file were recoded in the Trial Court Level Data 2011 file.
Annual Survey of Jails, 2016

The Annual Survey of Jails (ASJ) is the only data collection effort that provides an annual source of data on local jails and jail inmates. Data on the size of the jail population and selected inmate characteristics are obtained every five to six years from the Census of Jails. In each of the years between the complete censuses, a sample survey of jails is conducted to estimate
baseline characteristics of the nation's jails and inmates housed in these jails. The 2016 Annual Survey of Jails is the 29th such survey in a series begun in 1982. The ASJ supplies data on characteristics of jails such as admissions and releases, growth in the number of jail facilities, changes in their rated capacities and level of occupancy, growth in the population supervised in the community, changes in methods of community supervision, and crowding issues. The ASJ also provides information on changes in the demographics of the jail population, supervision status of persons held, and a count of non-U.S. citizens in custody. The data presented in this study were collected in the Annual Survey of Jails, 2016. These data are used to track growth in the number of jails and the capacities nationally, changes in the demographics of the jail population and supervision status of persons held, the prevalence of crowding issues, and a count of non-U.S. citizens within the jail population. The data are intended for a variety of users, including Federal and State agencies, local officials in conjunction with jail administrators, researchers, planners, and the public. The reference date for the survey is December 31, 2016.
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2016: 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: National Incident-Based Reporting System, [United States], 2016

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

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 11 separate data files per year, which may be
merged by using linkage variables. Prior to 2013 the data were archived and distributed as 13 separate data files, including three separate batch header record files. Starting with the 2013 data, the FBI combined the three batch header files into one file. Consequently, ICPSR instituted new file numbering for the data. NIBRS data focus on a variety of
aspects of a crime incident. Part 2 (formerly 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 3 (formerly Part 5), Offense Segment (offense type, location, weapon use, and bias
motivation), Part 4 (formerly Part 6), Property Segment (type of property loss, property
description, property value, drug type and quantity), Part 5 (formerly Part 7), Victim
Segment (age, sex, race, ethnicity, and injuries), Part 6 (formerly Part 8), Offender
Segment (age, sex, and race), and Part 7 (formerly Part 9), Arrestee Segment (arrest
date, age, sex, race, and weapon use). The Batch Header Segment (Part 1, formerly 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 8 (formerly Part 10), Group B
Arrest Report Segment, includes arrestee data for Group B crimes.
Window Segments files (Parts 9-11, formerly 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: Supplementary Homicide Reports, United States, 2016

The UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM DATA: SUPPLEMENTARY HOMICIDE REPORTS, 2016 (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: Property Stolen and Recovered, United States, 2016

The UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM DATA: PROPERTY STOLEN AND RECOVERED, UNITED STATES, 2016 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.
