Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]:  Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, 1974  

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.

Police-Public Contact Survey, 2018

The Police-Public Contact Survey (PPCS) provides detailed information on the nature and characteristics of face-to-face contacts between police and the public, including the reason for and outcome of the contact and the respondent's satisfaction with the contact. The data can be used to estimate the likelihood of different types of contact for residents with different demographic characteristics, including contacts involving the use of nonfatal force by police. The PPCS is used to collect data from a nationally representative sample of U.S. residents age 16 or older as a supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey. To date, the PPCS has been conducted eight times by BJS:
1. 1996. Described in the BJS publication Police Use of Force: Collection of National Data (NCJ 165040).
2. 1999. Described in Contacts between Police and the Public: Findings from the 1999 National Survey (NCJ 184957). These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 1999: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 3151).
3. 2002. Described in Contacts between Police and the Public: Findings from the 2002 National Survey (NCJ 207845). These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2002: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 4273).
4. 2005. Described in the BJS publication Contacts between Police and the Public, 2005 (NCJ 215243). These data are archived as POLICE-PUBLIC CONTACT SURVEY, 2005: [UNITED STATES] (ICPSR 020020).

State Court Statistics, 2007

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.
Survey of Prison Inmates, United States, 2016

To fulfill part of its mission, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) conducted the Survey of Prison Inmates (SPI), a national, wide-ranging survey of prisoners age 18 or older who were incarcerated in state or federal correctional facilities within the United States. SPI provides national statistics on prisoner characteristics across a variety of domains, such as current offense and sentence, incident characteristics, firearm possession and sources, criminal history, demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, family background, drug and alcohol use and treatment, mental and physical health and treatment, and facility programs and rules violations. SPI can also be used to track changes in these characteristics over time, describe special populations of prisoners, and identify policy-relevant changes in the state and federal prison populations. Formerly the Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities (SISFCF), this survey was renamed SPI with the 2016 iteration.
National Crime Victimization Survey, Concatenated File, [United States], 1992-2019

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 1992-2019. 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 37645.

This version of the NCVS, referred to as the collection year, contains records from interviews conducted in the 12 months of the given year.
National Prisoner Statistics, [United States], 1978-2018

The National Prisoner Statistics (NPS) data collection began in 1926 in response to a congressional mandate to gather information on persons incarcerated in state and federal prisons. Originally under the auspices of the United States Census Bureau, the collection moved to the Bureau of Prisons in 1950, and then in 1971 to the National Criminal Justice Information and Statistics Service, the precursor to the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) which was established in 1979. Since 1979, the Census Bureau has been the NPS data collection agent. The NPS is administered to 51 respondents. Before 2001, the District of Columbia was also a respondent, but responsibility for housing the District of Columbia's sentenced prisoners was transferred to the federal Bureau of Prisons, and by yearend 2001 the District of Columbia no longer operated a prison system. The NPS provides an enumeration of persons in state and federal prisons and collects data on key characteristics of the nation's prison population. NPS has been adapted over time to keep pace with the changing information needs of the public, researchers, and federal, state, and local governments.

Census of Federal Law Enforcement Officers (CFLEO), [United States], Fiscal Year 2016

In 2016, there were approximately 132,000 full-time federal law enforcement officers who were authorized to make arrests and carry firearms in the United States and its territories. This data collection comes from the Census of Federal Law Enforcement Officers (CFLEO) and describes the agencies, functions, sex, and race of these officers. The data cover federal officers with arrest and firearm authority in both supervisory and non-supervisory roles employed as of September 30, 2016. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) administered the CFLEO to 86 federal agencies employing officers with arrest and firearm authority. The data do not include officers stationed in foreign countries and also exclude officers in the U.S. Armed Forces.
National Census of Victim Service Providers, [United States], 2017

The purpose of the National Census of Victim Service Providers (NCVSP) is to describe the field of organizations or programs that are dedicated to serving victims of crime or abuse. The NCVSP collects characteristics about victim service providers (VSPs) over the past year, including the structure of the organization, the services the organization provided to victims, the availability of a hotline/helpline for victims, the types of crimes for which victims received services, the number of staff providing victim services, and current issues of concern to victim service providers. The information is intended for use by policymakers, practitioners at the Federal, state and local levels, academic researchers, and special interest groups to inform decisions related to victim services and the organizations that provide these services. The NCVSP also provides descriptive information about the full universe of organizations that provide crime victim services that can be used to develop representative samples for the National Survey of Victim Service Providers (NSVSP) and other VSP surveys.
Annual Probation Survey, 2016

The 2016 Annual Probation Survey provides a count of the total number of persons supervised on probation on January 1 and December 31, 2016, and a count of the number of persons entering and exiting probation supervision during 2016. The survey also provides counts of the number of probationers by certain characteristics, such as gender, race, Hispanic or Latino origin, offense, and supervision status. The survey covers all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the federal system.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, 2000

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.
National Incident-Based Reporting System, 1999

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 1999, 18 states, fully or partially
participating in NIBRS, were included in the dataset.
Uniform Crime Reports [United States]:  Homicide Victimization and Offending Rates, 1976-1999  

Drawing on information from several sources, this dataset
 provides cross-sectional time-series data on homicide victimization
 and offending counts and rates for the United States and each of the
 50 states for the years 1976-1999, disaggregated by age, sex, and
 race. Specifically, data from the FBI's Supplementary Homicide Reports
 (SHR) were used to assemble victim and offender counts for various
 demographic groups, and U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates for
 population by age, race, and sex were employed to transform these
 counts into rates per 100,000. In addition, because the SHR program
 fails to provide a complete count of homicides, national and state
 estimates, published in the FBI's annual publication CRIME IN THE
 UNITES STATES, were used to benchmark and adjust SHR homicide
 counts. To ensure consistency between these rates and those published
 by the FBI, population data were also adjusted to match the population
totals used in the FBI's publication.
National Corrections Reporting Program, [United States], 2000-2017

The National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) compiles offender-level data on admissions and releases from state and federal prisons and post-confinement community supervision. The data are used to monitor the nation's correctional population and address specific policy questions related to recidivism, prisoner reentry, and trends in demographic characteristics of the incarcerated and community supervision populations. The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) has administered the NCRP since 1983. Abt Associates has served as the NCRP data collection agent since October 2010.
Uniform Crime Reports [United States]:  Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1976-1999

These data provide incident-level information on criminal
 homicides including 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.
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, 1999

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.
