AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
National Jail Census, 1970

This census provides information on county and municipal 
 jails facilities in the United States and their administration. For
 all jails, the data 
 include number of prisoners and their reason for being held, age and 
 sex of prisoners, maximum sentence that could be served in the 
 facility, facility capacity and age, types of security available, and 
 operating expenditures. For jails in counties and municipalities with
 populations of 25,000 or more, data are supplied on quarterly jail 
 population, age of cells, and availability of service facilities and 
programs for inmates.
National Crime Victimization Survey: Unbounded Data, 2002

The National Crime Victimization Survey: Unbounded Data
(also referred to as the All Rotations Data) are now being made
available to the public for analytic use. These data differ from the
"regular" National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) data in that they
contain the first interview with respondents. The National Crime
Victimization Survey Series, previously called the National Crime
Surveys (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. The survey categorizes crimes as
"personal" or "property." Personal crimes include rape and sexual
attack, 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.

National Incident-Based Reporting System, 2011: 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.
National Crime Victimization Survey: Stalking Victimization Supplement, 2006

The Supplemental Victimization Survey (SVS) was designed to measure
the prevalence, characteristics, and consequences of nonfatal stalking
so that policymakers, academic researchers, practitioners at the
federal, state and local levels, and advocates could make informed
decisions concerning policies and programs. The SVS asks questions
related to victims' experiences of unwanted contact or harassing
behavior on two or more occasions during the previous 12 months. The
survey provides information about the following dimensions of stalking
behavior: relationship of the perpetrator to victim; onset, duration,
and desistance; other crimes and injuries committed against the victim
in conjunction with stalking; victim response; criminal justice
response; and cost to victim.  These responses are linked to the National
Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)
survey instrument responses for a more complete understanding of the
stalking victim's circumstances.
The 2006 SVS was a one-time
supplement to the annual NCVS to obtain specific information about
stalking victimization on a national level.  This supplement was
sponsored by the Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) in the
United States Department of Justice.  Since the SVS is a supplement to the
NCVS, it is conducted under the authority of Title 42, United States
Code, Section 3732. Only Census employees sworn to preserve
confidentiality may see the completed questionnaires.
National Crime Victimization Survey: School Crime Supplement, 2011

The primary purpose of the School Crime Supplement (SCS) is to obtain additional information about school-related victimizations so that policymakers; academic researchers; practitioners at the federal, state, and local levels; and special interest groups who are concerned with crime in schools can make informed decisions concerning policies and programs. The SCS asks questions related to students' experiences with, and perceptions of crime and safety at school, including preventive measures employed by schools; students' participation in after school activities; students' perception of school rules and enforcement of these rules; the presence of weapons, drugs, alcohol, and gangs in school;
student bullying; hate-related incidents; and attitudinal questions relating to the fear of victimization at school. These responses are linked to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) survey instrument responses for a more complete understanding of the individual student's circumstances.

Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants in Federal Criminal Cases in District Court -- Pending, 1995 [United States]

The data contain records of defendants in criminal cases filed in United States District Court before or during fiscal year 1995 and still pending as of year-end. 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.
National Crime Victimization Survey: School Crime Supplement, 2005

This supplement to the National Crime Victimization Survey
 (formerly the National Crime Surveys) was designed to collect data on
 crime victimization in schools in the United States. Student
 respondents were asked a series of questions to determine their school
 attendance in the last six months. Other questions concerning schools
 were posed including preventive measures employed by schools,
 students' participation in after-school activities, students'
 perception of school rules and enforcement of these rules, the
 presence of weapons, drugs, alcohol, and gangs in schools, student
 bullying, hate-related incidents, and attitudinal questions relating
 to the fear of victimization at school. Other variables cover general
 violent crimes, personal larceny crimes, and household crimes and
 offer information on date, time, and place of crime. Demographic
 characteristics of household members such as age, sex, race,
 education, employment, household income, and marital status are
provided.
Federal Justice Statistics Program: Defendants Charged in Criminal Cases Filed in District Court, 2001 [United States]

The data contain records of defendants in federal criminal cases filed in United States District Court during fiscal year 2001. 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.

National Crime Victimization Survey: MSA Data, 1979-2004

The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), previously
 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 survey is administered by the United States Census Bureau (under
 the United States Department of Commerce) on behalf of the Bureau of
 Justice Statistics (under the United States Department of Justice).
 Occasionally there have been extract or supplement files created from
 the NCVS and NCS data series. This extract contains two data files, a
 weighted person-based file, and a weighted incident-based file, which
 contain the "core" counties within the top 40 National Crime
 Victimization Survey Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). Core
 counties within these MSAs are defined as those self-representing
 primary sampling units that are common to the MSA definitions
 determined by the Office of Management and Budget for the 1970-based,
 1980-based, and 1990-based sample designs. Each MSA is comprised of
 only the core counties and not all counties within the MSA. The
 person-based file contains select household and person variables for
 all people in NCVS-interviewed households in the core counties of the
 40 largest MSAs from January 1979 through December 2004. The
 incident-based file contains select household, person, and incident
 variables for persons who reported a violent crime within any of the
 core counties of the 40 largest MSAs from January 1979 through
 December 2004. Household, person, and incident information for persons
 reporting non-violent crime are excluded from this file. The 40
 largest MSAs were determined based on the number of household
interviews in an MSA.
