Deaths in Custody Reporting Program: Non-standardized Jail Data, 2001

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.

Deaths in Custody Reporting Program: Arrest-Related Deaths, 2003-2009

The Arrest-Related Deaths (ARD) program is an annual
national census of persons who die either during the
process of arrest or while in the custody of state or local
law enforcement personnel. The Bureau of Justice Statistics
(BJS) implemented the ARD program in 2003 as part of the
Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP). The DCRP
was initiated to fulfill the data collection requirement of the
Deaths in Custody Reporting Act of 2000 (DICRA, P.L. 106-
247). It collects in-depth information on deaths during arrest
and incarceration, and it provides national-level information
on the deaths of suspects and offenders from their initial
contact with law enforcement personnel through the time
they are incarcerated in a jail or prison.
ARD data are collected to quantify and describe the
circumstances surrounding civilian deaths that take place
during an arrest or while in the custody of law enforcement.
These data describe the prevalence and incidence of arrest-related
deaths across the nation, identify the circumstances
or activities that contribute to these deaths, and reveal
trends in the causes and circumstances of these deaths in
custody at national and state levels. These data can be used
to inform specific policies that may increase the safety of
law enforcement officers and citizens, identify training
needs in law enforcement agencies, and assist in developing
prevention strategies.
The current ARD program relies on state reporting
coordinators (SRCs) in each of the 50 states and the District
of Columbia to identify and report on all eligible cases of
arrest-related deaths. BJS compiles data from the states to
produce national-level statistics on deaths that occur in the
process of arrest by, or while in the custody of, state and local
law enforcement personnel.
National Corrections Reporting Program, 2000-2013: Selected Variables

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.
This version of the NCRP contains selected variables making it suitable for public release.
National Prisoner Statistics, 1978-2014

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.
Annual Survey of Jails, 2014

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 2014 Annual Survey of Jails is the 27th 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-citizens in custody. Starting in 2010, BJS enhanced the ASJ survey instruments to address topics on the number of convicted inmates that are unsentenced or sentenced and the number of unconvicted inmates awaiting trial/arraignment, or transfers/holds for other authorities. In order to reduce respondent burden, the ASJ no longer collects data on conviction status by sex.  Also new to the survey, data are collected on jails' operational capacity and design capacity.  Incorporating enhanced capacity measurements enables BJS to describe more accurately the variation and volatility of inmate bed space and crowding, especially as they relate to safety and security in jails.
To address more directly issues related to overcrowding and safety and security in jails, BJS started collecting data on staff and assaults against staff from the largest jails.  In the modifications to the ASJ, starting in 2010, 335 jail jurisdictions (370 respondents) included with certainty in the ASJ sample survey were asked to provide additional information (forms CJ-5D or CJ-5DA) on the flow of inmates going through jails and the distribution of time served, staff characteristics and assaults on staff resulting in death, and inmate misconduct. The data presented in this study were collected in the Annual Survey of Jails, 2014.  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-United States 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 June 30, 2014.
Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies, 2011-2012

These data are from the Bureau of Justice Statistics' (BJS) 2011-
12 Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies. In preparation for the
survey, a universe list of 4-year and 2-year campuses was compiled using the United States Department of Education's Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS).
The survey focused primarily on agencies serving 4-year universities and
colleges with a fall headcount enrollment of 2,500 or more. In addition, 2-year institutions with 2,500 or more students and a sample of 4-year institutions with 1,000 to 2,499 students were surveyed. These
campuses are covered in a separate report. Schools were classified
according to the level of the highest proportion of degrees awarded.
The survey excluded:

United States military academies and schools,
for-profit institutions,
schools operating primarily online.
Of the 905 4-year campuses with 2,500 or more students identified as being
potentially eligible for the 2011-12 survey, 861 reported that they were
operating their own campus law enforcement agency. These
861 agencies were asked to provide data describing their personnel,
functions, expenditures and pay, operations, equipment, computers and
information systems, community policing activities, specialized units, and
emergency preparedness activities. ICF International, with the assistance
of BJS, served as the data collection agent.
BJS also conducted surveys of campus law enforcement agencies covering the
1994-95 and 2004-05 school years. The reports produced from these surveys
are available on the BJS Web site and data are available on the ICPSR Web site.
Annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country, 2013

The purpose of the Survey of Jails in Indian Country is an enumeration of all known adult and juvenile facilities -- jails, confinement facilities, detention centers, and other correctional facilities operated by tribal authorities or the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), United States Department of the Interior. For the purpose of this collection, Indian country includes reservations, pueblos, rancherias, and other Native American and Alaska Native communities throughout the United States. The survey collects data on the number of adults and juveniles held on the last weekday in June 2013, type of offense, average daily population in June, most crowded day in June, admissions and releases in June, number of inmate deaths and suicide attempts, rated capacity, and jail staffing.
Capital Punishment in the United States, 1973-2012

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, 1973-2012 provides annual data on prisoners under a sentence of death, as well as those who had their sentences commuted or vacated and prisoners who were executed. This study examines basic sociodemographic classifications including age, sex, race and ethnicity, marital status at time of imprisonment, level of education, and state and region of incarceration. Criminal history information includes prior felony convictions and prior convictions for criminal homicide and the legal status at the time of the capital offense. Additional information is provided on those inmates removed from death row by yearend 2012.
The dataset consists of one part which contains 9,058 cases. The file provides information on inmates whose death sentences were removed in addition to information on those inmates who were executed. The file also gives information about inmates who received a second death sentence by yearend 2012 as well as inmates who were already on death row.

Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS), 2013

The Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS) survey collects data from a nationally representative sample of state and local law enforcement agencies in the United States. Although the data collection instrument (see page 150 of the codebook) uses the year 2012 for the title, most questions have a reference date of January 1, 2013. For this reason, the study title uses the year 2013. The 2013 LEMAS sample design called for the survey questionnaire to be sent to 3,336 general purpose state and local law enforcement agencies including 2,353 local police departments, 933 sheriffs' offices, and the 50 primary state law enforcement agencies. The design called for all agencies employing 100 or sworn personnel to be included with certainty (self-representing) and for smaller agencies to be sampled from strata base on number of officers employed. A total of 26 local police departments were determined to be out-of-scope for the survey because they were closed, outsourced, or operating on a part-time basis. A total of 38 sheriffs' offices were excluded from the survey because they had no primary law enforcement jurisdiction. The final mailout total of 3,272 agencies included 2,327 local police departments, 895 sheriffs' offices, and the 50 state agencies.
Firearm Injury Surveillance Study, 1993-2004 [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
 2004. 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.
State Court Organizations, 2004 [United States]

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, the District of Columbia, and
 Puerto Rico in the United States as of June 31, 2004. 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.
National Violent Death Reporting System, 2004

The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)
collects data on violent deaths, i.e., suicides, homicides, and legal
intervention, including terrorism-related incidents. The system also
includes some other types of deaths, namely deaths due to undetermined
intent and unintentional deaths due to firearms. One of the main
reasons for including these types of deaths is that there is overlap
in how these deaths are coded. For example, a particular poisoning
case may be classified as an undetermined death in one state, but in a
neighboring state, the same case may be coded as a suicide or an
unintentional poisoning. NVDRS is an incident-based system that
collects data from different data sources, including death
certificates, coroner and medical examiner records, police reports,
crime lab data, and child fatality review records. The system collects
data on a violent incident, the deaths belonging to that incident, the
injury mechanisms leading to death, and the alleged perpetrators
(suspects) involved in the violent incident. The relationship of the
victim to the suspect is also recorded, as are the relationships of
each person to the injury mechanisms included. State health
departments participating in NVDRS typically identify relevant violent
deaths as their death certificates are filed and then establish the
details of the cases from medical examiner, coroner, and law
enforcement records. Data collection is ongoing as the source
documents from the different data providers become available at
different times and intervals. The data represent the violent
incidents that occurred between January and December of that data year
as submitted by the participating states.

Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, 1994

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.
