  Description:
    Abstract:  
      This data set shows crime statistics for the United States for the 
      years 1994-1998, drawn from the Uniform Crime Reporting Program data 
      compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and archived at the 
      Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).
      Crime data are reported by county and are provided for eight crimes: 
      murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, 
      motor vehicle theft, and arson. Statewide allocation data are not 
      included in this data set.  Crime data are adjusted to compensate for 
      incomplete reporting by individual law enforcement agencies.  See the 
      online codebooks at <http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/NACJD/> for more 
      information. 
    Purpose: 
      These data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the 
      national level, and for large regional areas.  The data should be 
      displayed and analyzed at scales appropriate for 1:2,000,000-scale data. 
      No responsibility is assumed by the Department of Justice, the U.S. 
      Geological Survey, or the ICPSR in the use of these data.
    Supplemental_Information:
      Some of the crime data reported in this file was estimated.  Where 
      agencies reported for 12 months, the data were included as reported.  
      Where agencies reported for between three and eleven months, the data 
      were increased by a weight of (12/months reported).  Where agencies 
      reported for one or two months, the actual data were not included, 
      but estimated data for the entire year were calculated based on rates 
      computed using data from 12-month reporting agencies within the same 
      geographic stratum (defined by population group) within that State.  
      Where agencies did not report at all, no estimations were performed.

      Study Number 2910.

  Completeness_Report: 
    This data set includes crime statistics for the 50 United States as 
    collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, from reports submitted 
    by agencies and States participating in the Uniform Crime Reporting 
    Program.  This is a voluntary program so the data may not include reports 
    from all law enforcement agencies.  Data collected for a State but not 
    attributable to a specific county (Statewide allocations) are not 
    included.

    Process_Step:
      Process_Description:
        Comma-delimited text files for individual years, containing selected 
        attributes, were received from the Bureau of Justice Statistics data 
        archive (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan.  The text files were 
        loaded into Excel and output in dBase IV format, then loaded into 
        ArcView for processing.  FIPS codes in the data were converted to 
        strings and leading zeros added as appropriate.  The FIPS code for 
        Dade County, FL was changed in the 1994, 1995, and 1996 files to match 
        the new FIPS code for Miami-Dade County, FL.  Attribute names were 
        modified to allow combination of data from several years.  The 
        individual year files were merged into one large file and saved in 
        dBase IV format.

        The county boundaries file was loaded into ArcView and the FIPS code 
        for Dade County was changed to the new code for Miami-Dade County.  
        The name was also changed.  The area of Skagway-Yakatut-Angoon Census 
        Area, Alaska was divided into Yakatut Borough and Skagway-Hoonah-
        Angoon Census Area, and the FIPS codes were adjusted.  County 
        boundaries for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands were deleted.  
        Twelve polygons that represented water areas were also deleted.

        The crimes database was joined to the edited county boundaries file 
        and the result saved in shapefile format.

        An indication of the proportion of the data that is not estimated, for

        county reported for 12 months of the year, and none of the data were 
        estimated.  A value of 0 indicates that all data for the county are 
        based on estimates rather than reported data.  The coverage indicator 
        (CI) for each county is calculated as follows:

        Where agency pop is the population represented by the reporting 
        agency, and pop_arr96 is the total population for the county (as

        agencies reporting 1-2 months of data, because any data provided by 
        these agencies was set to zero and the data were estimated using the 
        procedure described above.

        based on estimates rather than reported data.  The coverage indicator 
        (CI) for each county is calculated as follows:
        >CI = (1-(sum((agency pop/pop_arr94)((12-months reported/12))))*100
        Where agency pop is the population represented by the reporting 
        agency, and pop_arr94 is the total population for the county (as 
        defined above).  The value for "months reported" will be 0 for 
        agencies reporting 1-2 months of data because any data provided by
        these agencies was set to zero and the data were estimated using the 
        procedure described above.
