title: CBS News/New York Times Monthly Poll, February 1994
title: Version 1

description: This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Topics included President Bill Clinton's handling of issues such as foreign policy, the economy, crime, the Whitewater deal, unemployment, and gun control. Respondents were asked to rate the condition of the national economy and were queried as to whether they thought the unemployment rate was going up, down, or had stayed the same in the previous few months. Questions on the situation in the former Yugoslavia included whether the United States had a responsibility to do something about the fighting between the Serbs and the Bosnians. Focusing on health care reform, respondents were asked if they thought Congress would pass a health care plan before the end of the year, whether the health care reform plan Clinton proposed was fair to people like them, and, if the Clinton health care reform plan was adopted, whether they thought the quality of the health care they and their family received would improve. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, household composition, vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, religious preference, and family income.

title: CBS News/New York Times Monthly Poll, March 1994
title: Version 1

description: This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Standard topics included President Bill Clinton's handling of his job, foreign policy, and the economy. Respondents were also asked for their opinions of Hillary Clinton and her influence on the president's decisions. In addition, the issues of health care and the Whitewater deal were addressed in detail. Respondents were asked how much they worried about not finding good medical care and not having enough health insurance, whether they thought that the health care plan Clinton proposed would bring about the changes needed in the health care system, whether the plan was fair to people like them, and, if Clinton's plan was adopted, whether the quality of the health care they and their family received would improve. Questions on the Whitewater deal probed respondents' beliefs on how important an issue it was to the nation, whether President Clinton participated in a cover-up of the Whitewater situation, and whether Republicans in Congress criticized President Clinton about Whitewater because they cared about ethics, or because they were looking for political gain. Respondents were also asked for their opinions regarding which nation posed the greatest threat to world peace, and the degree to which they trusted Japan, Germany, Great Britain, China, and Russia. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, household composition, vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, religious preference, and family income.

title: CBS News/New York Times Monthly Poll, April 1994
title: Version 1

description: This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked about the economy and about the responsibility of the United States in the international arena in general and in Bosnia in particular. Opinions were also solicited on Hillary Clinton and her role as First Lady, the Whitewater real estate deal, and the importance of the news media in forming public opinion. The topic of religion was covered in detail, with particular attention to respondents who identified themselves as Catholic. Catholic respondents were asked whether they had said the rosary, gone to confession, attended a meeting of a Catholic organization, or prayed in private during the preceding 30 days. Further questions concerned whether the Catholic Church was in touch with the needs of Catholics, and if the respondent was in favor of letting Catholic priests get married, allowing women to be ordained as Catholic priests, and having girls assist in altar duties. Other topics covered whether people can be considered "good Catholics" if they get divorced and remarry, practice artificial birth control, or engage in homosexual relations. Additional questions asked Catholic respondents whether they thought that the Church's teaching on premarital sex, the shortage of priests and nuns, and reports of priests sexually abusing children would hurt the Church. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, household composition, vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, religious preference, and family income.

title: CBS News/New York Times Monthly Poll, May 1994
title: Version 1

description: This poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Besides the standard questions on President Bill Clinton's performance, a series of questions was included focusing on the theme of taking responsibility, both in terms of people in the United States government and the general population. Respondents were asked if they thought that most people in government positions were willing to take responsibility when things go wrong and, if they say they are taking responsibility, whether they say so to avoid fixing the problem. Additional questions asked whether people today were willing to take responsibility when they had done something wrong, whether it's wrong to make excuses to get out of personal and civic responsibilities, whether the respondent had ever invented excuses to avoid responsibility, and what the best excuse was that they had ever given. Respondents' opinions on crime, criminal trials, and criminal defenses were addressed in detail, and opinions on specific cases, including the Lorena Bobbitt and Eric and Lyle Menendez criminal trials, were solicited. Background information on respondents includes voter registration status, household composition, vote choice in the 1992 presidential election, political party, political orientation, education, age, sex, race, religious preference, and family income.

title: Sentencing in Eight United States District Courts, 1973-1978
title: Version 1

description: This data collection provides information about sentencing patterns established by the United States District Courts for federal offenses. It is one of only a few studies that examine federal sentencing patterns, court involvement, sentencing, and criminal histories. Eleven types of crimes are included: bank robbery, embezzlement, income tax evasion, mail theft, forgery, drugs, random other, false claims, homicide, bribery of a public official, and mail fraud. There are three kinds of data files that pertain to the 11 types of crimes: psi files, offense files, and AO files. The psi files describe defendant demographic background and criminal history. The offense files contain questions tailored to a particular type of offense committed by a defendant and the results of conviction and sentencing. The AO files provide additional information on defendants' background characteristics, court records, and dates of court entry and exit.

description: Government Finance Statistics Series
description: Due to an agreement between ICPSR and the IMF, this study is available only to users at IPCSR member institutions. Those who wish to use the study and are at non-member institutions should contact the IMF directly.
ICPSR's subscription with the IMF for monthly updates of the GOVERNMENT FINANCE STATISTICS (ICPSR 8624) series expired with the July 1998 tapes.
The data for dataset 1 are stored in the packed zoned decimal format as distributed by the IMF. A supplemental COBOL processing program is available for use with this data file as dataset 2. Dataset 3 comprises the yearly records as extracted from the IMF data file.
One original codebook now documents the four IMF studies: DIRECTION OF TRADE (ICPSR 7628), INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATISTICS (ICPSR 7629), BALANCE OF PAYMENTS STATISTICS (ICPSR 8623), and GOVERNMENT FINANCE STATISTICS (ICPSR 8624). The original codebook is part of dataset 1 for all four studies.
Each time series can contain a variable number of logical records. The exact number of records in any time series in this collection is dependent upon the availability of data. Approximately 35,000 time series are included in this collection.
The full detail of general government operations is shown in national currency in country presentations, with major components and expenditures on education, health, social security and agriculture shown also as a percent of gross domestic product (GDP).
Years for which no data are available have been eliminated from each time series.
Dataset 3 has been added to the collection. Dataset 3 comprises the yearly records extracted from the IMF data file. The variable extraction was performed using SAS' PROC DATASOURCE. The data file generated by this extraction was subsequently processed with ICPSR's automated production routine. The new data should be considered minimally processed as no variable value checks or comparisons were performed. Variable descriptions for both dataset 1 and dataset 3 are found in the codebook for dataset 1.

title: Federal Justice Statistics Program: Suspects in Federal Criminal Matters Concluded, 1994 [United States]
title: Version 1

description: The data contain records of suspects in federal criminal matters concluded by United States attorneys or United States magistrates during fiscal year 1994. The data were constructed from the Executive Office for United States Attorneys (EOUSA) Central System file. Records include suspects in criminal matters, and are limited to suspects whose matters were not declined immediately by the United States attorneys. 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, Tables 1.2-1.5. 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.
description: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection: Created variable labels and/or value labels..
