      	<dc:description>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 2001, 21 states and the District of
 Columbia, fully or partially participating in NIBRS, were included in
the dataset.</dc:description>
