Summary: |
Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic
nationwide assessments of reported crimes not available elsewhere in
the criminal justice system. By 1985, there were approximately 17,000
law enforcement agencies contributing reports either directly or
through their state reporting programs. Each year, this information is
reported in four types of files: (1) Offenses Known and Clearances by
Arrest, (2) Property Stolen and Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide
Reports (SHR), and (4) Police Employee (LEOKA) Data. Offenses Known
and Clearances by Arrest data files include monthly data on the number
of Crime Index offenses reported and the number of offenses cleared by
arrest or other means. The counts include all reports of Index Crimes
(excluding arson) received from victims, officers who discovered
infractions, or other sources. The Property Stolen and Recovered data
are collected on a monthly basis by all UCR contributing agencies.
These data, aggregated at the agency level, report on the nature of
the crime, the monetary value of the property stolen, and the type of
property stolen. Similar information regarding recovered property is
also included in the data. The Supplementary Homicide Reports provide
incident-based information on criminal homicides. Further, the data,
provided monthly by UCR agencies, contain information describing the
victim of the homicide, the offender, and the relationship between
victim and offender. The Police Employee (LEOKA) Data provide
information about law enforcement officers killed or assaulted (hence
the acronym, LEOKA) in the line of duty. The variables created from
the LEOKA forms provide in-depth information on the circumstances
surrounding killings or assaults, including type of call answered,
type of weapon used, and type of patrol the officers were on.

Version History: |
2009-06-24 The previous version of the Stata data file for Part 87 did not match the codebook. The problem was fixed and the data and setup files were recreated. 2005-09-30 The column locations were corrected for
variables V12 and V153 in the SPSS setup file for Part 11,
Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1982. Several corrections were made to
the data file for Part 85, Supplementary Homicide Reports, 1994. The
SAS and SPSS setup files and the PDF codebook for Part 85 were updated
to reflect the corrections. 2005-07-29 Corrected the variable label for V942 in
Parts 30, 35, 49, and 50 from "DEC: TOT CLR KNIFE ASSLT" to "DEC: TOT
CLR GUN ASSLT." The SAS and SPSS setup files and the PDF codebooks
were all updated to reflect the correction. 2005-04-15 Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest,
1975 was updated at the same time that the years 1960-1974 were added
to the UCR collection. The 1975 data have been updated to have a
format consistent with the 1960-1974 data. 2005-01-19 The data files for Offenses Known and
Clearances by Arrest for 1980 (Part 1) and 1995 (Part 87) have been
reprocessed in order to add the variable 'Covered by Code.' The data
files for Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest for 1991 (Part 71)
and 1992 (Part 75) have been reprocessed in order to correct the
variable 'Covered by Code.' All corresponding SPSS and SAS setup files
and PDF codebooks have been updated to reflect these changes. 2005-01-11 SAS and SPSS setup files for Parts 2,
4-6, 8-10, 12, 15, 16, 19-23, 26-28, 30-32, 35, 37, 39, 40, 45, 49,
51-57, 59-61, 63, and 66 have been updated from OSIRIS to LRECL
format. 2004-08-24 The SAS setup files for Parts 137, 141,
145, 184, 201-204, 237-252 have been incorporated with their
respective datasets. The data files for Parts 2, 4-6, 8-10, 12, 13,
15-17, 19-23, 26-28, 30-32, 35-37, 39, 40, 44, 45, 49-57, 59-61, 63,
and 66 have been updated from OSIRIS to LRECL format and the OSIRIS
dictionaries have been removed. The ASCII codebooks for Parts 1, 33,
41, and 67 have been removed. The SAS setup files for Parts 1, 3, 7,
11, 13, 17, 36, 44, 50, 65, 67-87, 91, and 95 have been updated. The
SPSS setup files for Parts 13, 17, 36, 44, 50, 65, 67-69, 71-82, 84,
85, 91, 94, 95, and 97 have been updated. The PDF codebooks for Parts
2, 4-6, 8-17, 19-23, 26-28, 30-32, 35-37, 39, 40, 44, 45, 49-57,
59-61, 63, 65-70, 72, 73, 75-79, 81-83, 87, 91, 93, 95, 97, and 98
have been updated. The case counts for Parts 1, 3, 14, 38, and 46 have
been corrected in the study description. The variable counts for Parts
1, 24, 38, 46, 58, 62, and 70 have been corrected in the study
description. The logical record length for Parts 1, 38, 46, 58, 62,
and 70 have been corrected in the study description. 2004-02-24 Data for Part 64 (Property Stolen and
Recovered, 1989) have been updated. The data were reprocessed using
the original data file supplied by the principal investigator, and
corresponding SAS and SPSS setup files have been created. The codebook
has also been revised to reflect these changes. 2002-05-21 The data file for Part 83, Offenses
Known and Clearances by Arrest, 1994, has been replaced to correct a
problem with the values for the Address variables. The codebook and
corresponding SAS and SPSS setup files have been modified and replaced
as well. 2000-10-18 The data file for Part 97, Supplementary
Homicide Reports, 1997, has been replaced because the values for
"Justifiable Homicide" were missing. The codebook and SAS and SPSS
setup files have been modified as well. 2000-09-22 The data file for Part 29, Police
Employee (LEOKA) Data, 1984, has been resupplied. The codebook and SAS
and SPSS setup files have been modified as well. 2000-09-11 SAS and SPSS setup files have been
replaced for Parts 87-90 and Portable Document Format (PDF) codebooks
are now available for Parts 71-90. 2000-08-28 SPSS setup files have been replaced for
Parts 51-57, 59-61, 63-64, and 66 and SAS setup files have been added

codebooks are now available for Parts 51-57, 59-61, 63-66, and 68-70. 2000-08-23 SPSS setup files have been replaced for
Parts 23-24, 26, 28, 30-33, 35-40, 44-45, and 49, and were added for
Parts 22 and 27. SAS setup files have been replaced for Parts 24 and
33, and added for Parts 22-23, 26-28, 30-32, 35-40, 44-45, and
49. Portable Document Format (PDF) codebooks are now available for
Parts 22-23, 26-28, 30-32, 35-40, 44-45, and 49-50. 2000-08-11 Codebooks are now available in Portable
