UCR
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. Law enforcement agencies contribute
reports either directly or through their state reporting programs.
Each year, summary data are 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. The 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.
