Reducing Gun Violence through Integrated Forensic Evidence Collection, Analysis and Sharing, New Jersey, 2001-2022 (ICPSR 38948)
Released/updated on: 2024-11-20
Geographic coverage: United States, New Jersey
Time period: 2001-01-01--2022-01-01
This study examined the use of firearms related evidence to enhance violent crime investigations in New Jersey. Major urban police agencies conduct crime gun intelligence programs. However, this New Jersey project was a statewide, multi-jurisdictional effort. The New Jersey State Police (NJSP) initiated this project in 2006 as part of a Governor mandated comprehensive crime reduction strategy. Unlike similar firearms violence strategies, over a 15-year period, this project evolved into a program of the ongoing initiatives that often-produced short-term wins that incrementally changed the business processes and investigative culture within participating agencies. The study worked to illustrate (such as fusion and real time crime centers) that investigative entities across all levels of government - local, state, and federal - to work together to support violent crime suppression efforts. The study sought to demonstrate the importance of fusing firearms forensic evidence such as ballistics imaging with locally available information, such as arrest and incident data on a statewide basis.

Uniform Crime Reports: National Time-Series Community-Level Database, 1967-1980 (ICPSR 8214)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1967-01-01--1980-01-01
The Uniform Crime Reports National Time-Series Data, 1967-1980, include detailed criminal offense and clearance information submitted monthly by over 3,000 consistently reporting law enforcement agencies in the United States. These data, provided in annually pooled cross-sections, were processed at the Center for Applied Social Research, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts to produce easily accessible and highly reliable time-series data on officially reported crime. Originally provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), these data exclude Uniform Crime Report (UCR) data from infrequently reporting law enforcement agencies. In general, only those agencies that submitted ten or more monthly reports in every year during 1967 through 1980 are included in this collection. The data include detailed breakdowns of offenses and clearances taken from disaggregated UCR Return A tapes. Of particular interest are weapon-specific robbery and assault variables, types of rape, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft, and clearances by arrest (or other exceptional means) of adults and juveniles for each offense sub-type. Both monthly and annual counts of these are available. Finally, as an aid to the user, each agency is identified by its FBI "ORI Code" as well as a sequential case number produced and documented by ICPSR in the codebook's appendix. Cases also may be identified by geographic region, state, SMSA, county, population size and group, and frequency of reporting.

Uniform Crime Reports: Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest Time Series Data, 1965-1983 (ICPSR 8631)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1965-01-01--1983-01-01
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program Data is a system designed to monitor the incidence of crime and the activities of law enforcement agencies at the community level. Participating local law enforcement agencies throughout the nation report regularly (usually on a monthly basis) on the volume of selected crimes and arrests and also on the levels of police personnel and types of police activities. This collection consists of time series data relating to offenses known and clearances by arrest for the years 1965-1983, 1970-1983, and 1975-1983. Only those agencies that consistently reported over the three time periods of the study were included. Consistently reporting agencies were defined as those agencies that were in operation during the time of the study and submitted nine or more monthly reports during the calendar year for the three specified time periods. Variables include number of actual offenses reported to the police, the total number of offenses for each category cleared by arrest, and the number of clearances by arrest involving only persons under 18 years of age. Crimes covered are criminal homicide, forcible rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
