Uniform Crime Reports, 1966-1976: Data Aggregated by Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (ICPSR 7743)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1966-01-01--1976-01-01
This data collection contains a revised SMSA (Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area) aggregate version of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) statistics gathered from 1966-1976, in which original UCR agency records are combined to produce several types of crime rates, by SMSA, for eight crimes. The data were prepared by the Hoover Institution for Economic Studies of the Criminal Justice System, at Stanford University. The data in the file are an aggregation of all relevant law enforcement reporting agencies into 291 SMSAs, and corresponding approximate aggregations of crime rates and dispositions. Each record contains crime rates for one SMSA in one specific year, with data including annual statistics of eight index crimes, i.e., murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Calculations include offense-based clearance rates (the number of clearances of juvenile clearances per reported offense), clearance-based rates (the number of persons charged per offense cleared by arrest), and charge-based rates (the number of persons whose cases were disposed in a particular manner per person charged). A related study is UNIFORM CRIME REPORTS, 1966-1976 (ICPSR 7676).

Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 3): Milwaukee African American Sample, 2016-2017 (ICPSR 37120)
Released/updated on: 2023-03-16
Geographic coverage: Milwaukee, United States, Wisconsin
Time period: 2016-01-01--2017-01-01
In 2005, 592 African Americans from Milwaukee were added to the MIDUS sample to examine health issues in minority populations (for more details, see Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 2): Milwaukee African American Sample [ICPSR #22840]). Respondents were interviewed in their homes using a Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) survey protocol and asked to complete and return a Self-Administered Questionnaire (SAQ). Afterwards these individuals were eligible for participation in the same research protocol as the national MIDUS 2 sample, including cognitive, daily stress, biomarker, and neuroscience projects.
With support from the National Institute on Aging, a second wave of survey data collection on the Milwaukee sample was begun in 2016. The survey consisted of a 2.5 hour CAPI interview followed by a 45-page mailed SAQ. CAPI survey data was collected for 389 individuals, realizing a 78 percent response rate, adjusted for mortality and other eligibility criteria. Data collection for this follow-up wave largely repeated baseline assessments, with additional questions in selected areas (e.g., economic recession experiences, childhood experience with race, etc.). Following successful completion of the CAPI and SAQ protocols, individuals were eligible for participation in cognitive, daily stress, biomarker, and neuroscience projects.

Midlife in the United States (MIDUS Refresher 1): Milwaukee African American Sample, 2012-2013 (ICPSR 36722)
Released/updated on: 2025-09-11
Geographic coverage: Milwaukee, United States, Wisconsin
Time period: 2012-01-01--2013-01-01
In 2012-2013, the MIDUS Milwaukee Refresher study recruited a sample of 508 Milwaukee African American adults, aged 25 to 64, designed to replenish the Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS 2): Milwaukee African American Sample, 2005-2006 (ICPSR 22840). This sample was also designed to increase the number of racial minorities included in the broader MIDUS study. The MIDUS Milwaukee Refresher survey employed the same assessments (demographic, psycho-social, and physical and mental health) as those assembled on the existing MIDUS sample, but with additional questions about the effect of the economic recession of 2008-09. A sample of African Americans from Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, was stratified by age, gender, and income.
Area probability sampling methods were used to identify potential respondents. Field interviewers screened households to determine if they contained any African American adults. There was additional screening to achieve an appropriate age/gender distribution in a manner similar to what was done for the original MIDUS sample (Midlife in the United States (MIDUS 1), 1995-1996 [ICPSR 2760]). Milwaukee respondents were interviewed in their homes using a 2.5-hour Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) protocol and afterwards asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire (SAQ). All measures paralleled those used in the larger MIDUS samples. In addition to successful completion of the survey, participants were asked to complete a cognitive assessment by phone. Some respondents were eligible to participate in additional MIDUS projects: daily diary assessments, biomarker assessments, and neuroscience assessments.

Project STRIDE: Stress, Identity, and Mental Health, New York City, 2004-2005 (ICPSR 35525)
Released/updated on: 2018-11-28
Geographic coverage: New York City
Time period: 2004-01-01--2005-01-01
Project STRIDE is a three-year research project that examines the effect of stress and minority identity related to sexual orientation, race/ethnicity and gender on mental health. The research describes social stressors that affect minority populations, explores the coping and social support resources that they utilize as they confront these social stressors, and assesses the associations of stress and coping with mental health outcomes including mental disorders and wellbeing. The study also explores the impact of various identity characteristics, such as whether an identity is viewed positively or negatively, or whether it is prominent or not to the relationship of stress and mental health outcomes.
The study, using extensive quantitative and some qualitative measures, is a longitudinal survey of 525 men and women between the ages 18 and 59 who are residents of New York City. Socio-demographic information collected about respondents included age, education, race and Hispanic ethnicity, adopting the measures developed and used by the United States Census Bureau in the United States population survey of 2000. In addition to these items, racial/ethnic identity was also assessed with the question "What is the country of origin related to your or your family's ethnic or national background, if any?" Respondents were allowed to select up to two nations from a comprehensive listing. For the purposes of the study, the instrument also assessed whether or not participants were natives of New York City or migrated as adults. Additional demographic variables include employment status, religion, relationship status, and sexual orientation.

California Work Pays Demonstration Project: County Welfare Administrative Data, 1992-1998, Public Use Version 4.1 (ICPSR 4207)
Released/updated on: 2006-05-12
Geographic coverage: United States, California
Time period: 1987-01-01--1998-01-01
The California Work Pays Demonstration Project (CWPDP) was intended to assess the effects of recent changes in Aid to Families With Dependent Children (AFDC) provisions. The project documents the dynamics of family poverty and welfare use in California. Part 1, Overview Data: Cases contains one record for each CWPDP case sampled between October 1992 and March 1997. For each case, seven data presence indicator variables identify the presence of data in each of the data file types. Four observation variables identify the number of case-months records observed in the Four County Cases file, the number of person records observed in the Four County Persons and Assistance History Persons files, and the first month during which AFDC participation is observed in the Assistance History Persons file. Fifteen survey detail variables identify survey participation, interview completion, respondent's person number and date of birth, and the survey record number. Parts 2-5, Four County Data: Cases, contain case-month records for all control and experimental cases selected to be a part of the study between October 1992 and March 1997 for any month (beginning with the month selected) during which an assistance unit received AFDC of food stamps. Each case-month record contains county administrative data for eligible family size and type, income, and cash and food stamp assistance amounts. These files are identical to the Four County Data: Cases files in County Welfare Administrative Data Version 4. Parts 6-9, Four County Data: Persons, contain records for each person observed associated with any control or experimental case selected to be part of the study between October 1992 and March 1997. Records include nonconfidential demographic information and monthly values for aid type and eligibility. These files are identical to the Four County Data: Persons files in County Welfare Administrative Data Version 4. Parts 10-13, Assistance History Data: Aggregate, contain case-month records that summarize information for the months of January 1987 through December 1996 about the public assistance program participation and eligibility of persons associated with sampled cases. This dataset was constructed from the Assistance History Data: Persons datasets (Parts 14-17) that contain persons associated with the study units. Parts 14-17, Assistance History Data: Persons, contain the Medi-Cal and program participation history of each person associated with the assistance units for cases selected between October 1992 and March 1997. This dataset does not include information about persons who left the assistance unit before the month sampled. Each record includes program participation information for each month from January 1987 through December 1996, a total of 120 months, as well as demographic information. Parts 18-21, Medi-Cal Payments Data: Cases, contain one record for each case selected to be part of the CWPDP sample between December 1992 and March 1997. This dataset contains the Medi-Cal payments made for each case in the study for the month of December 1992 and quarterly from 1993 through the fourth quarter of 1997. University of California Data Archive and Technical Assistance receives this data from California Department of Social Services-Research Branch (CDSS-RB) by quarter (not month), aggregated to case number. Therefore, the data in these files are aggregated payments information for all assistance units with the same case number, whether or not that assistance unit is part of the CWPDP sample. These files are identical to the Medi-Cal Payments Data: Cases files in County Welfare Administrative Data Version 3.

Intimate Partner Homicide in California, 1987-2000 (ICPSR 3501)
Released/updated on: 2003-06-19
Geographic coverage: United States, California
Time period: 1987-01-01--2000-01-01
Since 1976, the United States has witnessed a steady and precipitous decline in intimate partner homicides. This study builds on the work of Dugan et al. (1999, 2000) and Browne and Williams (1989) by examining, in greater detail, the relationship between intimate partner homicide and gender, race, criminal justice system response, and domestic violence services. Specifically, the study examines the net effect of criminal justice system response and federally-funded domestic violence shelters on victimization of white, African American, and Hispanic males and females. This study used aggregated data from the 58 counties in California from 1987 to 2000. Homicide data were gathered by the State of California Department of Justice, Criminal Justice Statistics Center. Data on domestic violence resources were obtained from the Governor's Office of Criminal Justice Planning, Domestic Violence Branch, in the form of detailed reports from domestic violence shelters in the state. Based on these records, the researchers computed the number of federally-funded shelter-based organizations in a given county over time. Data on criminal justice responses at the county level were gathered from the State of California Department of Justice, Criminal Justice Statistics Center. These data included domestic violence arrests and any convictions and incarceration that followed those arrests. The researchers disaggregated these criminal justice system measures by race and gender. In order to account for population differences and changes over time, rates were computed per 100,000 adults (age 18 and older).

Uniform Crime Reports: Monthly Weapon-Specific Crime and Arrest Time Series, 1975-1993 [National, State, and 12-City Data] (ICPSR 6792)
Released/updated on: 2005-11-04
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1975-01-01--1993-01-01
These data were prepared in conjunction with a project using Bureau of Labor Statistics data (not provided with this collection) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program data to examine the relationship between unemployment and violent crime. Three separate time-series data files were created as part of this project: a national time series (Part 1), a state time series (Part 2), and a time series of data for 12 selected cities: Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, New York City, Paterson (New Jersey), and Philadelphia (Part 3). Each data file was constructed to include 82 monthly time series: 26 series containing the number of Part I (crime index) offenses known to police (excluding arson) by weapon used, 26 series of the number of offenses cleared by arrest or other exceptional means by weapon used in the offense, 26 series of the number of offenses cleared by arrest or other exceptional means for persons under 18 years of age by weapon used in the offense, a population estimate series, and three date indicator series. For the national and state data, agencies from the 50 states and Washington, DC, were included in the aggregated data file if they reported at least one month of information during the year. In addition, agencies that did not report their own data (and thus had no monthly observations on crime or arrests) were included to make the aggregated population estimate as close to Census estimates as possible. For the city time series, law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction over the 12 central cities were identified and the monthly data were extracted from each UCR annual file for each of the 12 agencies. The national time-series file contains 82 time series, the state file contains 4,083 time series, and the city file contains 963 time series, each with 228 monthly observations per time series. The unit of analysis is the month of observation. Monthly crime and clearance totals are provided for homicide, negligent manslaughter, total rape, forcible rape, attempted forcible rape, total robbery, firearm robbery, knife/cutting instrument robbery, other dangerous weapon robbery, strong-arm robbery, total assault, firearm assault, knife/cutting instrument assault, other dangerous weapon assault, simple nonaggravated assault, assaults with hands/fists/feet, total burglary, burglary with forcible entry, unlawful entry-no force, attempted forcible entry, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, auto theft, truck and bus theft, other vehicle theft, and grand total of all actual offenses.

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.

Turnout in State Gubernatorial Primary Elections, 1950-1982 (ICPSR 8390)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
This collection consists of voting turnout statistics for every contested gubernatorial primary election in 47 states from 1950 through 1982. Information is also included for states holding elections for four-year gubernatorial terms during 1946 and 1948. Data are not available for Delaware, Indiana, and New York, since primaries had not been adopted yet in these states. Information is provided on the number of candidates in each primary, total vote for the winner, and total vote in the party primary. In addition to raw vote totals, several derived variables are also included. A "normal" Democratic and Republican vote statistic, based on the average number of votes cast for the party's candidates for governor, United States senator, and United States congressman, is calculated for each year in each state as a means of comparing the total party primary vote with its vote in the general election. Furthermore, the study includes an adjusted voting age estimate for 11 southern states. That estimate is a ratio of the total number of Blacks of voting age to the total number of Black registered voters and is designed to control for the impact of discrimination on voter turnout prior to 1970.

Age-by-Race Specific Crime Rates, 1965-1985: [United States] (ICPSR 9589)
Released/updated on: 2005-11-04
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1965-01-01--1985-01-01
These data examine the effects on total crime rates of changes in the demographic composition of the population and changes in criminality of specific age and race groups. The collection contains estimates from national data of annual age-by-race specific arrest rates and crime rates for murder, robbery, and burglary over the 21-year period 1965-1985. The data address the following questions: (1) Are the crime rates reported by the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) data series valid indicators of national crime trends? (2) How much of the change between 1965 and 1985 in total crime rates for murder, robbery, and burglary is attributable to changes in the age and race composition of the population, and how much is accounted for by changes in crime rates within age-by-race specific subgroups? (3) What are the effects of age and race on subgroup crime rates for murder, robbery, and burglary? (4) What is the effect of time period on subgroup crime rates for murder, robbery, and burglary? (5) What is the effect of birth cohort, particularly the effect of the very large (baby-boom) cohorts following World War II, on subgroup crime rates for murder, robbery, and burglary? (6) What is the effect of interactions among age, race, time period, and cohort on subgroup crime rates for murder, robbery, and burglary? (7) How do patterns of age-by-race specific crime rates for murder, robbery, and burglary compare for different demographic subgroups? The variables in this study fall into four categories. The first category includes variables that define the race-age cohort of the unit of observation. The values of these variables are directly available from UCR and include year of observation (from 1965-1985), age group, and race. The second category of variables were computed using UCR data pertaining to the first category of variables. These are period, birth cohort of age group in each year, and average cohort size for each single age within each single group. The third category includes variables that describe the annual age-by-race specific arrest rates for the different crime types. These variables were estimated for race, age, group, crime type, and year using data directly available from UCR and population estimates from Census publications. The fourth category includes variables similar to the third group. Data for estimating these variables were derived from available UCR data on the total number of offenses known to the police and total arrests in combination with the age-by-race specific arrest rates for the different crime types.
