Uniform crime reporting program data

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic nationwide assessments of reported crime not available elsewhere in the criminal justice system. By 1984, there were approximately 17,000 law enforcement agencies contributing reports either directly or through their state reporting program. Each year, this information is reported in four types of files: (1) Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, (2) Property Stolen and Recovered, (3) The Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and (4) Police Employee (LEOKA) data. All four types are available for 1979-1983. The Supplementary Homicide Report Data are available for 1978 and 1984. 1)Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest data files include monthly data on the number of Crime Index offenses reported, the number of offenses cleared by arrest or other means, and the number of adults and juveniles arrested by each reporting law enforcement agency. The counts include all reports of Index Crimes, excluding arson, received from victims, officers who discovered infractions, or other sources. 2)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.
