Arrests As Communications to Criminals in St. Louis, 1970, 1972-1982
This data collection was designed to assess the deterrent
effects over time of police sanctioning activity, specifically that of
arrests. Arrest and crime report data were collected from the
St. Louis Police Department and divided into two categories: all
Uniform Crime Reporting Program Part I crime reports, including
arrests, and Part I felony arrests. The police department also
generated geographical "x" and "y" coordinates corresponding to
the longitude and latitude where each crime and arrest took
place. Part 1 of this collection contains data on all reports made to
police regarding Part I felony crimes from 1970 to 1982 (excluding
1971). Parts 2-13 contain the yearly data that were concatenated into
one file for Part 1. Variables in Parts 2-13 include offense code,
census tract, police district, police area, city block, date of crime,
time crime occurred, value of property taken, and "x" and "y"
coordinates of crime and arrest locations. Part 14 contains data on
all Part I felony arrests. Included is information on offense charged,
the marital status, sex, and race of the person arrested, census tract
of arrest, and "x" and "y" coordinates.
