Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race for Police Agencies in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1960-1997
These data provide information on the number of arrests
reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime
Reporting (UCR) Program each year by police agencies in metropolitan
statistical areas. Although not as well known as the "Crimes Known to
the Police" data drawn from the Uniform Crime Report's Return A form,
the arrest reports by age, sex, and race provide valuable data on 43
offenses. For this collection, the arrests reported by each agency
were summarized for each of the years 1960 through 1997, and the
original Uniform Crime Reports data were restructured to create two
separate files for each year, a header record and a detail
record. Header files can be linked to detail files by the originating
agency identifier (ORI). Other variables that are common to both types
of files are state, census group, year, division, and metropolitan
statistical agency (MSA). The header datasets also include the agency
name and the population covered. The detail files also contain the
offense code and the age, sex, and race of the arrestees.
