Uniform Crime Reports [United States]: Homicide Victimization and Offending Rates, 1976-1999
Drawing on information from several sources, this dataset
provides cross-sectional time-series data on homicide victimization
and offending counts and rates for the United States and each of the
50 states for the years 1976-1999, disaggregated by age, sex, and
race. Specifically, data from the FBI's Supplementary Homicide Reports
(SHR) were used to assemble victim and offender counts for various
demographic groups, and U.S. Bureau of the Census estimates for
population by age, race, and sex were employed to transform these
counts into rates per 100,000. In addition, because the SHR program
fails to provide a complete count of homicides, national and state
estimates, published in the FBI's annual publication CRIME IN THE
UNITES STATES, were used to benchmark and adjust SHR homicide
counts. To ensure consistency between these rates and those published
by the FBI, population data were also adjusted to match the population
totals used in the FBI's publication.
