In the late 1970s, the law\r\nenforcement community called for a thorough evaluative study of the\r\nUCR with the objective of recommending an expanded and enhanced UCR\r\nprogram to meet law enforcement needs into the 21st century. The FBI\r\nprovided its support, formulating a comprehensive redesign\r\neffort. Following a multiyear study and in consultation with local and\r\nstate law enforcement executives, new guidelines for the Uniform Crime\r\nReports were created. The National Incident-Based Reporting System\r\n(NIBRS) is being implemented to meet these guidelines. NIBRS data are\r\narchived at ICPSR as 13 separate data files, which may be merged by\r\nusing linkage variables. The data focus on a variety of aspects of a\r\ncrime incident. The Batch Header Segment (Parts 1-3) separates and\r\nidentifies individual police agencies by Originating Agency Identifier\r\n(ORI). Batch Header information, which is contained on three records\r\nfor each ORI, includes agency name, geographic location, and\r\npopulation of the area. Part 4, Administrative Segment, offers data on\r\nthe incident itself (date and time). Each crime incident is delineated\r\nby one administrative segment record. Also provided are Part 5,\r\nOffense Segment (offense type, location, weapon use, and bias\r\nmotivation), Part 6, Property Segment (type of property loss, property\r\ndescription, property value, drug type and quantity), Part 7, Victim\r\nSegment (age, sex, race, ethnicity, and injuries), Part 8, Offender\r\nSegment (age, sex, and race), and Part 9, Arrestee Segment (arrest\r\ndate, age, sex, race, and weapon use). Part 10, Group B Arrest Report\r\nSegment, includes arrestee data for Group B crimes. Window Segments\r\nfiles (Parts 11-13) pertain to incidents for which the complete Group\r\nA Incident Report was not submitted to the FBI. In general, a Window\r\nSegment record will be generated if the incident occurred prior to\r\nJanuary 1 of the previous year or if the incident occurred prior to\r\nwhen the agency started NIBRS reporting. As with UCR, participation in\r\nNIBRS is voluntary on the part of law enforcement agencies. The data\r\nare not a representative sample of crime in the United States. For\r\n1996, nine states were fully or partially participating in NIBRS.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR02465.v3", "title": "National Incident-Based Reporting System, 1996"}], "identifier": "2641", "isPartOf": "2433", "issued": "2000-10-05T00:00:00", "keyword": ["Uniform Crime Reports", "arrests", "crime", "crime rates", "crime reporting", "law enforcement agencies", "national crime statistics (USA)", "offenders", "offenses", "property crime", "victims", "violent crime"], "language": ["eng"], "license": "http://www.usa.gov/publicdomain/label/1.0/", "modified": "2009-07-16T11:56:24", "programCode": ["011:061"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Bureau of Justice Statistics", "subOrganizationOf": {"acronym": "OJP", "id": 22, "name": "Office of Justice Programs", "parentOrganization": {"acronym": "DOJ", "id": 10, "name": "Department of Justice"}, "parentOrganizationID": 10}}, "title": "National Incident-Based Reporting System, 1996"}
