Yet is has become over much of the last century - and will likely remain among researchers for at least the next decade - the most important crime data in the United States. This is a very broad measure of crime, and its uses in research - or uses for understanding crime at all - is fairly limited. This data will tell you how many crimes were reported for a small number of crime categories or how many people (broken down by age, sex, and race) were arrested for a (larger) set of crime categories in that city (if the city has multiple police agencies then each agency will report crimes/arrests under their jurisdiction though the largest agency - usually the local police department - will cover the vast majority of crimes/arrests in that city) in a given month. It is actually a collection of different datasets, all of which have information about crimes and arrests that occur in a particular jurisdiction. UCR data is, with the exception of the more detailed data that only covers murders, a monthly number of crimes or arrests reported to a single police agency which is then gathered by the FBI into one file that includes all reporting agencies. If you’ve read an article about crime or arrests in the United States in the last half century, in most cases it was referring to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data, otherwise known as UCR data. 9.2.1 The bias motivation (who the hate is against).8.2.5 Cleared for arsons where all offenders are under age 18.7 Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA).5.2 What is an arrest?
