Developments in the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)
"This document contains a synopsis of each of the NIBRS publications, all of which are maintained in their entirety on the FBI's UCR Web page with the exception of the 'Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook', NIBRS Edition (1992) and 'Volume 3: Approaches to Implementing an Incident-Based Reporting (IBR) System'. This document also contains excerpts from 'UCR State Program Bulletins' that provide a historical perspective of the evolution of NIBRS including procedural changes, reporting clarifications, and policy additions that have occurred from 1999 to September 2004. As NIBRS continues to evolve, the FBI's UCR Program keeps agencies up to date through periodically disseminating UCR State Program Bulletins. To help all vendors keep abreast of the most current information concerning NIBRS, the national UCR Program has extracted pertinent information from UCR State Program Bulletins and is providing it in this document, which will be updated as needed."

Measurement of White-Collar Crime Using Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Data
This document outlines how the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program measures the severity of various types of white-collar crime. "Although it is acceptable to use socioeconomic characteristics of the offender to define white-collar crime, it is impossible to measure white-collar crime with Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) data if the working definition revolves around the type of offender. There are no socioeconomic or occupational indicators of the offender in the data. Additionally, there are no measures of corporate structure in UCR data elements. Given that, research using UCR data must approach white-collar crime in terms of type of offense."

NIBRS Addendum for Submitting LEOKA Data
"This addendum provides new and modified National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) data values, entry requirements, error messages, and programming changes to collect Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data in the context of the current NIBRS manuals. New and revised information in the affected excerpts are shown in bold. These changes will be incorporated into future NIBRS publication revisions. In response to the need for an improved collection method of LEOKA data via the NIBS, the national Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program recently adopted a new record layout containing three new data elements and a series of new data codes. As of January 1, 2003, the FBI will begin accepting data captured by these new data elements and codes for entry into the 2003 NIBRS Master File for subsequent data analyses and publication. Though this collection eliminates the use of Form 1-705, Law Enforcement Officers Killed or Assaulted, it does not replace the need to submit the Form 1-701, Analysis of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted. The national Program encourages all NIBRS agencies to report LEOKA data in the new NIBRS format."

Synopsis of Crime in Schools and Colleges: A Study of National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Data
"The multitude of research examining crime in the Nation's schools has yielded conflicting conclusions concerning the actual level of violence and non-violence in these institutions, making it difficult to ascertain the effectiveness of preventative policies and their impact. According to one research study sponsored by the National Institute of Justice, "the most significant problems in schools are not necessarily issues popularly considered to be important. Although gangs and drugs may receive the most media attention, most of the conflicts discussed during the project were related to everyday school interactions." The objective of the FBI's study is to examine the characteristics of the offenders and arrestees involved in crimes at school and college locations (hereafter referred to as schools) based on the data reported to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program by state and local law enforcement agencies that submitted their data via the NIBRS for 2000-2004. The NIBRS data collection contains data for 22 crime categories and 56 data elements, or variables, which include the types of offenses in the incident; reported age, sex, and race of victims, offenders, and arrestees; weapons used; and other information, e.g., location. Currently, approximately 20 percent of the Nation's law enforcement agencies voluntarily report crime data to the FBI in the NIBRS datarich format. For the 5-year study period, 2000-2004, there were a total of 17,065,074 incidents reported via the NIBRS. Of these incidents, 558,219, or 3.3 percent, occurred at schools. Based on the data received for the incidents at schools, there were 589,534 offenses committed by 688,612 offenders; 181,468 persons were arrested in connection with the incidents."

Crime in Schools and Colleges: A Study of Offenders and Arrestees Reported via National Incident-Based Reporting System Data
"In an attempt to shed light on crime in schools, colleges, and universities, this study used incident-based crime data the FBI received from a limited set of law enforcement agencies through the UCR [Uniform Crime Reporting] Program. Some of the findings are perhaps contrary to popular perceptions; for example, over the 5-year study period, the use of knives/cutting instruments was over three times more prevalent than the use of a gun. Other findings reflect conventional wisdom; for example, males were nearly 3.6 times more likely to be arrested for crime in schools and colleges than females."

Hate Crime Statistics 2009
This entry provides an interactive resource for practitioners regarding hate crime statistics for 2009 in the United States. "The FBI's [Federal Bureau of Investigation] UCR [Uniform Crime Reporting] Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of nearly 18,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. Since 1930, the FBI has administered the UCR Program and continued to assess and monitor the nature and type of crime in the Nation. The program's primary objective is to generate reliable information for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management; however, its data have over the years become one of the country's leading social indicators. Criminologists, sociologists, legislators, municipal planners, the media, and other students of criminal justice use the data for varied research and planning purposes. In 2009, law enforcement agencies active in the UCR Program represented more than 295 million United States inhabitants-96.3 percent of the total population. The coverage amounted to 97.1 percent of the population in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 90.9 percent of the population in cities outside metropolitan areas, and 93.0 percent of the population in nonmetropolitan counties."

National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS): 2000 Operations Report
"In its 25 months of operation, the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) has proven to be successful and highly effective. The NICS has processed over 18 million transactions to date and has maintained a 71 percent immediate proceed rate. The NICS is a testimonial to the necessary and unique partnership among the various programs within the Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The NICS relies heavily upon the management and operation of other CJIS-held databases, including the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and the Interstate Identification Index (III). Each background check requires automated searches of over 38 million criminal history records, over 500,000 wanted persons records, over 400,000 records of protective/restraining orders, as well as an additional one million records of other prohibited persons in the NICS Index -- all maintained within the CJIS Division. [...] Since the establishment of the NICS, millions of U.S. citizens have engaged in timely and lawful firearms transfers, while at the same time over 156,000 felons, fugitives, and other prohibited persons have been denied firearms transfers by the FBI NICS. Approximately the same number of gun transfers were denied by the POC states, so that the total number of denials since the NICS began operations exceeds 300,000." This report provides highlights of NICS accomplishments in 2000.

Hate Crime Statistics 2012
"According to statistics released today by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 5,796 criminal incidents involving 6,718 offenses were reported in 2012 as being motivated by a bias toward a particular race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin, or physical or mental disability. The statistics, published by the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program in 'Hate Crime Statistics, 2012,' provide data about the offenses, victims, offenders, and locations of the bias-motivated incidents reported by law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. Due to the unique nature of hate crime, however, the UCR Program does not estimate offenses for the jurisdictions of agencies that do not submit reports."

Law Enforcement Records Management Systems (RMSs) as They Pertain to FBI Programs and Systems
This document replaces the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI's) 'Manual of Law Enforcement Records,' 1984. From the introduction: "More than ever, the FBI is committed to helping law enforcement meet its ongoing need for immediate, accurate, and reliable information. One small way to achieve that goal is to provide in one document the information that agencies need to know about records management systems (RMSs) as they pertain to the programs and services that the FBI provides. This manual [...] provides that guidance." The publication addresses the following record-keeping entities: (1) Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS); (2) National Crime Information Center (NCIC); (3) The Law Enforcement National Data Exchange (N-DEx); (4) National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), and the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.

Hate Crime Statistics 2010
This entry provides an interactive resource for practitioners regarding hate crime statistics for 2010 in the United States. "The Hate Crime Statistics Program of the FBI [Federal Bureau of Investigation]'s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program collects data regarding criminal offenses that are motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against a race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity/national origin, or disability and are committed against persons, property, or society. (Forthcoming system changes will also allow the future collection of data for crimes motivated by gender and gender identity as well as data about crimes committed by, and crimes directed against, juveniles.) Because motivation is subjective, it is sometimes difficult to know with certainty whether a crime resulted from the offender's bias. Moreover, the presence of bias alone does not necessarily mean that a crime can be considered a hate crime. Only when law enforcement investigation reveals sufficient evidence to lead a reasonable and prudent person to conclude that the offender's actions were motivated, in whole or in part, by his or her bias, should an incident be reported as a hate crime."
