Federal Justice Statistics Program: Arrests and Bookings for Federal Offenses, 1998 [United States]

The data contain records of arrests and bookings for federal offenses in the United States during fiscal year 1998. The data were constructed from the United States Marshals Service (USMS) Prisoner Tracking System database. Records include arrests made by federal law enforcement agencies (including the USMS), state and local agencies, and self-surrenders. Offenders arrested for federal offenses are transferred to the custody of the USMS for processing, transportation, and detention. The Prisoner Tracking System contains data on all offenders within the custody of the USMS. The data file contains variables from the original USMS files as well as additional analysis variables, or "SAF" variables, that denote subsets of the data. These SAF variables are related to statistics reported in the Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics, Tables 1.1-1.3. Variables containing identifying information (e.g., name, Social Security Number) were replaced with blanks, and the day portions of date fields were also sanitized in order to protect the identities of individuals. These data are part of a series designed by the Urban Institute (Washington, DC) and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Data and documentation were prepared by the Urban Institute.

本数据集收录了美国1998财年范围内的联邦犯罪逮捕与拘留登记记录。
该数据集基于美国法警局（United States Marshals Service, USMS）的囚犯追踪系统（Prisoner Tracking System）数据库构建而成。
记录涵盖联邦执法机构（含美国法警局）、州及地方执法机构实施的逮捕行动，以及主动自首的案件。
因联邦犯罪被捕的犯罪者会被移交至美国法警局羁押，以开展后续流程、押解与关押工作。
囚犯追踪系统收录了所有处于美国法警局羁押状态下的犯罪者数据。
本数据文件既包含美国法警局原始文件中的变量，也包含额外的分析变量——即“SAF变量”，用于标识数据集的子集。此类SAF变量与《联邦司法统计概要》（Compendium of Federal Justice Statistics）中表1.1至1.3所披露的统计数据相关联。
包含个人识别信息（如姓名、社会安全号码）的变量已被清空，日期字段中的日期部分也已做脱敏处理，以保护相关人员的身份信息。
本数据集是城市研究所（Urban Institute，华盛顿特区）与美国司法统计局（Bureau of Justice Statistics）联合设计的系列数据之一。
数据集与配套文档均由城市研究所编制完成。
