Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, Summarized Yearly, United States, 2012

These data provide information on the number of arrests reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program each year by police agencies in the United States. These arrest reports provide data on 43 offenses including violent crime, drug use, gambling, and larceny. The data received by ICPSR were structured as a hierarchical file containing, per reporting police agency: an agency header record, and 1 to 43 detail offense records containing the counts of arrests by age, sex, and race for a particular offense. ICPSR restructured the original data to logical record length format with the agency header record variables copied onto the detail records. Consequently, each record contains arrest counts for a particular agency-offense.

本数据集收录了美国各警务机构每年报送至联邦调查局（Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI）统一犯罪报告（Uniform Crime Reporting, UCR）项目的逮捕人数统计信息。此类逮捕报告涵盖43类犯罪的相关数据，包括暴力犯罪、涉毒违法、赌博及盗窃等罪名。政治与社会研究大学间联合会（Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, ICPSR）获取的原始数据采用分层文件结构，针对每个报送的警务机构，文件包含1条机构头部记录，以及1至43条犯罪详情记录；每条犯罪详情记录统计了特定罪名下按年龄、性别与种族划分的逮捕人数。该联合会对原始数据进行了重构，将其转换为逻辑记录长度格式，并将机构头部记录的所有变量复制至犯罪详情记录中。因此，每条记录均对应某一警务机构的某一特定罪名的逮捕人数统计结果。
