Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, United States, 2014

These data provide information on the number of arrests reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program each month by police agencies in the United States. Although not as well known as the "Crimes Known to the Police" data drawn from the Uniform Crime Report's Return A form, the arrest reports by age, sex, and race provide valuable data on 43 offenses including violent, drug, gambling, and larceny crimes. The data received by ICPSR were structured as a hierarchical file containing (per reporting police agency) an agency header record, and 1 to 12 monthly header reports, 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 a rectangular format.

本数据集收录美国各州警方机构每月报送至美国联邦调查局（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。尽管其知名度不及源自UCR的A表（Return A Form）的“警方已知犯罪”统计数据，但这份按年龄、性别与种族分类的逮捕报告仍提供了涵盖暴力犯罪、毒品犯罪、赌博犯罪及盗窃犯罪在内的43类犯罪的宝贵资料。校际政治与社会研究联合会（Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, ICPSR）所接收的原始数据采用层级文件结构：针对每个报送的警方机构，包含1条机构头部记录、1至12条月度头部报告，以及1至43条详细犯罪记录；每条详细犯罪记录涵盖某一特定犯罪按年龄、性别与种族划分的逮捕人数统计。ICPSR将原始数据重构为矩形格式。
