Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, United States, 2015

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.

本数据集提供美国各警方机构每月报送至美国联邦调查局（Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI）统一犯罪报告计划（Uniform Crime Reporting, UCR）的逮捕人数相关信息。尽管其知名度不及源自统一犯罪报告A类报表的"警方已知犯罪"数据，但按年龄、性别与种族分类的逮捕报告数据，涵盖暴力犯罪、毒品犯罪、赌博犯罪及盗窃犯罪等43类犯罪，可为相关研究提供极具价值的统计资料。政治和社会研究协作组织（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：每一份数据对应一个报案警方机构，包含1条机构表头记录、1至12份月度表头报告，以及1至43条犯罪详情记录，每条详情记录均记录了某一特定犯罪按年龄、性别与种族分类的逮捕人数统计。ICPSR将原始数据重构为矩形数据格式。
