Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Property Stolen and Recovered, 2005

Since 1930, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has
compiled the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR) to serve as periodic
nationwide assessments of reported crimes not available elsewhere in
the criminal justice system. Law enforcement agencies contribute
reports either directly or through their state reporting programs.
Each year, this information is reported in four types of files: (1)
Offenses Known and Clearances by Arrest, (2) Property Stolen and
Recovered, (3) Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), and (4) Police
Employee (LEOKA) Data. The Property Stolen and Recovered data are
collected on a monthly basis by all UCR contributing agencies. These
data, aggregated at the agency level, report on the nature of the
crime, the monetary value of the property stolen, and the type of
property stolen. Similar information regarding recovered property is
also included in the data.
