Index Crimes by County and Agency: Beginning 1990

The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) collects crime reports from more than 500 New York State police and sheriffs' departments. DCJS compiles these reports as New York's official crime statistics and submits them to the FBI under the National Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. UCR uses standard offense definitions to count crime in localities across America regardless of variations in crime laws from state to state. In New York State, law enforcement agencies use the UCR system to report their monthly crime totals to DCJS. The UCR reporting system collects information on seven crimes classified as Index offenses which are most commonly used to gauge overall crime volume. These include the violent crimes of murder/non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; and the property crimes of burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Police agencies may experience reporting problems that preclude accurate or complete reporting. The counts represent only crimes reported to the police but not total crimes that occurred. DCJS posts preliminary data in the spring and final data in the fall.

纽约州刑事司法服务部（DCJS）收集来自超过500个纽约州警察局和治安官部门的犯罪报告。DCJS将这些报告汇编成纽约州的官方犯罪统计数据，并在国家统一犯罪报告（UCR）计划下提交给联邦调查局。UCR采用标准犯罪定义来统计美国各地犯罪情况，不受各州间犯罪法律差异的影响。在纽约州，执法机构使用UCR系统向DCJS报告其每月的犯罪总数。UCR报告系统收集了七种被归类为指数犯罪的犯罪信息，这些犯罪是最常用的衡量整体犯罪量的指标。这些犯罪包括谋杀/非疏忽大意过失杀人、强奸、抢劫和加重袭击等暴力犯罪，以及盗窃、盗窃和机动车辆盗窃等财产犯罪。警察机构可能会遇到报告问题，这些问题阻碍了准确或完整的报告。所计数仅代表报告给警察的犯罪，但不包括实际发生的总犯罪数。DCJS在春季发布初步数据，在秋季发布最终数据。
