Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data [United States]: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race, 2008

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, 1 to 12 monthly header records, 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.

本数据集收录了美国各警察机构每年上报至联邦调查局（Federal Bureau of Investigation）统一犯罪报告（Uniform Crime Reporting, UCR）计划的逮捕人数相关信息。此类逮捕报告涵盖43类犯罪的统计数据，包括暴力犯罪、毒品犯罪、赌博以及盗窃（larceny）。政治与社会研究大学联合会（Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, ICPSR）获取的原始数据采用层级文件结构：针对每个上报的警察机构，数据包含1条机构头记录、1至12条月度头记录，以及1至43条针对特定犯罪的细节犯罪记录，后者包含该特定犯罪按年龄、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数据格式。
