The data is released by the Saint Paul Police Department every 2 to 3 weeks and includes the following categories: Homicide, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Theft, Auto Theft, Arson, Domestic Assaults, Vandalism, Narcotics, and Firearm Discharges.Statistics displayed do not reflect official crime index totals, and may change after full investigation.

The major objective of this study was to examine how physical characteristics of commercial centers and demographic characteristics of residential areas contribute to crime and how these characteristics affect reactions to crime in mixed commercial-residential settings. Information on physical characteristics includes type of business, store hours, arrangement of buildings, and defensive modifications in the area. Demographic variables cover racial composition, average household size and income, and percent change of occupancy. The crime data describe six types of crime: robbery, burglary, assault, rape, personal theft, and shoplifting.

The times are displayed correctly as Central time when viewing the data in the City’s open information portal. Upon downloading or exporting the data, any date/time columns are converted to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). This results in the times getting converted to of either 5 hours (during Daylight savings time) or 6 hours (for Standard time) ahead of our Central time.To correct this issue, determine if it is Standard time or Daylight Savings time. Central Daylight Time (CDT) runs from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. Central Standard Time (CST) is the remainder of the year. If it is CDT, subtract 5 hours from UTC time and if it is CST, then subtract 6 hours. This issue comes from the ESRI platform and is unable to be modified at this time.

This study is a secondary analysis of CRIME, FEAR, AND CONTROL IN NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL CENTERS: MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL, 1970-1982 (ICPSR 8167), which was designed to explore the relationship between small commercial centers and their surrounding neighborhoods. Some variables from the original study were recoded and new variables were created in order to examine the impact of community structure, crime, physical deterioration, and other signs of incivility on residents' and merchants' cognitive and emotional responses to disorder. This revised collection sought to measure separately the contextual and individual determinants of commitment to locale, informal social control, responses to crime, and fear of crime. Contextual determinants included housing, business, and neighborhood characteristics, as well as crime data on robbery, burglary, assault, rape, personal theft, and shoplifting and measures of pedestrian activity in the commercial centers. Individual variables were constructed from interviews with business leaders and surveys of residents to measure victimization, fear of crime, and attitudes toward businesses and neighborhoods. Part 1, Area Data, contains housing, neighborhood, and resident characteristics. Variables include the age and value of homes, types of businesses, amount of litter and graffiti, traffic patterns, demographics of residents such as race and marital status from the 1970 and 1980 Censuses, and crime data. Many of the variables are Z-scores. Part 2, Pedestrian Activity Data, describes pedestrians in the small commercial centers and their activities on the day of observation. Variables include primary activity, business establishment visited, and demographics such as age, sex, and race of the pedestrians. Part 3, Business Interview Data, includes employment, business, neighborhood, and attitudinal information. Variables include type of business, length of employment, number of employees, location, hours, operating costs, quality of neighborhood, transportation, crime, labor supply, views about police, experiences with victimization, fear of strangers, and security measures. Part 4, Resident Survey Data, includes measures of commitment to the neighborhood, fear of crime, attitudes toward local businesses, perceived neighborhood incivilities, and police contact. There are also demographic variables, such as sex, ethnicity, age, employment, education, and income.

This data collection was designed to test the "incivilities thesis": that incivilities such as extant neighborhood physical conditions of disrepair or abandonment and troubling street behaviors contribute to residents' concerns for personal safety and their desire to leave their neighborhood. The collection examines between-individual versus between-neighborhood and between-city differences with respect to fear of crime and neighborhood commitment and also explores whether some perceived incivilities are more relevant to these outcomes than others. The data represent a secondary analysis of five ICPSR collections: (1) CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH AND LOW CRIME NEIGHBORHOODS IN ATLANTA, 1980 (ICPSR 7951), (2) CRIME CHANGES IN BALTIMORE, 1970-1994 (ICPSR 2352), (3) CITIZEN PARTICIPATION AND COMMUNITY CRIME PREVENTION, 1979: CHICAGO METROPOLITAN AREA SURVEY (ICPSR 8086), (4) CRIME, FEAR, AND CONTROL IN NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL CENTERS: MINNEAPOLIS AND ST. PAUL, 1970-1982 (ICPSR 8167), and (5) TESTING THEORIES OF CRIMINALITY AND VICTIMIZATION IN SEATTLE, 1960-1990 (ICPSR 9741). Part 1, Survey Data, is an individual-level file that contains measures of residents' fear of victimization, avoidance of dangerous places, self-protection, neighborhood satisfaction, perceived incivilities (presence of litter, abandoned buildings, vandalism, and teens congregating), and demographic variables such as sex, age, and education. Part 2, Neighborhood Data, contains crime data and demographic variables from Part 1 aggregated to the neighborhood level, including percentage of the neighborhood that was African-American, gender percentages, average age and educational attainment of residents, average household size and length of residence, and information on home ownership.

For a comprehensive guide to this data and other UCR data, please see my book at ucrbook.comVersion 12 release notes:Adds 2022 dataVersion 11 release notes:Adds 2021 data.Version 10 release notes:Adds 2020 data. Please note that the FBI has retired UCR data ending in 2020 data so this will be the last arson data they release. Changes .rda file to .rds.Version 9 release notes:Changes release notes description, does not change data.Version 8 release notes:Adds 2019 data.Note that the number of months missing variable sharply changes starting in 2018. This is probably due to changes in UCR reporting of the column_2_type variable which is used to generate the months missing county (the code I used does not change). So pre-2018 and 2018+ years may not be comparable for this variable. Version 7 release notes:Adds a last_month_reported column which says which month was reported last. This is actually how the FBI defines number_of_months_reported so is a more accurate representation of that. Removes the number_of_months_reported variable as the name is misleading. You should use the last_month_reported or the number_of_months_missing (see below) variable instead.Adds a number_of_months_missing in the annual data which is the sum of the number of times that the agency reports "missing" data (i.e. did not report that month) that month in the card_2_type variable or reports NA in that variable. Please note that this variable is not perfect and sometimes an agency does not report data but this variable does not say it is missing. Therefore, this variable will not be perfectly accurate.Version 6 release notes:Adds 2018 dataVersion 5 release notes:Adds data in the following formats: SPSS and Excel.Changes project name to avoid confusing this data for the ones done by NACJD.Version 4 release notes: Adds 1979-2000, 2006, and 2017 dataAdds agencies that reported 0 months.Adds monthly data.All data now from FBI, not NACJD. Changes some column names so all columns are <=32 characters to be usable in Stata.Version 3 release notes: Add data for 2016.Order rows by year (descending) and ORI.Removed data from Chattahoochee Hills (ORI = "GA06059") from 2016 data. In 2016, that agency reported about 28 times as many vehicle arsons as their population (Total mobile arsons = 77762, population = 2754.Version 2 release notes: Fix bug where Philadelphia Police Department had incorrect FIPS county code. This Arson data set is an FBI data set that is part of the annual Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program data. This data contains information about arsons reported in the United States. The information is the number of arsons reported, to have actually occurred, to not have occurred ("unfounded"), cleared by arrest of at least one arsoning, cleared by arrest where all offenders are under the age of 18, and the cost of the arson. This is done for a number of different arson location categories such as community building, residence, vehicle, and industrial/manufacturing structure. The yearly data sets here combine data from the years 1979-2018 into a single file for each group of crimes. Each monthly file is only a single year as my laptop can't handle combining all the years together. These files are quite large and may take some time to load. I also added state, county, and place FIPS code from the LEAIC (crosswalk).A small number of agencies had some months with clearly incorrect data. I changed the incorrect columns to NA and left the other columns unchanged for that agency. The following are data problems that I fixed - there are still likely issues remaining in the data so make sure to check yourself before running analyses. Oneida, New York (ORI = NY03200) had multiple years that reported single arsons costing over $700 million. I deleted this agency from all years of data.In January 1989 Union, North Carolina (ORI = NC09000) reported 30,000 arsons in uninhabited single occupancy buildings and none any other months. In December 1991 Gadsden, Florida (ORI = FL02000) reported that a single arson at a community/public building caused $99,999,999 in damages (the maximum possible).In April 2017 St. Paul, Minnesota (ORI = MN06209) reported 73,400 arsons in uninhabited storage buildings and 10,000 arsons in uninhabited community/public buildings and one or fewer every other month.When an arson is determined to be unfound
