To fill this research gap, this project created a data series on homicides per capita for New York City that spans two centuries. The goal was to create a site-specific, individual-based data series that could be used to examine major social shifts related to homicide, such as mass immigration, urban growth, war, demographic changes, and changes in laws. Data were also gathered on various other sites, particularly in England, to allow for comparisons on important issues, such as the post-World War II wave of violence. The basic approach to the data collection was to obtain the best possible estimate of annual counts and the most complete information on individual homicides. The annual count data (Parts 1 and 3) were derived from multiple sources, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reports and Supplementary Homicide Reports, as well as other official counts from the New York City Police Department and the City Inspector in the early 19th century. The data include a combined count of murder and manslaughter because charge bargaining often blurs this legal distinction. The individual-level data (Part 2) were drawn from coroners' indictments held by the New York City Municipal Archives, and from daily newspapers. Duplication was avoided by keeping a record for each victim. The estimation technique known as "capture-recapture" was used to estimate homicides not listed in either source. Part 1 variables include counts of New York City homicides, arrests, and convictions, as well as the homicide rate, race or ethnicity and gender of victims, type of weapon used, and source of data. Part 2 includes the date of the murder, the age, sex, and race of the offender and victim, and whether the case led to an arrest, trial, conviction, execution, or pardon. Part 3 contains annual homicide counts and rates for various comparison sites including Liverpool, London, Kent, Canada, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco.

Historical crime data [Dataset]. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/historical-crime-dataDataset updatedApr 21, 2016AuthorsHome OfficeDescriptionImportant information: detailed data on crimes recorded by the police from April 2002 onwards are published in the police recorded crime open data tables. As such, from July 2016 data on crimes recorded by the police from April 2002 onwards are no longer published on this webpage. This is because the data is available in the police recorded crime open data tables which provide a more detailed breakdown of crime figures by police force area, offence code and financial year quarter. Data for Community Safety Partnerships are also available.
The open data tables are updated every three months to incorporate any changes such as reclassifications or crimes being cancelled or transferred to another police force, which means that they are more up-to-date than the tables published on this webpage which are updated once per year. Additionally, the open data tables are in a format designed to be user-friendly and enable analysis.

However, we think most users still mainly use the annual data. As part of our resource planning for future years we are considering the frequency and breadth of published data. We would welcome any feedback from users on how they use outcomes data, particularly on the frequency and range of the data used. Please contact us at CrimeandPoliceStats@homeoffice.gov.uk by 31 March 2017.
The police outcomes of offences recorded in the year to September 2016 and the total number of recorded outcomes. Data are shown by outcome type and offence type.
These data tables present statistics for police recorded crime outcomes in England and Wales.
For the year to September 2016 these data tables show:
- what outcomes police forces assigned to offences recorded in the year, including the proportion not yet assigned an outcome
- all crime outcomes that were assigned by police forces during the year, some of which relate to crimes recorded in previous years
- crimes recorded in the year that were later transferred to another police force or ‘cancelled’, and why
For further information and commentary on crime outcomes statistics please see ‘Crime outcomes in England and Wales, year ending March 2016’.
Detailed police recorded crime and outcomes data and longer term datasets are available in the police recorded crime and outcomes open data tables.
