    Description

    The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program has been the starting place for law enforcement executives, students of criminal justice, researchers, members of the media, and the public at large seeking information on crime in the nation. Part I categorizes incidents in two categories: violent and property crimes. Aggravated assault, forcible rape, murder, and robbery are classified as violent crime, while burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft are classified as property crimes. This dataset contains FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Part I crime data for the last 40 years in Greensboro, North Carolina.The Greensboro Police Department is comprised of 787 sworn and non-sworn employees dedicated to the mission of partnering to fight crime for a safer Greensboro.

    Description

    This dataset contains Crime and Safety data from the Cary Police Department.

    This data is extracted by the Town of Cary's Police Department's RMS application. The police incidents will provide data on the Part I crimes of arson, motor vehicle thefts, larcenies, burglaries, aggravated assaults, robberies and homicides. Sexual assaults and crimes involving juveniles will not appear to help protect the identities of victims.

    This dataset includes criminal offenses in the Town of Cary for the previous 10 calendar years plus the current year. The data is based on the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) which includes all victims of person crimes and all crimes within an incident. The data is dynamic, which allows for additions, deletions and/or modifications at any time, resulting in more accurate information in the database. Due to continuous data entry, the number of records in subsequent extractions are subject to change. Crime data is updated daily however, incidents may be up to three days old before they first appear.

    About Crime Data

    The Cary Police Department strives to make crime data as accurate as possible, but there is no avoiding the introduction of errors into this process, which relies on data furnished by many people and that cannot always be verified. Data on this site are updated daily, adding new incidents and updating existing data with information gathered through the investigative process.

    This dynamic nature of crime data means that content provided here today will probably differ from content provided a week from now. Additional, content provided on this site may differ somewhat from crime statistics published elsewhere by other media outlets, even though they draw from the same database.

    Withheld Data

    In accordance with legal restrictions against identifying sexual assault and child abuse victims and juvenile perpetrators, victims, and witnesses of certain crimes, this site includes the following precautionary measures: (a) Addresses of sexual assaults are not included. (b) Child abuse cases, and other crimes which by their nature involve juveniles, or which the reports indicate involve juveniles as victims, suspects, or witnesses, are not reported at all.

    Certain crimes that are under current investigation may be omitted from the results in avoid comprising the investigative process.

    Incidents five days old or newer may not be included until the internal audit process has been completed.

    This data is updated daily.

    For official crime statistics, please visit CMPD's Crime Statistics page at:https://charlottenc.gov/CMPD/Safety/Pages/CrimeStats.aspx . Includes all CMPD incident report types, both criminal and non-criminal. Many reports are taken only to fully document a non-criminal circumstance like a missing person, lost/missing property, etc. Other reports are only taken to document the recovery of vehicles stolen in other jurisdictions. Each incident is classified based on FBI NIBRS standards by applying a national crime hierarchy to choose the highest offense assigned to each report. More information about NIBRS standards can be found on the FBI website. Cases where Highest NIBRS Code / Highest NIBRS Description is non-criminal offense (codes in the 800 series) should not be included in analysis of total “criminal” incident reports. In addition, data includes incidents with any clearance status, including unfounded cases. A clearance status of “Unfounded” means the report has been investigated and determined either to be a false report or to involve circumstances that do not actually constitute a crime.

    Description

    Recognizing that violence can be an intractable problem in many communities and that there are numerous approaches to both an immediate violence problem and the range of root causes behind violence, the National Institute of Justice funded an investigation into what factors underlie violence and efforts being implemented to address those factors and potentially reduce violence at the community level. In this mixed methods study, the RAND Corporation drew on data from key informant interviews, community surveys, administrative data, and geographic data to examine specific factors that contribute to violence, as well as a range of anti-violence efforts that have been used to address violence levels in two U.S. communities: the Bullseye area of Durham, North Carolina, and the Northside (North Minneapolis) neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Specifically, the research project aimed to answer the following questions: What are community level factors that can contribute to persistent violence? What are the key factors in both cities that distinguish high violent crime areas compared to low violent crime areas? This collection contains final analytic datasets for Durham (DS1) and Minneapolis (DS2), violent crime rate data (DS3), community survey data for Durham (DS4) and Minneapolis (DS5), and multiple datasets containing community-level contextual factors from the American Community Survey (ACS) and geographical data from the U.S. Census Bureau (2009-2018) that were used to build the final analytic datasets (DS6-DS11). Qualitative data from key informant interviews and GIS data are not available for download at this time. Access to Durham and Minneapolis community survey data is restricted.

    This data represents incident reports written to capture incidents of crime that are reported to law enforcement, based on the FBI’s UCR Program Data Collections for the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). It is similar to the DPD Incidents (UCR NIBRS Reporting) dataset found on this site, except it is limited to only shooting events where a firearm was criminally discharged (not accidental or self-inflicted). In addition, only the first [hierarchical] offense is listed, which may not have been the offense linked to the shooting activity in some instances. Historical data is available back to 10/1/2018. Available fields include:Case Number – Unique numerical identifier of the incident, which can be joined to the calls for service and arrests datasets.Report Date – The date when the crime occurred, or when it was reported to police, if the date of occurrence is not known.Report Time – The time when the crime occurred, or when it was reported to police, if the time of occurrence is not known.Status – The status of the case at the time the dataset was last updated.Sequence – This will always be ‘1’ as the SRS hierarchical method is being used for this dataset.ATT/COM – Designation of whether the crime was attempted or committed.UCR Code – The FBI’s alphanumeric identifier for the type of crime being reported.Address – The block number and street or intersection of the incident.X – Mapping coordinate of the incident, projected as NC State Plane (feet).Y – Mapping coordinate of the incident, projected as NC State Plane (feet).District – The patrol district where the incident occurred.Beat – The patrol beat where the incident occurred, which is a sub-division of the district.Tract – The census tract where the incident occurred, based on 2010 census data.Premise – The type of location where the incident took place.Weapon – The primary weapon used in violent crimes.This dataset is updated annually. However, other resources for incident data are available and updated nightly, including the DPD Crime dataset on the City and County of Durham Open Data Portal and Community Crime Map web site by LexisNexis. Tools for interacting with census data can be found on TIGERweb.

    In anticipation of the FBI transitioning to NIBRS by January 2021, the Raleigh Police Department was one of the first agencies in North Carolina to convert from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program Summary Reporting System (SRS) to the UCR - National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) in June 2014.NIBRS now collects each offense, victim, offender, property, and arrestee information on 52 unique offenses and up to 10 offenses per incident. These new categories can be more defined and increasingly vary at the local level. As a result, these differences can make it difficult to compare statistics.For more information about NIBRS, go to FBI website: https://ucr.fbi.gov/nibrs-overviewUpdate Frequency: DailyTime Period: Previous Day

New Caledonia NC: Intentional Homicides: per 100,000 People data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s New Caledonia – Table NC.World Bank: Health Statistics. Intentional homicides are estimates of unlawful homicides purposely inflicted as a result of domestic disputes, interpersonal violence, violent conflicts over land resources, intergang violence over turf or control, and predatory violence and killing by armed groups. Intentional homicide does not include all intentional killing; the difference is usually in the organization of the killing. Individuals or small groups usually commit homicide, whereas killing in armed conflict is usually committed by fairly cohesive groups of up to several hundred members and is thus usually excluded.; ; UN Office on Drugs and Crime's International Homicide Statistics database.; Weighted average;

    APD Public Incident DataThis dataset represents the Asheville Police Department (APD) data from the Record Management System (RMS). The dataset includes incidents beginning January 1, 2005 to current-date. Though APD strives to collect and disseminate police report information in a timely and accurate manner, limited quality checking has been completed from 2012 to current-date. Prior to 2012, APD has not quality checked the data. Moreover, it is not the best practice to use stale datasets; thus, APD recommends going back only 5-years for accurate analysis and trends. To go beyond 5-years is to invite erroneous interpretations of the data as the context behind the data has, perhaps, significantly changed. Crime classifications are based upon the North Carolina Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which is part of a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Crime classification do not necessarily coincide with the criminal charges defined by the North Carolina General Statutes. Information reported to APD may be changed at a later date based upon additional investigations. Therefore, APD does not guarantee (either expressed or implied) the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or correct sequencing of the information contained herein and the information should not be used for comparison purposes over time. APD is not responsible for any error or omission, or of the use of, or the results obtained from the use of this information.This online site is an attempt to make it easier for citizens to access offense information. In disseminating this crime information, we must also comply with current laws that regulate the release of potentially sensitive and confidential information.

    Description

    Effective October 1, 1994, the state of North Carolina implemented a new structured sentencing law that applied to all felony and misdemeanor crimes (except for driving while impaired) committed on or after October 1, 1994. Under the new structured sentencing law parole was eliminated, and a sentencing commission developed recommended ranges of punishment for offense and offender categories, set priorities for the use of correctional resources, and developed a model to estimate correctional populations. This study sought to investigate sentencing reforms by looking at the effects of structured sentencing on multiple aspects of the adjudication process in North Carolina. A further objective was to determine whether there were differences in the commission of institutional infractions between inmates sentenced to North Carolina prisons under the pre-structured versus structured sentencing laws. Researchers hoped that the results of this study may help North Carolina and jurisdictions around the country (1) anticipate the likely effects of structured sentencing laws, (2) design new laws that might better achieve the jurisdictions' goals, and (3) improve the potential of sentencing legislation in order to enhance public safety in an effective and equitable way. Administrative records data were collected from two sources. First, in order to examine the effects of structured sentencing on the adjudication process in North Carolina, criminal case data were obtained from the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (Parts 1 and 2). The pre-structured sentencing and structured sentencing samples were selected at the case level, and each record in Parts 1 and 2 represents a charged offense processed in either the North Carolina Superior or District Court. Second, inmate records data were collected from administrative records provided by the North Carolina Department of Correction (Part 3). These data were used to compare the involvement in infractions of inmates sentenced under both pre-structured and structured sentencing. The data for Part 3 focused on inmates entering the prison system between June 1, 1995, and January 31, 1998. Variables for Parts 1 and 2 include type of charge, charged offense date, method of disposition (e.g., dismissal, withdrawal, jury trial), defendant's plea, verdict for the offense, and whether the offense was processed through the North Carolina Superior or District Court. Structured sentencing offense class and modified Uniform Crime Reporting code for both charged and convicted offenses are presented for Parts 1 and 2. There are also county, prosecutorial district, and defendant episode identifiers in both parts. Variables related to defendant episodes include types of offenses within episode, total number of charges and convictions, whether all charges were dismissed, whether any felony charge resulted in a jury trial, and the adjudication time for all charges. Demographic variables for Parts 1 and 2 include the defendant's age, race, and gender. Part 3 variables include the date of prison admission, sentence type, number of prior incarcerations, number of years served during prior incarcerations, maximum sentence length for current incarceration, jail credit in years, count of all infractions during current and prior incarcerations, reason for incarceration, infraction rate, the risk for alcohol and drug dependency based on alcohol and chemical dependency screening scores, and the number of assault, drug/alcohol, profanity/disobedience, work absence, and money/property infractions during an inmate's current incarceration. Demographic variables for Part 3 include race, gender, and age at the time of each inmate's prison admission.

    Description

    The purpose of this study was to perform an initial evaluation of key aspects of the Winston-Salem Strategic Approaches to Community Safety Initiative (SACSI). The research team administered a SACSI Process Questionnaire to the SACSI Core Team and Working Group during the fall of 2000. Part 1, SACSI Core Team/Working Group Questionnaire Data, provides survey responses from 28 members of the Working Group and/or Core Team who completed the questionnaires. Variables in Part 1 were divided into four sections: (1) perceived functioning of the Core Team/Working Group, (2) personal experience of the group/team member, (3) perceived effectiveness or ineffectiveness of various elements of the SACSI program, and (4) reactions to suggestions for increasing the scope of the SACSI program. The research team also conducted an analysis of reoffending among SACSI Offenders in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in order to assess whether criminal behavior changed following the implementation of the Notification Program that was conducted with offenders on probation to communicate to them the low tolerance for violent crime in the community. To determine if criminal behavior changed following the program, the research team obtained arrest records from the Winston-Salem Police Department of 138 subjects who attended a notification session between September 9, 1999, and September 7, 2000. These records are contained in Part 2, Notification Program Offender Data. Variables in Part 2 included notification (status and date), age group, prior record, and 36 variables pertaining to being arrested for or identified as a suspect in nine specific types of crime.
