This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. It is not necessary that injury result from an aggravated assault when a gun, knife, or other weapon is used which could and probably would result in serious personal injury if the crime were successfully completed. Burglary The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft. For reporting purposes this definition includes: unlawful entry with intent to commit a larceny or felony; breaking and entering with intent to commit a larceny; housebreaking; safecracking; and all attempts to commit any of the aforementioned.
Motor Vehicle Theft The theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle. Classify as motor vehicle theft all cases where automobiles are taken by persons not having lawful access even though vehicles are later abandoned, including joyriding. Weapon Law Violations The violation of laws or ordinances dealing with weapon offenses, regulatory in nature, such as: manufacture, sale, or possession of deadly weapons; carrying deadly weapons, concealed or openly; furnishing deadly weapons to minors; aliens possessing deadly weapons; and all attempts to commit any of the aforementioned.
Drug Abuse Violations Violations of State and local laws relating to the unlawful possession, sale, use, growing, manufacturing, and making of narcotic drugs. Liquor Law Violations The violation of laws or ordinances prohibiting: the manufacture, sale, transporting, furnishing, possessing of intoxicating liquor; maintaining unlawful drinking places; bootlegging; operating a still; furnishing liquor to a minor or intemperate person; using a vehicle for illegal transportation of liquor; drinking on a train or public conveyance; and all attempts to commit any of the aforementioned.
Drunkenness and driving under the influence are not included in this definition. Sex Offenses - Non forcible Unlawful, non-forcible sexual intercourse. A value of indicates that all ORIs in the county reported for all 12 months in the year. These ORIs report for jurisdictions such as national parks, colleges and universities, toll bridges and tunnels, and most state police departments.
As the coverage indicator is based on months of reporting and the population of each agency, this variable will not show estimation that did occur for statewide ORIs and for ORIs as listed above that do not have a population but reported 3 to 11 months of data. Conversely, the coverage indicator will indicate that estimation has occurred for ORIs with a population that reported 3 to 11 months of data even if the ORIs actually reported no crimes or arrests.
Similarly, the coverage indicator will indicate that estimation had occurred for ORIs with a population that reported 0 to 2 months of arrest data and 1 to 2 months of crimes reported data, even though no rate was calculated to estimate data because of the lack of ORIs in the agency's geographic stratum reporting 12 months of data.
Finally, since data for ORIs that reported 0 to 2 months of arrest and 1 to 2 months of crime are set to zero, users should be aware that no estimation of data was possible for ORIs in these categories without a population. In the crimes reported files, no estimation was possible for agencies reporting 0 months because population figures for these agencies were not provided in the original files from the FBI. Limited or no crime or arrest data were available for some states in The ICPSR algorithm estimates data for agencies reporting less than three months of data by calculating rates from agencies reporting 12 months of data located in the agency's geographic stratum within that state.
Since data for these states were very limited or not present in the original data, estimates for the entire state could not be produced by ICPSR. Some tables in "Crime in the United States " were prepared using data only from agencies submitting complete reports for the 12 months for prior to the publication deadline for example, Section IV, Table Arrests by State.
County records with a coverage indicator value of contain only month reporting agencies see last paragraph of the Coverage Indicator section in the Introduction for possible exceptions. Agencies reporting 12 months of data within a county with a coverage indicator value less than cannot be separately identified in this dataset aggregated at the county level. In this data collection, zeroes may represent both true zeroes or missing data, and it is possible to distinguish between the two.
In the arrest files Parts and , the coverage indictor alone does not indicate whether or not zeroes are true or missing values. A county can have a coverage indicator of zero, but still contain arrest data. ICPSR can estimate arrest data for a county that did not report any arrests based on data for other counties of comparable population size in the same state that did report 12 months of data. In order to distinguish true zeroes from missing values, the user has to look at the coverage indicator for a county in conjunction with the arrest variables.
If an arrest variable for a particular county has a value of zero and the coverage indicator is greater than zero, then the arrest variable contains a true zero. This true zero is not necessarily a reported zero as it may have been estimated.
If an arrest variable for a particular county has a value of zero and the coverage indicator for that county is zero, then the user must check the values of ALL of the arrest variables. If some arrest variables contain zeroes and some contain other values, then the zeroes for this county are true. If ALL arrest variables and the coverage indicator for the county in question contain zeroes, then these indicate missing data. In the crimes reported file Part 4 , data can not be estimated for non-reporting agencies.
Therefore, counties with no population for reporting agencies will also have a coverage indicator of zero and all crime variables will have a value of zero. These zeroes indicate missing data. If a county has one or more offense variables with a value of zero, but has a value of greater than zero for the population and coverage indicator variables, then the zeroes for these particular offense variables should be considered true zeroes for the purposes of analysis.
Cities designated by the Census Bureau as independent cities are reported separately and have their own "county" codes see Appendix. Some jurisdictions, such as state parks and some state police, provide data only on a statewide basis. In these cases, data are allocated to counties proportionate to their share of the total state population.
Parts 5 to 8 contain the amount of statewide data allocated to each county. To obtain the county total without the statewide allocation, the statewide values can be subtracted from the county data. State Police data for Vermont were not reported within a county and the State Police data for Alaska and Connecticut are not allocated to the counties.
These three State Police records are identified by the county code In the data and onward another county code was added to these data files. From , tribal agencies began to report offense data. Data for those agencies in each state will be in one record identified by the county code of Department of Commerce, as a reference for assigning FIPS codes for the counties in this data collection. However, since no agency record from Denali was present in the original FBI data for either the arrest or crimes reported files, no data are missing from the ICPSR data.
ICPSR did not adjust this data collection to reflect this change so that the data files would remain consistent with earlier years. Yellowstone National Park was left as a county equivalent in this data collection to remain consistent with earlier years. The county was assigned a new FIPS code to maintain the alphanumeric sequence of counties. Clifton Forge is now an incorporated place within Alleghany County, rather than a separate county-equivalent surrounded by Alleghany County.
This action will reduce the number of Virginia independent cities to 39 and the number of United States counties and equivalent areas to 3, The action reduces the total number of independent cities in the United States to The census place code of and FIPS code of are unaffected.
The boundaries of Broomfield County reflect the boundaries of Broomfield city legally in effect on November 15, In the UCR county-level arrest files, the population and data for jurisdictions located in multiple counties are provided only in the county containing the largest population component of the jurisdiction.
Counties containing smaller population components of multiple-county jurisdictions will contain no population or arrest data for these jurisdictions. Data in counties affected by one or more multiple-county jurisdictions are indicated by a multi-county jurisdiction flag variable. In the county-level crimes reported files, the population and crime data for jurisdictions located in multiple counties are provided by the UCR proportioned to each county maximum of three in which the jurisdiction is located.
