  Geostat Center: Collections: Uniform Crime Reports County Data
Other crime data is available in spreadsheet and interactive format from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, including state-level data.
Because not all agencies report data, the population repr esented by a non-reporting agency is not available for aggreagation into the county population total.
Consequently data from earlier year files should not be compared to data from 1994 and subsequent years because changes in procedures used to adjust for incomplete reporting at the ORI or jurisdiction level may be expected to have an impact on aggregates for counties in which some ORIs have not reported for all 12 months.

 Uniform Crime Reporting Methodology
The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of over 16,000 city, county, and state law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention.
Specifically, the crimes reported to the FBI are murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson.
Crimes are "cleared" in one of two ways: (1) at least one person is arrested, charged, and turned over to the court for prosecution; or (2) by exceptional means when some element beyond law enforcement agencies' control precludes the arrest of an offender.

 Uniform Crime Reports
The report is used by the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
The UCR does not use legal definitions of the crimes it indexes; rather, the defintions are based on an internal FBI classifaction system.
Much of the data presented via the UCR is expressed in the form of rates; such as, 23.6 crimes per 100,000 inhabitants of region X. The UCR indexes, in Part I, reported incidents of aggravated assault[?], arson, burglary, forcible rape, larceny, motor vehicle theft, murder, robbery, and theft.

 [No title]
Crime statistics were the means of measuring and achieving "efficiency." They also served the purpose of providing command officers, those individuals who saw themselves as professionals, with a standardized and common language, a jargon.
Annual reports should also contain, for the use of other cities for the purpose of comparison, the number of men on the department, extent of territory covered, and such other information as might be of general use.
Since the Reports were designed to complement the authoritarian model of policing which emerged in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, they are of little value in measuring the success of innovative police programs such as foot patrol.

The FBI collects hate crime data regarding criminal offenses committed against persons, property, or society that are motivated, in whole or in part, by the offender's bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or ethnicity/national origin.
These forms supply the national UCR Program with information about each hate crime incident including the offense classification and its respective bias motivation, the number and type of victims, the location of the incident, the number of suspected offenders, and the suspected offender's race.
At the end of each calendar quarter, reporting agencies submit a Quarterly Hate Crime Report, which includes the total number of incidents reported for the quarter and deletes any previously reported incidents that were, through subsequent investigation, determined not to be bias motivated.

Besides the general UCR statistics, specialized reports are available at the FBI site on terrorism, hate crimes and the number of law enforcement officers killed or injured in the line of duty in the United States.
Rather than relying on what crimes are reported to police, as the UCR does, this report is based on surveys of people in which they are asked whether they were victims of particular crimes.
One final caveat: As I noted in the Uniform Crime Reports section, changes and difficulties in gathering and reporting crime statistics can affect their reliability, particularly if you are tracking crime rates over a period of time or trying to compare one city's rate with another.

 Introduction Uniform Crime Reports: Hate Crime Statistics - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The goal of the Hate Crime Statistics Act and its subsequent amendments is to capture information about the type of bias serving as the motivating factor of a hate crime, the nature of the offense, and the number and types of the victim(s) and offender(s).
Though the reports from these agencies are insufficient to allow valid national or regional measure of the volume and types of crimes motivated by hate, they offer perspectives on the general nature of hate crime occurrence.
Through the collection of hate crime statistics at the local level, law enforcement agencies have the ability to heighten the awareness and the understanding of bias-motivated crimes both locally and nationwide.
