Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is a FBI data collection program to provide highly detailed information on all crimes committed in the reporting agency. It contains information on the victim and offender demographics and relationship, on the offense (location type, weapon, cause), property loss, drug or alcohol usage of offender, and the date and time of the crime. It also benefits from reporting all crimes and does not use the hierarchy rule (report only the most severe crime in the incident) like the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) does. 

NOTE: Vermont is not included in Arrestee or Window Arrestee files. Vermont data is incorrectly inputted in these files so has been excluded. 

The data are available as R, Excel (.csv), and feather files. Please use 7-Zip or WinZip to uncompress the files to access the data.
