Dataset-ID: 010-002-002
Dataset: Shows arrests (total and per 10,000 people) by race of arrestee, whether adult or juvenile, offense, state, county, and jurisdiction.
Shows arrests, by offense, state, county, jurisdiction, and suspect age, sex, and race. Data are from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 17,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. The UCR Program counts one arrest for each separate instance in which a person is arrested, cited, or summoned for an offense. Because a person may be arrested multiple times during the year, the UCR arrest figures do not reflect the number of individuals who have been arrested. Rather, the arrest data show the number of times that persons are arrested, as reported by law enforcement agencies to the UCR Program. The UCR system defines a "juvenile" as anyone under 18 years of age, regardless of state definitions.
