Summary

Description

This map layer shows crime statistics for the United States for the years 1994-2000, drawn from the Uniform Crime Reporting Program data compiled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and archived at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR). Crime data are reported by county and are provided for eight crimes: murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, motor vehicle theft, and arson. Statewide allocation data are not included in this map layer. Crime data are adjusted to compensate for incomplete reporting by individual law enforcement agencies. See the online codebook at for more information. This is an update of the January 2003, map layer; fields for the above crime statistics, normalized by crime population, have been added.
