    2014 Crime in Tennessee
    (Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, CJIS Support Center, 4/27/2015)
    This annual statistical report is based on incident-based data submitted by every law enforcement agency across the state. All law enforcement agencies as well as colleges and universities are mandated to report crime statistics monthly to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI). The Tennessee Incident Based Reporting System (TIBRS) program is an incident-based reporting system designed to collect information on every single crime occurrence and on each offense and arrest within the occurrence. The most significant difference between TIBRS and traditional Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system is the degree of detail in reporting. TIBRS collects information on 23 crime categories made up of 50 specific offenses (Group A offenses) compared to the UCR Summary reporting system that collects only eight Part 1 Offenses. Additionally, arrests are reported for 10 Group B offense categories in TIBRS. Under the UCR Summary system, only the most serious offense is reported. In TIBRS up to 10 offenses can be reported within the same incident and each offense is counted as a crime. This publication reports statewide data, as well as data for each agency.

    The 2015 Montana Crime Victimization Survey
    (Montana Board of Crime Control Statistical Analysis Center, 2017) Bunch, Jackson; McKay, Patrick; Ore, Peter; Hollist, Dusten; Moore, Elliot; Harris, Chuck
    In 2015, The Montana Board of Crime Control’s (MBCC) Statistical Analysis Center—in partnership with the University of Montana Criminology Research Group (CRG), the University of Montana Social Science Research Lab, and the University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER)—set out to construct a crime victimization survey to better understand crime in Montana. By asking Montanans about their personal experience of crime, the 2015 Montana Crime Victimization Survey (MVCS 2015) provides an important alternative to existing law enforcement crime data, such as the Uniform Crime Reports (UCR), the Montana Incident-Based Reporting System (MTIBRS), and national-level victimization survey data from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). Gathering data directly from Montanans about their experiences with criminal victimization provides insight into unreported crime (or crimes not known to police). By their nature, unreported crimes are absent from statistics obtained from the UCR and the MTIBRS. Though the NCVS also gathers crime data from victims, its design provides national-level statistics that cannot be disaggregated to the state level (with limited exceptions for some metropolitan areas). MCVS 2015 was designed to address the data gap between the UCR, the MTIBRS, and the NCVS by surveying the extent and nature of unreported crimes within Montana. [CVRL Note: the first 20 pages are an executive summary of findings followed by more details on methods and findings. See also the survey instruments, questions, formulas, and multiple tables showing responses for each question.] (Author Text)

    (Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice, Statistical Analysis Center, 5/1/2019)
    To provide a picture of the changes in crime across the country and to provide useful data to Louisiana police agencies, statistics gathered are incumbent in recognizing problems in Louisiana. Statistics of criminal acts deemed most serious, most pervasive across the country, most likely to be reported, and most frequently committed are counted in the UCR Program. The Part I offense classifications include: violent crimes: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; and burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft. Congressional mandated arson was added as a Part I offense category in 1979, and human trafficking, commercial sex acts, and involuntary servitude were added as Part I offenses in 2016.

    About Uniform Crime Reporting Program Data
    (Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority, 9/27/2016) Hughes, E.
    The Illinois UCR Program provides state-specific data for the UCR program. Those who use the programs to study crime trends should become familiar with the data source, its method of collection, and caveats needed to ensure proper data context. The researcher suggests resuming training on UCR guidelines as funding allows. Once UCR has transitioned to NIBRS, there will be access to detailed information that allows for closer examination of trends and issues in the criminal justice system.

    Addressing Data Quality in Ohio's Incident-Based Reporting System: Application of Akiyama and Propheter (2005) Outlier Detection Methods
    (Ohio Department of Public Safety, Office of Criminal Justice Services, 1/1/2019) Nicholson, Kristina; Wedd, Alan; Patridge, Charles
    Crime data are collected nationally through the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime Reporting Systems and the National Incident-Based Reporting System. Law enforcement agencies in Ohio have submitted crime data to the federal system since 1989 through the Ohio Incident-Based Reporting System (OIBRS). These crime data form the basis for crime reports and crime mapping that ultimately inform policy and practice throughout the state. Given the importance of crime data, continuous data quality and improvement is a high priority. While federal and state systems implement logical checks on the data submitted by law enforcement agencies, only the federal system have automated checks in place to determine the reasonableness of the data submitted by local agencies. At the local level, the onus of these checks is put on the data systems coordinator through manual inspections. This project moves to fill this gap by applying Akiyama and Propheter's (2005) federally-used outlier detection methods to Ohio's incident-based data. Additionally, the project expanded beyond Akiyama and Propheter (2005) by adapting methods to account for critical cut points that limit the number of agencies identified as outliers. This report summarizes the methods applied to Ohio's 2014 and 2015 OIBRS data and discusses the next steps in automating the implementation of additional data quality checks at the state-level.

    American Indian Crime in Idaho: Victims, Offenders, and Arrestees
    (Idaho Statistical Analysis Center, 2013) Kifer, Misty
    American Indians have the highest victimization rates of all racial/ethnic groups in the United States (Perry, 2004). Despite the unusual disparity in the vulnerability to violent victimization, the pervasiveness of American Indian crime is rarely reported or acknowledged. The focus of this report is on the prevalence, nature, and consequences of crime in Idaho involving American Indians as victims and offenders. Four sources of information were analyzed to get a more complete picture of the amount and type of crime involving American Indians in Idaho: the Idaho Crime Victimization Survey, 2008; “Native American Crime in the Northwest: 2004-2005,” describing the offenses reported by tribal law enforcement agencies to the Bureau of Indian Affairs Office of Law Enforcement and Security Montana Board of Crime Control; UCR offenses reported by Idaho tribal law enforcement agencies to the FBI; and the Idaho Incident Based Reporting System (IIBRS).

    An Analysis of Robbery in Oklahoma Using Incident-Based Reporting Data (SIBRS)
    (Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, 10/24/2019)
    The Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) is co-located with the state's criminal history repository, the state's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, and the State Incident-Based Reporting (SIBRS) Program. The purpose of this study is to increase access to and understanding of the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) enhanced data. By analyzing NIBRS compatible data, the SAC aims to demonstrate the value of SIBRS data to local agencies and government planners, as well as its utility for problem-solving and understanding crimes reported in Oklahoma. The SAC and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI) hope to demonstrate the value and utility of SIBRS data to encourage all local law enforcement agencies (LEAs) in Oklahoma to commit to SIBRS reporting and to report quality data. While the number of robberies reported varied monthly, there was an increase in reports between January and August. The number of reported robberies then fluctuated significantly between August and November. During this period, reported robberies: decreased 41.0% from August to September, increased 95.7% from September to October, and then decreased 42.2% from October to November. The majority, 60.9% of robbery victims reported that they did not know the offender. 33.9% of robberies occurred at a residence, with 40.5% of residential robberies occurring between the hours of 9:00 PM and 3;00 AM. Money was the most reported property type stolen (26.3%). However, automobiles which accounted for only 3.9% of the types of property stolen, accounted for 38.8% of the total value of the stolen property.

    An Analysis of Robbery in Oklahoma Using State Incident-Based Data: Selected Findings
    (Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, 12/5/2019)
    The Oklahoma Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) conducted a study of robbery in Oklahoma using the State Incident-Based Reporting System (SIBRS). The purpose of studying robbery is to increase understanding of National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) enhanced data. Additionally, the SAC strives to demonstrate the value State Incident-Based Reporting System (SIBRS) data can have for local agencies, problem-solving, and understanding crimes reported in Oklahoma. SIBRS defines robbery as “the taking or attempting to take anything of value under confrontational circumstances from the control, custody, or care of another person by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear of immediate harm.†The SAC reviewed a total of 357 reports of robbery for the calendar year 2017. Researchers found there were 476 robbery victims and that most robberies (33.9%) were reported to have occurred at a Residence/Home. See also the full report.
