  2. History of Crime Reporting

  3. What is “Uniform Crime Reporting” The “uniform” collection and reporting of crime data from city, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies. • Began in 1927 by the International Association of Chiefs of Police • First Uniform Crime Reporting publication in 1929 • LEOKA reporting began in 1937

  4. UCR Program History 1952 Began contributing data on age, race, and sex of arrestees 1962 Began collecting data on murder victims including age, race, sex, and weapon used 1968 Michigan legislation was passed for UCR participation from all law enforcement agencies (PA 319 of 1968) 1978 Congress mandated the collection of arson data

  5. UCR Program History Collection of “ethnicity” began (optional in 1987) 1988 National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) was adopted by the FBI to form a uniform reporting method for all states 1990 Passage of the Hate Crime Statistics Act

  6. FUN FACTS Michigan was the first state to go from summary reporting to the “new” uniform crime reporting AND Michigan was also one of the pilot states to begin reporting to NIBRS.

  7. 2003 Deaths in Custody Reporting Act was federally mandated with quarterly reporting of deaths of offenders prior to arrest 2005 Michigan became the first state to have a large metropolitan agency (Detroit PD) submitting incident-based data 2008 LEOKA reporting was captured electronically through MICR, eliminating the paper reporting of officers killed or assaulted UCR Program History

  8. FBI Publications • Each year the nation’s data is published in three annual reports: • Crime in the United States (two major crime categories): • Violent Crimes (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) • Property Crimes (burglary, larceny, MVT, arson) • Hate Crime Statistics • Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted

  9. Benefits to Incident-Based Reporting • Statistics are used to generate laws and obtain state/federal grants • Standardizes and Identifies: • - common crime problems and/or trends • - characteristics of victims and offenders • - dates and locations of crime • Furnishes information on major crime issues • Increases public awareness of specific crime activities facing law enforcement and communities in different areas in the U.S. • Data is available from all levels of law enforcement and allows • future means for data sharing and crime mapping

  10. Year-end Deadlines The anticipated deadline for reporting 2011 data to MICR is March 3, 2012. • An agency needs 12 months of complete crime data to be compliant with the FBI’s year-end deadline. Non-compliance will result in your agency not being published in the FBI “Crime in the U.S.” The agency may also be in jeopardy of losing federal funding. • MIP (most in population) agencies with over 100,000 in population have two deadlines every year, a preliminary reporting of January – June and the year-end deadline. Data from the MIPs are used to calculate early crime trends in the U.S. for the reporting year.
