New York State Office of Justice Systems Analysis Summaries of Uniform Crime Reports

Chronological by year, then geographical by county, police precinct, or local law enforcement agency.

These records were created by the Office of Justice Systems Analysis for reporting crimes committed in New York. Part I of each report contains data on seven serious crimes (murder, rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft). Data on the Part I offense is furnished to the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system for inclusion in their national Crime Index. The data is eventually transferred to NARA. In accordance with FBI guidelines, Part II contains data on 21 additional lesser felonies and misdemeanors.

Local law enforcement agencies submit Uniform Crime Reporting statistics to the Division of Criminal Justice Services monthly, using standardized forms. Summary data is published in the Crime and Justice Annual Report. Part I and Part II data includes number of offenses reported, "unfounded" (i.e. groundless), and "cleared" (by arrest or other means); and demographic data (age, sex, race, ethnic origin) on persons arrested. For Part I, there is additional data on method, time of day, or location of crimes. There are supplemental reports on murder, manslaughter, and arson cases. There are also summaries for New York City, upstate, and statewide. There are summary reports of property stolen and recovered by type and value.
