part of the Department of Justice, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) collects, analyzes, publishes, and disseminates information on crime, offenders and victims, and the justice system.
Begun in 1929 to provide uniform crime date to the nation, the FBI was charged in 1930 with collecting, publishing, and archiving such date. Today some 18,000 law enforcement agencies contribute data.
The four major publications are: Crime in the United States, Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, Hate Crime Statistics, and National Incident-Based Reporting System.
The database provides summary information for more than 9,000 criminal arrest cases of nonfederal sworn law enforcement officers (e.g., police officers, state troopers, deputy sheriffs) from the years 2005-2013. It is run by Dr. Philip M. Stinson, associate professor of Criminal Justice at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. It is named after Henry A. Wallace (1888-1965), the 33rd Vice President of the United States.
Explore a huge collection of U.S. statistics across topics like business, economics, sociology, education, and more. You can create charts, maps, and rankings to make the data easy to understand. It’s a great place to find reliable numbers for research projects and assignments.
