Uniform Crime Reports, 2015 (County-Level)

Description

This subset of data comes from one iteration of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, administered in 2015. These data were collected by the Federal Bureau of Investigation under the United States Department of Justice. While the original data cover every reported crime event that took place in 2015, these data are aggregated to the county level. Additionally, these data are combined with (a subset of) county-level demographic data from the 2005-2009 (5-year estimates) iteration of the American Community Survey. Information about the data set can be found in the UCR2015 Codebook at: https://burrelvannjr.com/docs/UCR2015_Codebook.pdf.
