Crime Data available at NICAR

NICAR provides access to comprehensive FBI crime statistics from 1994 organized across five detailed databases, along with Federal Death records from the Social Security Administration and ATF firearms dealer information for investigative journalism purposes.

NICAR now has 1994 FBI records, available either for the whole nation or individual states. The database is divided into five tables: Return A, listing numbers of crimes committed in a number of categories; Supplement to Return A, listing more details about the crimes (especially types and dollar amounts of property crimes); Supplemental Homicide Report, listing the victims and offenders in homicides (this also includes victim/offender data on other crimes); Police, listing assaults and homicides of police officers; and Arson, listing reported and proven instances of arson.

NICAR also has Federal Death records from the Social Security Administration and data from the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. SSA Death Records comprise almost 50 million deaths dating from 1937. The SSA collected the records from Social Security rolls, states, funeral homes and other sources. Data included are SSN, name, dates of birth and death, state code and zip code,

The ATF database contains the business and mailing addresses of firearms dealers across the United States. Please contact NICAR for more information and prices.
