About the New Haven area arrest data


The data that appear on this site have been extracted from the Uniform Crime Reporting Program: Arrests by Age, Sex, and Race for Police Agencies in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 1960-1995. The dataset was obtained from the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, P.O. Box 1248, Ann Arbor, MI 48106, Rowland Chilton and Dee Weber, Principal Investigators. Because arrest data by sex are incomplete, breakdowns by sex are not reported here.
