NIBRS
Hate Crimes 1995–2000: Juvenile Victims
and Offenders
presents a wealth of data on bias (hate) crimes involving juvenile
victims and offenders, drawn from the FBI's National Incident-Based
Reporting System (NIBRS). The site was compiled by James J. Nolan,
III, West Virginia University; F. Carson Mencken, Baylor University;
and Jack McDevitt, Northeastern University. An OJJDP grant to West
Virginia University supported the project.
The site provides a statistical overview of bias crime incidents,
including data on victim and offender characteristics (age, gender,
race-ethnicity), type of bias and offense, location, weapons, time
of day, victim injuries, and offender use of alcohol or drugs. Special
sections focus on bias crimes that occur at school and those that
involve religious or sexual orientation bias.
The site's analytical section presents tables and figures
generated from NIBRS data. The tables can be copied and pasted into
a Microsoft Excel file so that users can create their own graphics
or conduct additional analysis. In addition, ready-to-use datasets
and codebooks are available for download.
This site is one of several featured
in the OJJDP Statistical
Briefing Book related
links section. These links provide direct
access to a variety of Web-based statistical resources on juvenile
offending, victimization of juveniles, and involvement of youth in
the juvenile justice system. |
