LAPD NIBRS Victims Dataset

Reporting System (SRS) used in the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program. Unlike SRS, which grouped crimes into general categories, NIBRS collects detailed information for each incident, including multiple offenses, offenders, and victims when applicable. This detail-rich format may give the impression of increased crime levels due to its broader capture of criminal activity, but it actually provides a more accurate and nuanced view of crime in our community.

This change sets a new baseline for crime reporting, reflecting incidents in the City of Los Angeles starting from March 7, 2024. NIBRS collects detailed information about each victim per incident, including victim- demographics information and specific crime details, providing more insight into affected individuals within each reported crime.
