This dynamic data analysis tool allows you to generate tables and graphs of arrests from 1980 onward. You can view national arrest estimates, customized either by age and sex or by age group and race, for many different offenses. This tool also enables you to view local arrests.

Select National Estimates or Agency-Level Counts from the menu above. Use the Annual Tables to view tables of arrests broken down by sex, race, age, or juvenile and adult age groups. Select Trend Tables by Sex or Trend Tables by Race to create customized tables of long-term trends. In National Estimates, you can also view graphs of long-term trends by sex or by race and age-arrest curves for a large number of offenses.

The underlying data are from the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. BJS has expanded upon the FBI's estimates to provide national arrest estimates detailed by offense, sex, age, and race. The Methods tab describes estimation procedures and the limitations of the arrest data. The Definitions tab gives you the meaning or use of terms, including the FBI's offense definitions. You can download output to Excel or PDF formats.
