D -- Crime In the United State Data Drive Web Site

Request for Information Crime in the United States Data Driven Website This synopsis is issued for informational and planning purposes only! The GPO/FBI seeks a proposal for the creation of dynamic database driven web site based on the data from Crime in the United States publication. The goal of this web site is to allow the user to search the data and to create custom tables. Alternative displays of data such as graphs and color-coded maps might also be helpful to the user. Each table in Crime in the United States is focused on a different type of data and each would need a custom search. (Note: because of the way data is recorded, comparisons across tables is not possible) Background Crime in the United States, a publication of the FBI, Uniform Crime Reporting program, is an annual comprehensive statistical publication produced from data from over 17,000 law enforcement agencies across the United States. It is a compiles volume and rate of crime offenses for the nation, the states, and individual agencies. This report also includes arrest, clearance, and law enforcement employee data.
