(The membership listing of the Association of State Uniform Crime Reporting Programs, at, was consulted to start the listing of programs.) The maintenance of criminal history record databases or development of intrastate communication networks for law enforcement use are among the things that are typically dealt with in parallel passages of state codes we have tried to avoid citing these (and instead focusing more on pure “crime statistics”) except in cases where the state UCR program appears to draw authority from such broader initiatives. The opening bullet point tries to identify the most basic mandate for crime reporting-typically, the law from which the state’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program draws its base authority.
To the extent practicable, the listing for each state summarizes or quotes from state statute or other documents, covering 5–6 items: In this appendix, we attempt to summarize the relevant legal context for crime reporting in each state. Excerpted State Legal Requirements for Crime Reporting
