Scope and Content Note

The series consists of computer printouts indexing crimes over two-year reporting periods. The Division of Criminal Justice Services maintains statistics on crime as part of its responsibilities to conduct research and provide advisory services to localities to improve the administration of criminal justice statewide. The printouts show, on a month-by-month basis, two-year comparisons of key offenses arranged according to crime, county, and reporting agency within the county, as well as for the state as a whole. The reports provide summary information on two-year trends for specific crimes within the geographic localities of New York.
