YES, IT'S VERMARCABLE
Public Safety & Crime: Crime Reporting Terms, Codes & Classifications
A free glossary of U.S. crime-reporting terms and classification systems — UCR, NIBRS, Part I index crimes, the violent- and property-crime definitions, clearance rate, the hierarchy rule, NCVS, and recidivism — with precise plain-language definitions drawn from the FBI and the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Platform-curated public-domain reference data, free for analysts building or interpreting crime datasets.
