Summary
Shows the count of homicides reported by offender characteristics, including age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Counts are reported by state, county, and jurisdiction. The Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR) Master File contains details about the murders for which supplemental data were provided to the FBI: situation type (eg, single victim/single offender); the age, sex, race, and ethnicity of the victim and the offender; the weapon used in the homicide; the relationship of the victim to offender; and the circumstance surrounding the offense. Data are from the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 17,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. The SHR captures deaths by location of offense, and thus includes all homicides occurring in state and local law enforcement jurisdictions. SHR data do not measure homicides occurring in federal prisons, on military bases, or on Indian reservations. The information provided on the SHR form reflects what agencies know based on their initial police investigation and does not reflect subsequent decisions made by prosecutors or courts. Due to the voluntary nature of the FBI program, reporting consistency and completeness may vary by year and jurisdiction, which limits data comparability.
