Expanded offense data are the details of the various offenses that the Uniform Crime
Reporting Program collects beyond the count of how many crimes law enforcement
agencies report. These details may include the type of weapon used in a crime, type or
value of items stolen, and so forth. For example, expanded homicide data provide
supplemental details about murders, such as the age, sex, race, and ethnicity of both the
victim and the offender, the weapon used in the homicide, the circumstances
surrounding the offense, and the relationship of the victim to the offender. In addition to
these types of details, expanded data include trends (for example, 2-year comparisons)
and crime rates per 100,000 inhabitants.
Data collection
Expanded offense data, including expanded homicide data, are details collected in
addition to the reports of the number of crimes known. As a result, law enforcement
agencies can report an offense without providing the supplemental information about
that offense.
