Summary note
These data are part of NACJD's Fast Track Release and are distributed as they were received from the data depositor. The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed expect for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) is further information is needed. This collection is composed of archived news articles and court records reporting (n=6,724) on the arrest(s) of law enforcement officers in the United States from 2005-2011. Police crimes are those crimes committed by sworn law enforcement officers given the general powers of arrest at the time the offense was committed. These crimes can occur while the officer is on or off duty and include offenses committed by state, county, municipal, tribal, or special law enforcement agencies. Three distinct but related research questions are addressed in this collection: What is the incidence and prevalence of police officers arrested across the United States? How do law enforcement agencies discipline officers who are arrested? To what degree do police crime arrests correlate with other forms of police misconduct? Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR35648
