This report examines publicly available data from the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) to better understand more about the different demographic groups with differing representation in the observed offense data, and how these trends vary by time. Furthermore, this report will assess the demographic differences in the presence of bias motivation, the use of weapons and/ or force, and the presence of familiarity in victimization in NIBRS crimes against society.
