Description

One of three quantitative data bases comprising the Commercial Theft Studies component of the Study of the Causes of Crime for Gain, this criminal justice data collection contains information on commercial burglary incidents in a specific geographic area. The data collection includes incident characteristics, theft item, value of stolen property and suspect characteristics, e.g., police contacts, number of arrests, sex, race, and age. These data were collected from the files of the Xenon, New Jersey, Police Department. A printed codebook documents these data.
