BJS releases updates to LEARCAT, the Law Enforcement Agency Reported Crime Analysis Tool

BJS updated its Law Enforcement Agency Reported Crime Analysis Tool (LEARCAT) with recently released 2022 crime data and refreshed 2021 data. LEARCAT provides access to incident-based data on crimes recorded by law enforcement using data from the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), as well as contextual information from other federal data sources, such as the U.S. Census Bureau. The tool includes crime incident and victimization information at the state, county, and local law enforcement agency levels.

LEARCAT enables users to—

• produce custom views of NIBRS data to show various attributes of crime
• produce custom datasets for analysis
• generate univariate statistics and perform basic
  cross-tabulation analyses.
  
  

LEARCAT includes NIBRS data from 2016 through 2022. BJS plans to enhance the functionality of and add updated data to the tool, based on the availability of data and resources.
