Policing Insight - Registration at source 19/5/2025 Feature, Opinion The New Dawn of NIBRS: Race/Ethnicity and Crime Patterns and the NIBRS Transition In 2021, the FBI sought to retire the Uniform Crime Report (UCR) Summary Reporting System (SRS) and fully transition to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). However, it is unclear how this transition to a “NIBRS-only” system might impact statistics on race/ethnicity and crime in the United States. To date, research offers few comparisons of race/ethnicity and crime patterns in NIBRS versus traditional UCR reporting systems. In addition, studies that provide these comparisons were conducted years ago (1) before the full transition to NIBRS when the program had limited coverage (less than 30% U.S. population coverage) and (2) before the rapid growth in U.S. minority groups and especially Hispanic populations seen throughout the twenty-first century. The current study addresses this gap in research by comparing racial/ethnic portraits of crime (cross-sectionally and over time) across four of the FBI's “public facing” official crime data systems—(1) Crime in the United States (CIUS) reports, (2) NIBRS Offender data, (3) NIBRS Arrestee data, and (4) NIBRS Arrestee National Estimates. Findings suggest that Black offending and arrest patterns are generally consistent across data sources, but depictions of Hispanic crime involvement differ sharply depending on which data source is used.

By centering the experiences of civilian community members, police officials, and government actors, the study explores how antiracist principles can shape procedural development to address racialized policing practices and racial trauma. Findings highlight three central themes: trust and legitimacy, inclusion and belonging, and healing and liberation. Through an antiracist process, participants collaboratively designed a policing procedure that not only addressed racial disparities but also expanded to include other marginalized identities, evolving into an identity-responsive policing directive. The study underscores the importance of community-driven, participatory governance in policing reform, demonstrating that antiracist frameworks can strengthen trust, foster healing, and enhance procedural legitimacy. These findings provide a model for reimagining police–community relations and offer critical insights for law enforcement agencies and policymakers seeking to embed antiracist principles into policing practices. By prioritizing systemic change over individual-level interventions, this research contributes to the broader discourse on justice-oriented police reform and the potential for antiracist frameworks to transform law enforcement procedures. Race and Justice - Subscription at source 19/5/2025 Research article Did More Stop and Search by Police Cause Less Knife Injury in London? Evidence from 2008–2023 This study investigates the impact of police stop and search encounters (SSEs) on knife injuries and homicides in public places in London. While prior research has studied SSE impact on crime in general, we focus specifically on SSE relations to weapon-related injuries and deaths: whether conducting more SSEs over time has reduced such crimes. The study analyzes 15 years of data (183 months) from the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) in London, including 58,503 recorded knife injuries and 4.3 million police SSEs. Two quasi-experiments and Autoregressive (AR) models were employed to examine correlations between changes in SSE volumes and trends in knife injuries and homicides over time. AR models revealed statistically significant reductions in knife murders and injuries in response to increased SSEs. Specifically, if SSEs were conducted at the 2008–2011 rate of 45,000 per month, there would be an estimated 30 fewer knife murders per year. Additionally, changes in SSE frequency were associated with notable crime rate shifts. A 66% reduction in SSEs from May 2014 led to 44 more knife murders and 1276 more injuries than expected. Conversely, a 55% increase in SSEs in January 2018 resulted in 27 fewer knife injuries per month. The results suggest that increased SSEs can significantly reduce knife-related injuries and homicides in public places. This reduction translates into preventable healthcare costs of approximately £216,000 per month. These findings highlight the potential effectiveness of formerly higher levels of SSEs in preventing knife crime, with one fewer injury occurring every day in London.
