TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the coverage of the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) as of 2013 and found that NIBRS covers 29.3% of the U.S. population and 28% of UCR index crimes.

TL;DR: The authors found that the existence of primary aggressor laws does appear to result in officer reluctance to make any arrest, and though these laws do result in a reduction in dual arrests, this reduction was not statistically significant and was undoubtedly a result of inter-state variation in implementation as well as variations in statutory framework.

TL;DR: This article found that racial minorities are at lower risk of arrest, while whites are more likely to be at risk of being targeted for hate crime, compared to other groups of people. But the impact of race on the likelihood an incident of intimate partner violence will result in arrest is mixed.

TL;DR: Examining the police response to incidents involving same-sex and heterosexual couples in 2,625,753 cases across 5,481 jurisdictions in 36 states and Washington, D.C. shows that incidents with same- sex couples are less likely to result in arrest, but far more likely toresult in dual arrests, in most incident configurations.

TL;DR: 10 years of law enforcement data from the United States' National Incident-based Reporting System on sexual victimization of males 14 years of age or older suggests that the handling of sexual assault cases reported to law enforcement remains problematic.
