The files have been zipped by NACJD for release, but not checked or processed except for the removal of direct identifiers. Users should refer to the accompanying readme file for a brief description of the files available with this collection and consult the investigator(s) if further information is needed. To focus on the socio-cultural (including religious) contextual features that impact violent offending, victimization, and lethal self-harm, the researchers compiled county-level data on suicides, homicides, robbery, assault, religious adherence and demographic characteristics. The collection includes a data file with 62 variables and 3,140 cases in both SPSS and Stata formats.
