Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook
- Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook
Frequently referred to as "The Green Book" due to its green cover, the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook is a publication of the United States Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The manual instructs law enforcement officers on the proper method for filling out the monthly Uniform Crime Reports returns for police records and statistics.
History
The Committee on Uniform Crime Records, established by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) in 1927, published the first version of the manual in 1929. At that time, the manual defined Part I and Part II offenses and well as the Return A - Monthly Return of Offenses Known to the Police. The most recent revision of the manual was published in 2004.
