Now established as a permanent agency, the Census Bureau commissioned the drafting of a manual for preparing crime statistics\u2014intended for use by the police, corrections departments, and courts alike. The new manual sought to solve a perennial problem by suggesting a standard taxonomy of crime. Shortly after the Census Bureau issued its manual, the International Association of Chiefs of Police in convention adopted a resolution to create a Committee on Uniform Crime Records \u2014to begin the process of describing what a national system of data on crimes known to the police might look like. \n\nThe key distinction between the rigorous classification proposed in this report and the \u201cclassifications\u201d that have come before in U.S. crime statistics is that it is intended to partition the entirety of behaviors that could be considered criminal offenses into mutually exclusive categories.
