Three Group B Offenses have been eliminated

Effective January 1, 2021, three Group B offenses—90A = Bad Checks, 90E = Drunkenness (except Driving Under the Influence), and 90H = Peeping Tom—were eliminated from NIBRS due to a lack of arrest data for these offenses.

 If an agency reports a 90A, 90E, or a 90H offense, the UCR Program’s computer system will automatically change the offense to a 90Z = All Other Offenses. Agencies reporting these offenses will not receive an error message. Agencies will not need to change their computer programming unless they want to eliminate the offenses in their databases as well.

 The FBI provided more info in the UCR Program Quarterly: February 2021 (21-1) on page 11.

This change was a result of the CJIS Advisory Policy Board (APB) meeting in December 2018, and the FBI Director approved this measure on May 5, 2019.
