Are you sure its not still?
I am sure its in some libraries in hard copy form. I am seeking it online in digital form. On FBI site I can only find weekly data to 1995. I found annual data forDC back to 1960 at Bureau of Judicial Statistics. > And deomgraphic and economic variables are often > > only available in annual form.

I would love monthly data, but some of the best most detailed demographic data is actual by census period --every 10 years. Some annual updates to that for big bucks is available. Some monthly for current time frame, like employment, personal income by cohort etc. But try to find that in monthly form for 1993. And before as would be necessary for estimating strong models. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Get fast access to your favorite Yahoo! Groups.
