Contents  of  the  January  Bulletin. 

This  number  of  the  bulletin  contains  the  usual  table  of  offenses 
known  to  the  police  for  the  month  of  January  as  reflected  by  the  re- 
turns received  by  the  Bureau  of  Investigation  from  contributing  police 
departments  throughout  the  country.  Returns  for  the  above  month 
are  also  shown  for  several  counties  in  various  States,  three  of  the  four 
divisions  of  Alaska,  and  Porto  Rico,  while  those  received  from  State 
Police  of  a  few  of  the  States  are  also  included.  These  miscellaneous 
returns,  exclusive  of  figures  submitted  by  police  departments,  are 
included  in  a  separate  table.  In  addition  to  the  returns  submitted  for 
the  month  of  January,  the  bulletin  also  contains  a  table  showing  the 
number  of  offenses  known  for  various  police  departments  for  previous 
months,  including  returns  from  Alaska  and  the  Philippines.  These 
supplementary  returns  were  received  subsequent  to  the  last  issue  of 
the  bulletin. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include  those  crimes  designated  as 
Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification,  occurring  within  the  police 
jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known  to  the  police  through  reports 
of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prosecuting  or  court  officials,  or  other- 
wise. They  are  confined  to  the  following  group  of  seven  classes  of 
grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience  to  be  those  most  generally  and 
completely  reported:  Felonious  hojnicide,  including  (a)  murder,  non- 
negligent  manslaughter,  and  (6)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape; 
robbery;  aggravated  assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny- 
theft,  including  (a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over,  and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50; 
and  auto  theft. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses  which  are  reported  by  the  police  departments  of  contributing 
cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 

The  bulletin  also  contains  tables  indicating  the  extent  of  the  report- 
ing area  by  States  for  1930,  for  January  of  1931,  and  the  area  repre- 
sented thereby.  Tables  are  also  included  which  show  the  average 
daily  number  of  offenses  of  the  designated  classes  for  December  and 
January,  based  on  the  figures  received. 
1,049  Cities  Reported  Currently  in  January. 

During  the  present  month  1,049  returns  have  been  received  from 
police  departments  for  the  month  of  January.     These  returns  repre- 
sent an  aggregate  population  of  45,027,860.     A  considerable  number 
of  supplementary  returns  for  various  months  of  1930  were  also  sub- 
CD 


mitted,  so  that  the  number  of  cities  which  have  at  any  time  contri- 
buted figures  on  offenses  known  to  the  poHce  reached  1,160,  represent- 
ing a  population  of  appro.ximately  46,564,425. 

In  the  following  table  are  shown  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the 
cities  and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities 
of  more  than  10,000  inhabitants,  from  which  returns  were  received  for 
the  month  of  January,  1931.  The  classification  is  based  on  the  popu- 
lation data  in  the  summary  recently  issued  by  the  Bureau  of  the 
Census.  In  addition  to  the  number  of  cities  listed  in  the  table  there 
were  404  cities  of  a  population  less  than  10,000  of  an  approximate 
population  of  2,154,246,  which  also  contributed  in  January.  The 
population  represented  by  the  returns  from  counties  and  others  is  not 
included  in  this  table.

The  above  table  does  not  include  404  cities  of  a  population  less  than  10,000  aggregating  a  total  of  2,154,246 
from  which  returns  were  received  for  January,  1931. 

Increase  in  Reporting  Area  Maintained  in  January. 

The  number  of  cities  contributing  crime  statistics  has  shown  a 
steady  increase  each  month  since  the  project  was  inaugurated,  and 
this  gradual  expansion  was  maintained  in  January  when  returns  w^  ere 
received  from  33  additional  cities  which  had  not  contributed  pre- 
viously. 

The  number  of  returns  by  States,  received  and  pubHshed  for  the 
month  of  January,  is  shown  in  the  following  table :

New  Forms  Distributed. 

Officials  contributing  crime  statistics  will  note  the  new  type  of 
Return  A  forms  distributed  with  this  issue  of  the  bulletin.  There 
is  no  material  change  in  the  general  outline  of  the  forms,  but  it  will 
be  observed  that  they  are  salmon  colored  whereas  those  heretofore 
used  were  white. 


The  brief  instructions  contained  on  the  reverse  side  of  these  forms 
should  be  of  considerable  assistance  to  new  contributors  and  it  is 
recommended  that  they  be  referred  to  before  inscribing  the  figures 
thereon.

Volume  2  FEBRUARY,  1931  Number  2 

Contents  of  the  February  Bulletin. 

This  issue  of  the  bulletin  consists  of  the  usual  tabulation  of  offenses 
known  to  the  police  for  the  month  of  February  as  indicated  by  the 
returns  submitted  to  the  Bureau  of  Investigation  by  the  various  con- 
tributing police  departments  throughout  the  country.  Returns  for  a 
number  of  counties  in  the  various  States  have  been  received,  as  well 
as  for  three  of  the  four  divisions  of  Alaska,  the  Canal  Zone,  and  Porto 
Rico.  The  figures  submitted  by  these  miscellaneous  jurisdictions  are 
included  in  a  separate  table  exclusive  of  the  figures  submitted  by  urban 
police  departments  in  the  United  States.  In  addition  to  the  above  the 
bulletin  also  contains  a  table  showing  the  number  of  offenses  known  as 
reported  by  the  various  police  departments  in  the  country  for  the  months 
previous  to  February,  1931.  These  supplementary  returns,  including 
a  number  of  reports  for  months  of  1930,  were  received  by  the  Bureau 
of  Investigation  subsequent  to  the  last  issue  of  the  bulletin. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include  those  crimes  designated  as 
Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification,  occurring  within  the 
police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known  to  the  police  through 
reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prosecuting  or  court  officials, 
or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the  following  group  of  seven 
classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience  to  be  those  most  gener- 
ally and  completely  reported  to  the  police:  Felonious  homicide,  in- 
cluding (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter,  and  (b)  manslaughter 
by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated  assault;  burglary — break- 
ing or  entering;  larceny-theft,  including  (a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over 
and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses  which  are  reported  by  the  police  departments  of  contributing 
cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 

The  bulletin  also  contains  tables  indicating  the  extent  of  the  re- 
porting area  by  States  for  1931.  Tables  are  also  included  which  show 
the  average  daily  number  of  offenses  of  the  designated  classes  for 
January  and  February  of  the  current  year,  as  reflected  by  the  figures 
received. 
Extent  of  Population  Area  for  1931. 

The  total  number  of  cities,  exclusive  of  county  returns  and  others, 
which  have  submitted  the  monthly  returns  on  offenses  known  to  the 
pohce,  either  in  January  or  February  of  1931,  is  1,161,  representing 

(1) 


an  aggregate  population  of  46,563,548.     More  than  90  per  cent  of 
these  cities  contributed  returns  for  both  months. 

The  following  table  shows  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  cities 
and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities  of  more 
than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns  have  been  received  for 
1931.  The  classification  is  based  on  the  population  data  in  the 
summary  issued  by  the  Bureau  of  the  Census.  In  addition  to  the 
number  of  cities  listed  in  the  table  there  were  487  cities  of  a  popula- 
tion less  than  10,000,  of  an  approximate  population  of  2,639,336, 
which  have  also  contributed  returns  during  the  current  year.  The 
population  represented  by  the  returns  from  counties  and  others  is 
not  included  in  this  table.

67  New  Contributors  for  February. 

During  the  current  month  returns  were  received  from  67  cities 
which  had  not  contributed  crime  statistics  at  any  time  previous  to 
the  publication  of  this  issue  of  the  bulletin.  For  the  month  of  Feb- 
ruary figures  were  received  from  1,077  cities.  This  number  repre- 
sents an  increase  of  28  over  the  total  number  of  current  returns 
received  in  January. 

The  number  of  returns,  by  States,  received  and  published  for  the 
months  of  January  and  February,  1931,  are  showm  in  the  following

Instructions  for  Reporting  Auto  Thefts. 

The  attention  of  contributors  is  invited  to  the  fact  that  the  term 
auto  theft  as  used  in  the  Uniform  Classification  of  Ofi'enses  includes 
all  cases  where  a  motor  vehicle  is  stolen,  or  driven  away  and  aban- 
doned, or  such  a  taldng  is  attempted.  It  does  not  include  the  taking 
of  a  vehicle  without  the  owner's  consent  by  any  one  having  lawful 
access  thereto  for  temporary  use,  when  the  car  or  vehicle  is  actually 
returned  to  the  owner  or  the  place  from  which  it  was  taken.  There 
should  be  excluded  from  this  group,  therefore,  all  those  cases  where  a 
vehicle  is  taken  by  chauffeurs,  garage  employees,  and  individuals  in 
a  similar  status  who  had  no  intention  of  stealing  the  vehicle.  There 
should  be  included,  however,  in  the  monthly  return,  all  cases  where 
vehicles  are  taken  and  later  abandoned  by  persons  not  lawfully  en- 
titled thereto.  It  is  suggested  that  officials  refer  to  the  schedules  for 
the  various  States  which  will  be  found  on  pages  217  to  456,  inclusive 
of  the  manual.  Uniform  Crime  Reporting,  should  any  question  arise 
as  to  whether  a  particular  offense  of  this  class  should  be  included  in 
the  monthly  report.

Contents  of  the  March  Bulletin. 

The  Bulletin  for  March  contains  a  tabulation  showing  the  number 
of  offenses  known  to  the  police  as  reported  to  the  Bureau  of  Investi- 
gation by  contributing  police  departments  of  the  country  for  that 
month. 

The  above  tabulation  is  designated  Table  I  and  is  limited  to  those 
figures  which  are  received  from  police  departments  in  cities,  towns^ 
and  villages,  as  distinguished  from  the  returns  submitted  by  county 
sheriffs.  State  police,  and  officers  in  a  similar  status.  These  latter 
figures  represent  the  returns  received  from  county  and  other  jurisdic- 
tions, including  the  possessions,  and  are  published  in  Table  I-A. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classifica- 
tion, occurring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become 
kno'WTi  to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of 
prosecuting  or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the 
following  group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience 
to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police: 
Felonious  homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter, 
and  (6)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated 
assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  including 
(a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over,  and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses  which  are  reported  by  the  police  departments  of  contributing 
cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 

A  table  is  also  shown  indicating  the  extent  of  the  population  area 
represented  by  contributing  cities,  exclusive  of  county  and  other 
returns.  In  addition  the  number  of  current  and  supplementary 
returns  received  by  States  during  the  current  year  are  pubhshed 
separately,  while  the  average  daily  number  of  offenses,  and  the  per 
cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  whole  number  reported,  as  reflected 
by  the  figures  received,  are  also  shown. 
Considerable  Expansion  Noted  in  March. 

During  the  current  year  1,227  cities  have  furnished  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  wdth  monthly  returns  on  offenses  known  to  the  police. 
Approxdmately  1,000  cities  have  contributed  the  figures  for  each  of 
the  three  months  of  1931,  but  the  figure  1,227  represents  the  number 
of  departments  from  which  returns  were  received  for  any  one  month. 
The  population  represented  by  these  cities  is  estimated  to  be 
47,135,301. 

For  the  month  of  March  1,140  cities  contributed  returns  reflecting 
the  number  of  offenses  known  of  the  designated  classes  which  were 
reported  to  the  police  departments  of  those  cities.     Current  returns 

(1) 


were  also  received  from  a  number  of  counties  in  various  States,  State 
police,  the  first  and  third  Divisions  of  Alaska,  the  Canal  Zone,  and 
Porto  Rico.  In  addition  to  the  above,  figures  were  received  for 
previous  months  of  1930  and  1931  from  Bao;uio  and  Manila  in  the 
Philippines,  and  from  two  counties  in  Honolulu. 

In  the  following  table  are  shown  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the 
cities  and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities  of 
more  than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns  have  been  received 
for  any  one  month  of  1931.  The  figures  are  based  on  the  1930 
census.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table  there  are  543  cities  of 
an  aggregate  population  of  2,985,403  which  also  have  contributed 
returns  during  the  current  year.  The  population  represented  by  the 
returns  from  counties  and  others  is  not  included  in  this  table.

Number  of  Contributing  Cities  Increases  Substantially. 

Returns  for  the  month  of  March  were  received  from  1,140  cities 
which  represents  an  increase  of  64  over  the  number  of  current  re- 
turns pubhshed  in  the  February  bulletin.  Among  this  number  con- 
tributing for  March  were  45  cities  from  which  returns  of  offenses 
known  to  the  police  had  not  been  received  previously.  It  is  interesting 
to  note  that  for  the  month  of  March,  1930,  returns  were  published 
for  541  cities.    The  increase  over  that  number  for  March,  1931,  is  599. 

In  the  table  which  follows  are  shown  the  number  of  returns  by 
States  received  and  published  currently  during  1931.

Monthly  Figures  Based  on  Offenses  Known. 

The  attention  of  contributing  officials  is  invited  to  the  fact  that  the 
figures  compiled,  according  to  the  Uniform  Classification  of  Ofi'enses 
are  based  upon  the  number  of  offenses  reported  to  the  respective 
police  officers  as  distinguished  from  the  number  of  arrests  made. 
For  example,  if  a  report  is  received  that  a  robbery  has  occurred  and 
two  individuals  are  taken  into  custody  and  charged  with  the  crime, 
only  one  offense  is  recorded.  Similarly,  if  a  police  department 
receives  complaints  to  the  effect  that  two  offenses  of  robbery  have 
been  committed  and  one  person  is  taken  into  custody  and  charged 
with  the  crimes,  two  cases  of  robbery  should  be  recorded  in  the 
monthly  return. 

The  above  comment  should  not  be  construed  to  mean,  however, 
that  only  those  offenses  wherein  arrests  are  made  should  be  recorded. 
If  a  report  is  received  to  the  effect  that  any  one  of  the  crimes  listed 
on  the  monthly  Return  A  has  been  committed,  it  should  be  recorded 
if  investigation  proves  that  the  report  was  not  unfounded.  In  other 
words,  it  is  immaterial  whether  an  arrest  has  been  made  when  a 
report  has  been  received  to  the  effect  that  one  of  the  ofl'enses  of  the 
designated  classes  has  been  committed.  In  each  instance  a  record 
thereof  should  be  made  on  the  monthly  return.

Contents  of  the  April  Bulletin. 

This  issue  of  the  bulletin  contains  the  usual  table  showing  the 
number  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  as  reported  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  by  contributing  police  departments  for  the  month  of 
April. 

The  above  tabulation  is  designated  Table  I  and  contains  only  those 
figures  which  are  contributed  by  police  departments  of  cities,  towns, 
and  villages,  as  distinguished  from  the  returns  submitted  by  county 
sheriffs,  State  police.  United  States  marshals  in  the  possessions,  and 
officers  in  a  similar  status.  These  latter  figures  represent  the  returns 
received  from  county  and  other  jurisdictions,  including  the  posses- 
sions, and  are  published  in  Table  I-A. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  tabulations  are  included  showing  the  sup- 
plementary^ returns  received  since  the  last  issue  of  the  bulletin.  The 
supplementary  table  is  designated  Table  II.  Table  II-A  of  the  bulle- 
tin contains  figures  which  have  been  previously  published  but  are 
corrected  or  revised  in  this  edition. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification 
occurring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known 
to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prose- 
cuting or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the  fol- 
lowing group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience 
to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police: 
Felonious  homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter, 
and  (b)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated 
assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  including  (a) 
thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (b)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 
The  figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number  of  attempted 
crimes  of  the  designated  classes  excepting  attempted  murders  classed 
as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words,,  an  attempted  burglary  or 
robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the  monthly  bulletin  in  the  same 
manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  completed. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  poKce  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 

Tables  are  also  included  to  show  the  extent  of  the  population  area 
represented  by  contributing  cities,  exclusive  of  county  and  other 
returns.  In  addition,  the  number  of  current  and  supplementary 
returns  received,  by  States,  for  1931  are  published  separately,  while 
the  average  daily  number  of  offenses  and  the  per  cent  of  each  ofl'ense 
class  to  the  whole  number  reported,  as  reflected  by  the  figures  received, 
are  also  shown.

Increase  in  New  Contributors  Continues. 

The  number  of  cities  which  have  at  any  time  during  the  year  1931 
contributed  returns  on  offenses  known  to  the  police  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  reached  1,272  in  April.  The  population  represented  by 
those  cities  is  estimated  to  be  48,440,282.  This,  of  course,  is  exclusive 
of  returns  received  from  county  and  other  jurisdictions. 

Police  departments  in  1,211  cities  throughout  the  country  forwarded 
to  the  Bureau  of  Investigation  returns  indicating  the  number  of 
offenses  of  the  designated  classes  reported  to  those  police  departments 
for  the  month  of  April.  Returns  for  that  month  were  also  received 
from  a  number  of  counties  in  various  States,  State  police  in  several 
jurisdictions,  the  First  and  Third  Divisions  of  Alaska,  Hawaii,  and 
Porto  Rico. 

In  the  following  table  are  shown  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the 
cities  and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities  of 
more  than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns  have  been  received 
for  any  one  month  of  1931.  The  figures  are  based  on  the  1930  census. 
In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table  there  are  565  cities  of  an  aggre- 
gate population  of  3,122,732  which  also  have  contributed  returns 
during  the  current  year.  The  population  represented  by  the  returns 
from  counties  and  others  is  not  included  in  this  table.

The  above  tables  does  not  include  565  cities  of  a  population  less  than  10,000  aggregating  a  total  of  3,122,732 
from  which  returns  were  received  for  1931. 


Number  of  Regular  Contributors  Shows  Notable  Increase. 

During  the  month  of  April  returns  were  received  from  1,211  cities 
which  contributed  the  figures  for  that  month.  This  number  repre- 
sents a  very  substantial  increase  over  the  number  received  for  the 
previous  month,  when  1,140  cities  contributed  current  returns.  Thus 
it  will  be  noted  that  the  reporting  area  has  increased  with  the  gradual 
expansion  which  has  marked  the  development  of  the  national  system 
of  obtaining  figures  on  offenses  known  or  reported  to  the  police  based 
on  the  Uniform  Classification  of  Offenses. 

In  the  table  which  follows  are  shown  the  number  of  returns  by 
States  received  and  published  currently  during  1931.

Murder  and  Nonnegligent  Manslaughter. 

Contributors  are  reminded  that  under  the  above  heading  all  unlaw- 
ful killings  wliich  are  not  the  result  of  negligence  should  be  recorded 
in  the  monthly  return.  The  term  '  'nonnegHgent  manslaughter' '  should 
not  be  interpreted  to  mean  manslaughter  which  is  caused  by  acci- 
dental though  nonnegligent  means,  as  the  group  includes  only  un- 
lawful killings  for  wliich  the  ojffenders  are  liable  to  prosecution. 
There  should  be  excluded  from  this  classification  in  the  monthly 
return  all  homicides  which  are  attributable  to  negligence  or  accidental 
causes.  It  will  be  seen,  therefore,  that  the  classification  murder  and 
nonnegligent  manslaughter  is  limited  to  offenses  of  murder  and  man- 
slaughter not  caused  by  negligence.

UNIFORM  CRIME  REPORTS 

J.  Edgar  Hoover,  Director,  Bureau  of  Investigation 

United  States  Department  of  Justice 

Washington,  D.  C. 

Volume  2  May,  1931  Number  5 

Contents  of  the  May  Bulletin. 

The  bulletin  for  May  contains  a  table  reflecting  the  number  of 
offenses  known  to  the  police  as  reported  to  the  Bureau  of  Investigation 
by  contributing  pohce  departments  for  that  month.  The  figures  in 
the  above-mentioned  table  are  confined  to  those  received  from  police 
departments  of  cities  and  towns,  as  distinguished  from  the  returns  sub- 
mitted by  county  sheriffs,  State  pohce,  United  States  marshals  in  the 
possessions,  and  officers  in  a  similar  status.  The  reports  from  counties 
and  other  jurisdictions  are  contained  in  a  separate  table. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  returns  for  previous  months  received  since 
the  last  issue  of  the  bulletin  are  also  published.  Corrections  and 
adjustments  in  returns  published  in  earlier  issues  of  the  bulletin,  wHl 
be  found  in  Table  II-A. 

The  term  "Oftenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification 
occurring  \\-ithin  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known 
to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prose- 
cuting or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the 
following  group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience 
to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police: 
Felonious  homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter, 
and  (6)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated 
assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  including 
(a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 
The  figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number  of  attempted 
crimes  of  the  designated  classes.  Attempted  murders,  however,  are 
reported  as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words,  an  attempted 
burglary  or  robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the  monthly  bulletin 
in  the  same  manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  completed, 

"Offenses  known  to  the  pohce"  include  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 
It  should  be  noted,  however,  that  all  cities  of  the  country  are  not 
represented,  as  wiU  be  observed  from  the  population  table  and  from 
the  tables  showing  the  number  of  current  and  supplementary  returns 
received  by  States  during  1931.  Furthermore,  Avide  divergencies 
in  the  total  number  of  particular  crimes  for  various  cities  of  approxi- 
mately the  same  population  may  in  some  cases  not  be  indicative  of  a 
variance  in  the  amount  of  crime  in  those  cities  but  may  be  charged  to 

(1) 


inadequate  record  systems,  or  a  lack  of  understanding  of  the  classifi- 
cation on  the  part  of  some  officials.  In  such  instances  caution  should 
be  exercised,  therefore,  in  arriving  at  any  conclusions  or  deductions 
from  the  figures  presented. 

The  bulletin  also  contains  tables  showing  the  extent  of  the  popula- 
tion area  represented  by  contributing  cities,  exclusive  of  county  and 
other  returns.  The  number  of  current  and  supplementary  returns 
received,  by  States,  for  1931,  are  also  shown,  and  tables  indicating 
the  average  daily  number  of  offenses  and  the  per  cent  of  each  offense 
class  to  the  whole  number  reported  are  included. 
Population  Table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  year  of  1931  have 
contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  reached  1,304  in  April.  The  population  represented  by 
these  cities  is  48,771,574.  This,  of  course,  is  exclusive  of  returns 
received  from  county  and  other  jurisdictions.  Police  departments  in 
1,197  cities  contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  for  the 
month  of  May.  Returns  were  also  received  from  a  number  of  counties 
in  the  various  States,  State  police  in  several  jurisdictions,  the  third 
division  of  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Canal  Zone,  and  Porto  Rico.  Supplemen- 
tary returns  were  forwarded  from  various  other  possessions.  In  the 
following  table  are  shown  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  cities  and 
the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities  of  more  than 
10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns  have  been  received  for  any  one 
month  of  1931.  The  figures  are  based  on  the  1930  census.  In  addi- 
tion to  those  listed  in  the  table  there  are  590  cities  of  an  aggregate 
population  of  3,282,357  which  also  contributed  returns  at  some  time 
during  the  current  year.  The  population  represented  by  the  returns 
from  counties  and  others  is  not  included  in  this  table.

Percentage  Table  of  Part  I  Offenses. 

The  per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  whole  for  1931  is  shown  by 
months  in  the  following  table.  These  figures,  however,  are  not  in- 
tended to  indicate  crime  trends  for  the  particular  period  but  merely 
reflect  the  per  cent  of  each  class  of  the  designated  crimes  to  the  whole 


group.  The  figures  are  based  on  the  total  number  of  offenses  re- 
ported by  all  contributing  cities,  exclusive  of  obviously  defective 
and  incomplete  returns.

Manslaughter  by  Negligence. 

Under  the  classification  manslaughter  by  negligence  should  be 
reported  all  unlawful  killings,  other  than  murder,  which  result  from 
culpable  negligence.  The  most  common  offenses  in  this  group  are 
manslaughters  by  vehicles.  There  may  be  instances,  however, 
resulting  in  accidental  death  which  should  not  be  recorded  as  offenses 
of  manslaughter  by  negligence.  This  group  should  include  only 
those  cases  in  which  the  circumstances  are  such  that  culpable  negli- 
gence is  so  clearly  evident  that  if  the  person  responsible  for  the 
death  were  to  be  apprehended  a  charge  of  manslaughter  would  be  filed 
against  him.  If,  however,  no  criminal  charf^.e-.  could  be  placed 
against  the  party  responsible  an  offense  of  manslaughter  by  negligence 
should  not  be  entered  on  the  monthly  report.

UNIFORM  CRIME  REPORTS 

J.  Edgar  Hoover,  Director,  Bureau  of  Investigation 

United  States  Department  of  Justice 

Washington,  D.  C. 

Volume  2  June,  1931  Number  6 

Contents  of  the  June  Bulletin. 

The  June  bulletin  contains  the  usual  tabulation  of  offenses  known 
to  the  police  in  urban  communities,  based  on  the  returns  submitted  to 
the  Bureau  of  Investigation  for  that  month.  These  figures  will  be 
found  in  Table  I  and  do  not  include  the  offenses  reported  by  county- 
sheriffs,  State  police,  and  officers  in  the  possessions,  which  are  included 
in  a  separate  table  designated  Table  II.  Corrections  and  adjustments 
in  previously  published  returns,  and  supplementary  returns  are  like- 
wise published  in  separate  tables. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification 
occurring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known 
to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prosecut- 
ing or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the  following 
group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience  to  be 
those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police :  Felonious 
homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter,  and  (6) 
manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated  assault; 
burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  including  (a)  thefts 
of  $50  and  over  and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft.  The 
figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number  of  attempted  crimes 
of  the  designated  classes.  Attempted  murders,  however,  are  reported 
as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words,  an  attempted  burglary  or 
robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the  monthly  bulletin  in  the  same 
manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  completed. 

''Ofi'enses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 

The  bulletin  also  contains  tables  showing  the  extent  of  the  popula- 
tion area  represented  by  contributing  cities,  exclusive  of  county  and 
other  returns.  The  number  of  current  and  supplementary  returns 
received,  by  States,  for  1931,  are  also  shown,  and  tables  indicating  the 
average  daily  number  of  offenses  and  the  per  cent  of  each  offense  class 
to  the  whole  number  reported  are  included. 

In  publishing  the  reports  sent  in  by  chiefs  of  police  in  different 
cities,  the  Department  of  Justice  does  not  vouch  for  their  accuracy. 
They  are  given  out  as  current  information  which  possibly  may  throw 
some  light  on  problems  of  crime  and  criminal  law  enforcement.

Population  Table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  year  of  1931  have 
contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  reached  1,315  in  June.  The  population  represented  by 
those  cities  is  48,953,414.  This,  of  course,  is  exclusive  of  returns 
received  from  county  and  other  jurisdictions.  Police  departments  in 
1,180  cities  contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  for 
the  month  of  June.  Returns  were  also  received  from  a  number  of 
counties  in  the  various  States,  State  police  in  several  jurisdictions,  the 
first  and  third  divisions  of  Alaska,  Canal  Zone,  Hawaii,  and  Porto 
Rico.  Supplementary  returns  were  forwarded  from  various  other 
possessions.  In  the  following  table  are  shown  the  number  and  per 
cent  of  the  cities  and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of 
those  cities  of  more  than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns  have 
been  received  for  any  one  month  of  1931.  The  figures  are  based  on 
the  1930  census.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table  there  are  596 
cities  of  an  aggregr.to  population  of  3,317,137  which  also  contributed 
returns  at  some  tine  during  the  current  year.  The  population  repre- 
sented by  the  reti:n:.s  fn.m  counties  and  others  is  not  included  in  this 
table.

Instructions  for  Preparing  Monthly  Returns. 

It  is  again  desired  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  the  figures  in  the 
monthly  returns  are  based  on  the  number  of  offenses  known  as  dis- 
tinguished from  the  number  of  arrests  made.  For  example,  if  a 
police  department  receives  complaints  to  the  effect  that  five  dwell- 
ings have  been  burglarized,  then  five  offenses  of  burglary — breaking 
or  entering — should  be  recorded  in  the  monthly  return,  irrespective  of 
the  fact  that  an  arrest  might  or  might  not  have  been  made  in  any 
one  of  the  five  cases.  Figures  furnished  the  Bureau  of  Investigation, 
based  on  the  number  of  arrests  made,  can  not  be  published  in  the 
monthly  bulletin.  It  is  also  suggested  that  police  officials  refer  to 
the  instructions  appearing  on  the  reverse  side  of  the  form  from 
which  it  will  be  noted  that  in  column  2  of  the  monthly  return  should 
be  entered  the  total  number  of  complaints  received  that  crimes  of 
the  designated  classes  have  been  committed.  In  column  3  should  be 
entered  the  number  of  reports  which  investigation  proves  to  be  un- 
founded. The  number  entered  in  column  3  should  be  deducted  from 
the  number  in  column  2  and  the  remainder  should  be  placed  in 
column  4.  The  total  of  each  of  the  above  columns  should  be  noted 
in  the  space  provided  on  the  return.

UNIFORM  CRIME  REPORTS 

J.  Edgar  Hoover,  Director,  Bureau  of  Investigation 

United  States  Department  of  Justice 

Washington,  D.  C. 

Volume  2  July,  1931  Number  7 

Contents  of  the  July  Bulletin. 

Tliis  issue  of  the  bulletin  contains  the  usual  table  reflecting  the 
results  of  crime  returns  submitted  for  the  month  of  July  to  the  Bureau 
of  Investigation  by  contributing  police  departments  throughout  the 
countr}".  In  addition  figures  are  included  for  July  and  months 
previous  thereto  of  the  current  year  for  counties  and  other  juris- 
dictions, including  several  of  the  possessions.  Corrections  and 
adjustments  in  previously  published  returns  are  also  shown. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification 
occurring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known 
to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prosecuting 
or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the  following 
group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience  to  be 
those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police :  Felonious 
homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter,  and  (6) 
manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated  assault; 
burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larcency — theft,  including  (a) 
thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 
The  figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number  of  attempted 
crimes  of  the  designated  classes.  Attempted  murders,  however,  are 
reported  as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words,  an  attempted 
burglary  or  robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the  monthly  bulletin 
in  the  same  manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  completed. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 

The  bulletin  also  contains  tables  showing  the  extent  of  the  popula- 
tion area  represented  by  contributing  cities,  exclusive  of  county  and 
other  returns.  The  number  of  current  and  supplementary  returns 
received,  by  States,  for  1931,  are  also  shown,  and  tables  indicating 
the  average  daily  number  of  offenses  and  the  per  cent  of  each  offense 
class  to  the  whole  number  reported  are  included. 

In  publishing  the  reports  sent  in  by  chiefs  of  police  in  different 
cities,  the  Department  of  Justice  does  not  vouch  for  their  accuracy. 
They  are  given  out  as  current  information  which  possibly  may  tln-ow 
some  light  on  problems  of  crime  and  criminal  law  enforcement.

Population  Table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  year  have  con- 
tributed returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  poHce  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  reached  1,358  in  July.  The  population  represented  by 
those  cities  is  49,342,102.  The  population  represented  by  the  returns 
received  from  county  and  other  jurisdictions  is,  of  course,  not  included 
in  the  above  figure.  Keturns  were  also  received  from  a  number  of 
counties  in  the  various  States,  State  police  in  several  jurisdictions, 
Alaska,  Panama  Canal  Zone,  and  Porto  Rico.  Supplementary  returns 
were  also  forwarded  from  various  county  sheriffs,  Alaska,  Hawaii, 
and  the  Philippines.  In  the  following  table  are  shown  the  number 
and  per  cent  of  the  cities  and  the  number  and  per  cent  -of  the  popula- 
tion of  those  cities  of  more  than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which 
returns  have  been  received  for  any  one  month  of  1931.  The  figures 
are  based  on  the  1930  census.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table 
there  are  626  cities  of  an  aggregate  population  of  3,479,466  which  also 
contributed  returns  at  some  time  during  the  current  year.  The 
population  represented  by  the  returns  from  counties  and  others  is  not 
included  in  this  table.

Attempts  To  Commit  Offenses  Should  Be  Reported. 

The  attention  of  contributors  is  invited  to  the  fact  that  the  rules 
for  compihng  crime  statistics  according  to  the  Uniform  Classification 


of  Offenses  provide  that  all  attempts  to  commit  crimes  of  the  desig- 
nated classes  shall  be  reported  in  the  monthly  return  in  the  same 
manner  as  if  the  crime  had  actually  been  committed.  For  example, 
if  an  attempt  is  made  to  commit  a  burglary  but  through  the  inter- 
vention of  the  police  or  in  some  other  manner  the  crime  is  not  actually 
committed,  a  report  thereof  should  be  made  on  the  Return  A  form. 
With  respect  to  the  reporting  of  attempted  crimes  it  should  be 
observed  that  attempts  to  commit  murder  should  be  classed  as  aggra- 
vated assaults  in  instances  where  the  victim  survives  the  attack. 
An  attempt  to  commit  larceny— theft  should  be  reported  under  the 
classification  Larceny — theft,  (b)  Under  $50  in  value.  Furthermore,, 
an  assault  with  intent  to  commit  any  of  the  designated  crimes  should 
be  reported  in  accordance  with  the  rules  for  recording  attempted 
crimes.  For  instance,  an  assault  with  intent  to  commit  robbery 
should  be  entered  on  the  monthly  report  as  one  offense  of  robbery.

UNIFORM  CRIME  REPORTS 

J.  Edgar  Hoover,  Director,  Bureau  of  Investigation 

United  States  Department  of  Justice 

Washington,  D.  C. 

Volume  2  August,  1931  Number  8 

Contents  of  the  August  Bulletin. 

The  bulletin  for  August  contains  a  table  showing  the  number  of 
offenses  known  to  the  police  for  that  month  as  submitted  to  the^ 
Bureau  of  Investigation  by  police  officials  cooperating  in  the  project 
of  compiling  national  crime  statistics.  The  figures  are  grouped  intO' 
two  tables,  namely,  Table  I,  wliich  contains  the  figures  for  urban 
police  departments,  and  Table  I-A,  which  contains  those  furnished 
by  counties,  the  possessions,  and  others.  In  addition  thereto  reports 
for  months  previous  to  August,  received  since  the  July  issue  of  the 
bulletin,  will  be  found  in  Tables  II  and  II-A.  Revised  returns, 
which  are  those  published  previously  but  in  which  some  adjustment 
has  been  made,  are  shown  in  Table  II-B. 

The  term  "offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classifica- 
tion occurring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become 
known  to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens, 
of  prosecuting  or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to 
the  followdng  group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  expe- 
rience to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the 
police:  Felonious  homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  man- 
slaughter, and  (6)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggra- 
vated assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  includ- 
ing (a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (b)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto 
theft.  The  figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number  of 
attempted  crimes  of  the  designated  classes.  Attempted  murders, 
however,  are  reported  as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words,  an 
attempted  burglary  or  robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the 
monthly  bulletin  in  the  same  manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  com- 
pleted. 

"Ofltenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 

Tables  are  published  in  the  bulletin  showing  the  extent  of  the 
population  area  and  the  number  of  current  and  supplementary 
returns  received  for  1931.  Tables  indicating  the  average  daily 
number  of  offenses  and  the  per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  whole 
number  reported  are  also  shown. 

In  publishing  the  reports  sent  in  by  chiefs  of  police  in  different 
cities,  the  Department  of  Justice  does  not  vouch  for  their  accuracy. 
They  are  given  out  as  current  information  which  possibly  may  throw 
some  light  on  problems  of  crime  and  criminal  law  enforcement.

Population  Table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  current  year 
have  contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  pohce  to  the  Bureau 
of  Investigation  reached  1,386  during  August.  The  population 
represented  by  those  cities  is  49,634,67 1 .  The  population  represented 
by  returns  received  from  county  and  other  jurisdictions  is  not  included 
in  the  above  figures.  In  the  following  table  are  shown  the  number 
and  per  cent  of  the  cities  and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  popu- 
lation of  those  cities  of  more  than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which 
returns  have  been  received  for  any  one  month  of  1931.  The  figures 
are  based  on  the  1930  census.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table 
there  are  644  cities  of  an  aggregate  population  of  3,590,543  which  also 
contributed  returns  at  some  time  during  the  current  year.  The 
data  in  the  following  table  are  based  upon  the  number  of  cities  from 
which  returns  have  been  received,  exclusive  of  county  and  other 
reports.

Larceny —  Theft. 

It  will  be  observed  from  the  monthly  Return  A  form  that  offenses 
of  Larceny — theft  are  divided  into  two  classes,  namely,  thefts  involving 
property  valued  at  $50  or  more  and  thefts  involving  property  valued 
at  less  than  $50.  Care  should  be  exercised  by  officials  submitting 
returns  to  avoid  reporting  under  the  first-named  classification  offenses 
of  grand  larceny  and  under  the  second  classification  offenses  of  petty- 
larceny,  in  States  where  the  amount  of  $50  is  not  the  sum  differenti- 
ating between  those  two  offenses.  For  example,  in  some  States  grand 
larceny  is  the  felonious  taking  and  carrying  away  anything  amounting 
to  $35  or  over  in  value.  Accordingly,  if  a  larceny  of  $45  be  reported 
to  police  departments  in  such  States  it  should  be  recorded  on  the 
monthly  return  under  the  classification  Larceny — theft  (6)  under  $50 
in  value,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  offense  may  be  termed 


grand  larceny  in  the  particular  jurisdiction.  The  determining  factor 
in  ascertaining  in  which  group  an  offense  of  larceny  should  be  recorded 
is  the  value  of  the  property  or  the  amount  involved.  It  should  also 
be  remembered  that  attempts  to  commit  larceny  should  be  reported 
under  the  classification  (b)  under  $50  in  value.

UNIFORM  CRIME  REPORTS 

J.  Edgar  Hoover,  Director,  Bureau  of  Investigation 

United  States  Department  of  Justice 

Washington,  D.  C. 

Volume  2  September,  1931  Number  9 

Contents  of  the  September  Bulletin. 

The  tables  contained  in  the  current  bulletin  reflect  the  number  of 
offenses  known  to  the  various  police  departments  as  submitted  to  the 
Bureau  of  Investigation  for  the  month  of  September.  Table  I  sets 
forth  the  oft'enses  as  reported  by  urban  police  departments,  Table  I-A 
those  furnished  by  counties,  possessions,  and  others.  Tables  II  and 
II-A  contain  the  reports  of  months  previous  to  September  submitted 
since  the  August  issue  of  the  bulletin.  Revised  returns,  which  are 
those  published  previously  but  in  which  adjustments  have  been  made, 
are  shown  in  Table  II-B. 

Tables  are  also  published  showing  the  extent  of  the  population  area 
and  the  number  of  current  and  supplementary  returns  received  for 
1931.  Other  tables  indicate  the  average  daily  number  of  oft'enses  and 
the  per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  whole  number  reported. 

The  Department  of  Justice  does  not  vouch  for  the  accuracy  of  the 
reports  sent  in  by  chiefs  of  police  in  different  cities.  They  are  given 
out  as  current  information  which  possibly  may  throw  some  light  on 
problems  of  crime  and  criminal  law  enforcement. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification 
occurring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known 
to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prose- 
cuting or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the 
follovang  group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience 
to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police: 
Felonious  homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter, 
and  (6)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated 
assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  including 
(a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 
The  figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number  of  attempted 
crimes  of  the  designated  classes.  Attempted  murders,  however,  are 
reported  as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words,  an  attempted  bur- 
glary or  robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the  monthly  bulletin  in 
the  same  manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  completed. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 
Population  Table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  year  1931 
have  contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  to  the  Bureau 

(1) 


of  Investigation  reached  1,422  in  September.  The  population  repre- 
sented by  those  cities  is  50,178,352.  This,  of  course,  is  exclusive  of 
returns  received  from  county  and  other  jurisdictions.  Returns  were 
also  received  from  a  number  of  counties  in  the  various  States,  State 
police  in  several  jurisdictions,  the  third  division  of  Alaska,  Canal  Zone, 
and  Porto  Rico.  Supplementary  returns  were  forwarded  from  various 
other  possessions.  In  the  following  table  are  shown  the  number  and 
per  cent  of  the  cities  and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population 
of  those  cities  of  more  than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns 
have  been  received  for  any  one  month  of  1931.  The  figures  are  based 
on  the  1930  census.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table  there  are 
667  cities  of  an  aggregate  population  of  3,705,940  which  also  contrib- 
uted returns  at  some  time  during  the  current  year.  _  The  population 
represented  by  the  returns  from  counties  and  others  is  not  included  in 
this  table.

Instructions  for  Reporting  Robbery,  Burglary,  and  Larceny— Theft. 

The  attention  of  contributors  is  invited  to  the  fact  that  according  to 
the  Uniform  Classification  of  Offenses  the  wrongful  taking  of  property 
or  the  attempt  at  such  a  taking  may,  as  indicated  on  the  monthly 
return  A,  fall  into  one  of  three  classes,  namely,  robbery,  burglary — 
breaking  or  entering,  or  larceny — theft.  In  reporting  such  offenses 
three  fundamental  principles  should  be  borne  in  mind : 

1.  The  distinction  between  the  offenses  of  robbery,  burglary — 
breaking  or  entering  and  larceny — theft. 

2.  No  single  offense  should  be  reported  twice  as  both  a  robbery  and 
a  larceny — theft,  or  both  a  burglary — breaking  or  entering  and  a  lar- 
ceny— theft. 

3.  The  division  of  offenses  of  larceny — theft  into  those  involving 
property  valued  at  $50  and  over  and  property  valued  at  less  than  $50 . 


The  manual,  Uniform  Crime  Reporting,  in  sections  209  to  210  and 
213  to  222,  inclusive,  contains  a  thorough  and  complete  discussion  of 
the  rules  relating  to  the  reporting  of  these  three  offenses.  The  defini- 
tions, according  to  the  Uniform  Classification  of  Offenses,  may  be 
briefly  stated  as  follows: 

A.  Robbery  is  the  taking  or  attempted  taking  of  property  from  the 
person  or  presence  of  another  through  the  use  of  threat  or  force. 

B.  Burglary — breaking  or  entering — is  the  breaking  or  entering  any 
building  or  the  attempt  to  do  so  with  the  intent  to  commit  a  felony  or 
any  larceny  therein. 

C.  Larceny — theft  is  the  felonious  stealing  or  taking,  other  than 
by  force  from  the  person,  or  the  attempt  to  do  so,  the  personal  prop- 
erty of  another  with  the  intent  to  deprive  him  of  his  ownership. 

It  should  be  observed,  therefore,  that  the  taking  of  another's  prop- 
erty under  circumstances  coming  within  the  above  definitions  will  fall 
into  one  of  these  three  classes,  and  accordingly  no  single  offense  should 
be  reported  under  two  difterent  groups.  Likewise  it  should  be  noted 
that  larceny — thefts  should  be  reported  according  to  the  amount  of 
money  or  property  stolen,  the  determining  factor  being  whether  it  be 
over  or  under  $50  in  value.

UNIFORM  CRIME  REPORTS 

J.  Edgar  Hoover,  Director,  Bureau  of  Investigation 

United  States  Department  of  Justice 

Washington,  D.  C. 

Volume  2  October,  1931  Number  10 

Contents  of  the  October  Bulletin. 

The  number  of  crimes  known  to  contributing  police  departments  as 
submitted  by  them  to  the  Bureau  of  Investigation  for  the  month  of 
October  is  set  forth  in  the  regular  tables  published  in  the  current 
bulletin.  Table  I  contains  the  number  of  offenses  as  reported  by 
urban  police  departments,  and  Table  I-A  those  furnished  by  counties'^ 
possessions,  and  others.  Reports  for  months  previous  to  October 
received  since  the  September  issue  of  the  bulletin,  and  revised  returns, 
which  are  those  already  published  but  in  which  some  adjustments  have 
been  made,  are  contained  in  Tables  II,  II-A,  and  II-B.  Other  tables 
in  the  bulletin  show  the  extent  of  the  population  area  covered  b}^  the 
the  returns,  the  number  of  current  and  supplementary  returns  re- 
ceived during  the  j^ear,  the  average  daily  number  of  offenses,  and  the 
per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  total  number  reported. 

In  addition  there  is  included  a  table  reflecting  the  number  of  police 
department  employees  as  indicated  by  returns  received  for  the  first 
nine  months  of  1931  and  the  number  of  such  employees  per  1,000 
persons  for  reporting  cities  of  50,000  or  more  in  population. 

The  Department  of  Justice  does  not  vouch  for  the  accuracy  of  the 
reports  sent  in  by  chiefs  of  police  in  different  cities.  They  are  given 
out  as  current  information,  which  possibly  may  throw  some  light  on 
problems  of  crime  and  criminal  law  enforcement. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  Classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification 
occuring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become  known 
to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of  prose- 
cuting or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to  the 
following  group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  experience 
to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police: 
Felonious  homicide,  mcluding  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter, 
and  (b)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated 
assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  including 
(a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (b)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 
The  figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number  of  attempted 
crimes  of  the  designated  classes.     Attempted  murders,  however,  are 

(1) 


reported  as  aggravated  assiilts.  In  other  words,  an  attempted  bur- 
glary or  robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the  monthly  bulletin  in 
the  same  manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  completed. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 
Population  table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  year  1931 
have  contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  to  the  Bureau 
of  Investigation  reached  1,437  in  October.  The  population  repre- 
sented by  those  cities  is  50,407,853.  This  figure,  of  course,  excludes 
the  population  represented  by  returns  received  from  county  and  other 
jurisdictions.  Returns  were  also  received  from  a  number  of  counties 
in  the  various  States,  State  police  in  several  jurisdictions,  the  third  divi- 
sion of  Alaska,  Canal  Zone,  and  Porto  Rico.  Supplementary  returns 
were  forwarded  from  various  other  possessions.  In  the  following  table 
are  shown  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  cities  and  the  number  and 
per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities  of  more  than  10,000  inhabi- 
tants from  which  returns  have  been  received  for  any  one  month  of 
1931.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table  there  are  687  cities  of 
the  smaller  population  groups  and  rural  townships  representing  an 
aggregate  total  population  for  both  groups  of  3,943,347,  which  also 
contributed  returns  at  some  time  during  the  current  year.

1,267  Cities  Contributed  Returns  for  October. 

During  the  month  of  October  there  was  an  increase  of  22  cities 
in  the  number  of  returns  received  currently.  There  were  also  sub- 
mitted for  that  month  reports  from  15  cities  which  previously  had 
not  furnished  crime  statistics  returns  to  the  Bureau  of  Investigation. 
The  number  of  reports  received  and  published  monthly  during  1931 
is  set  forth  in  the  table  which  follows.  This  tabulation  does  not 
include  supplementary  returns.

The  per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  whole  for  1931  is  shown  by 
months  in  the  following  table.  These  figures,  however,  are  not  in-

Annual  Returns. 

The  attention  of  contributors  is  invited  to  the  fact  that  the  system 
of  uniform  crime  reporting,  as  adopted  by  the  Bureau  of  Investiga- 
tion, provides  for  the  preparation  of  annual  reports  which  are  calcu- 
lated to  show  the  total  number  of  offenses  of  the  designated  classes 
for  the  year,  the  number  of  those  offenses  which  have  been  cleared 
by  arrest,  together  with  the  number  of  persons  charged  for  those 
offenses.  On  or  about  the  1st  of  January  the  necessary  forms,  wdiich 
are  designated  Return  B  and  Return  C,  will  be  forwarded  to  all 
interested  police  departments.  Officials  desiring  information  concern- 
ing the  preparation  of  the  annual  reports  should  communicate  imme- 
diately with  the  Bureau  of  Investigation.

Tabulation  of  Police  Department  Employees. 

There  is  presented  in  the  table  which  follows  a  tabulation  showing 
the  number  of  police  department  employees,  including  civilians,  for 
cities  contributing  crime  statistical  data  to  the  Bureau  of  Investiga- 
tion. 

For  comparative  purposes  the  cities  are  herewith  classified  into  three 
population  groups;  namely,  cities  over  250,000,  those  between  100,000 
and  250,000,  and  those  between  50,000  and  100,000.  The  population 
data  was  obtained  from  the  revised  1930  census.  The  number  of 
police-department  employees  shown  in  the  table  is  taken  from  the 
monthly  Return  A.  It  is  an  average  for  the  months  of  January  to 
September,  1931,  inclusive.  In  some  instances  cities  are  included 
which  have  not  provided  the  data  for  each  month  during  the  above 
period,  and  in  such  cases  the  average  number  is  taken  for  those 
months  in  which  the  figures  are  available.  Police  departments  from 
which  it  was  impossible  to  obtain  the  data  for  a  period  of  more  than 
three  months,  however,  are  excluded.  Data  furnished  by  cities  reg- 
ularly which  was  obviously  inaccurate  or  incomplete  has  been  dis- 
regarded. 


41 

In  an  earlv  issue  of  the  Bulletin  the  same  data  for  cities  between 
10,000  and  50,000  will  be  presented.

UNIFORM  CRIME  REPORTS

United  States  Department  of  Justice 

Washington,  D.  C. 

Volume  2  November,  1931  Number  11 


Contents  of  the  November  Bulletin. 

The  extent  of  criine,  as  reflected  by  the  reports  from  poHce  depart- 
ments of  cities  and  counties  cooperating  with  the  Bureau  of  Investi- 
gation in  gathering  crime  statistics,  is  indicated,  for  jurisdictions 
reporting,  in  the  regular  tables  published  in  the  current  bulletin. 

The  number  of  offenses  reported  by  urban  police  departments  is  set 
forth  in  Table  I,  while  Table  I-A  contains  the  number  of  crimes 
reported  by  counties,  United  States  possessions,  and  others.  Revised 
reports,  which  are  those  previously  published  but  in  which  some 
adjustments  have  been  made,  and  reports  for  months  previous  to 
November,  received  since  the  October  issue  of  the  bulletin,  are  con- 
tained in  Tables  II,  II-A,  and  II-B. 

The  remaining  tables  of  the  bulletin  show  the  extent  of  the  popu- 
lation area  covered  by  the  statistics  in  the  above  tables,  the  total 
number  of  current  and  supplementary  reports  that  have  been  received 
from  police  departments  during  the  year,  the  average  number  of  crimes 
per  day,  and  the  per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  total  number 
reported. 

In  publishing  the  reports  sent  in  by  chiefs  of  police  in  different 
cities,  the  Department  of  Justice  does  not  vouch  for  their  accuracy. 
They  are  given  out  as  current  information  which  possibly  may  throw 
some  light  on  problems  of  crime  and  criminal  law  enforcement. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  Classes  of  the  Uniform  Classifi- 
cation occurring  wdthin  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become 
known  to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of 
prosecuting  or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to 
the  following  group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by  expe- 
rience to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to  the  police : 
Felonious  homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent  manslaughter, 
and  (6)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery;  aggravated 
assault;  burglaiy — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft,  including 
(a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (6)  thefts  of  under  $50;  and  auto  theft. 
The  figures  contained  herein  include  a] so  the  number  of  attempted 
crimes  of  the  designated  classes.  Attempted  murders,  however,  are 
reported  as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words,  an  attempted 
burglary  or  robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the  monthly  bulletin 
in  the  same  manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been  completed. 

(1) 


"Offenses  known  to  the  police"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attemjjts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 
Population  Table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  year  1931  have 
contributed  returns  of  offenses  known  to  the  police  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  reached  1,485  in  November.  These  cities  represent  a 
population  of  50,891,147.  This  figure,  of  course,  excludes  the  popula- 
tion represented  by  returns  received  from  county  and  other  juris- 
dictions. Returns  were  also  received  from  a  number  of  counties  in 
the  various  States,  State  police  in  several  jurisdictions,  the  third  and 
fourth  divisions  of  Alaska,  Canal  Zone,  and  Porto  Rico.  Supple- 
mentary returns  were  forwarded  from  various  other  possessions.  In 
the  following  table  are  shown  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  cities 
and  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities  of  more 
than  10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns  have  been  received  for 
any  one  month  of  1931.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table  there 
are  725  cities  of  the  smaller  population  groups  and  rural  town- 
ships representing  an  aggregate  total  population  for  both  groups  of 
4,185,034,  which  also  contributed  returns  at  some  time  during  the 
current  year.

The  above  table  does  not  include  725  cities  and  rural  townships,  aggrecating  a  total  population  of 
4,185,034.  The  cities  included  in  this  figure  are  those  of  less  than  10,000  population  filing  returns,  whereas 
the  rural  townships  are  of  varying  population  groups. 

Large  Increase  in  Number  of  Reports  Received  for  November. 

The  number  of  reports  received  for  the  month  of  November 
showed  an  increase  of  66  over  the  number  of  returns  received  in  any 
previous  month.  Forty-eight  of  these  reports  were  from  cities  which 
previously  had  never  contributed  crime  statistics  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  making  a  total  of  1,333  cities  from  which  current  returns 
were  received  for  that  month.  In  the  following  table  there  is  set 
forth  a  comparison  by  States  of  the  total  number  of  returns  received 
for  the  months  of  the  current  year.  Supplementary  returns  are  ex- 
cluded from  this  tabulation.

Annual  Return  Forms. 

During  the  first  week  in  January  forms  will  be  distributed  for  the 
purpose  of  obtaining  statistics  on  the  number  of  offenses  reported  to 
the  pohce  and  the  number  of  persons  charged,  on  an  annual  basis 
for  the  year  1931.  These  forms  are  designated  B  and  C,  and  instruc- 
tions will  be  given  for  tabulating  the  data  requested.  The  informa- 
tion should  be  mailed  to  the  Bureau  of  Investigation  on  or  before  the 
first  of  February,  1932,  if  possible. 

The  data  in  Return  B  is  confined  to  the  Part  I  Classes  which 
consist  of  major  offenses  most  generally  reported  to  the  police. 
Return  C,  however,  includes,  in  addition  to  the  Part  I  Classes,  the 
Part  II  Classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification  of  Oft'enses  in  which  are 
included  misdemeanors  and  some  felonies  which  are  generally  not 
quite  as  prevalent  as  those  in  the  Part  I  Classes.

Special  Announcement. 

At  the  suggestion  of  Dr.  L.  C.  Marshall,  of  the  Instituteof  Lawof  The 
Johns  Hopkins  University,  a  conference  was  held  December  28  in  the 
offices  of  the  United  States  Bureau  of  Investigation  for  the  purpose  of 
considering  the  possibility  of  securing  a  uniform  classification  of  crimes 
for  use  in  penal,  judicial,  and  police  statistics.  At  the  present  time  the 
United  States  Bureau  of  Investigation  of  the  Department  of  Justice 
is  developing  a  system  of  crime  statistics  based  on  offenses  known  to 
the  police,  while  the  Bureau  of  the  Census  in  the  Department  of 
Commerce  has  for  years  compiled  criminal  statistics  on  a  national 
scale  concerning  inmates  of  State  and  Federal  institutions.  The 
classifications  used  by  the  two  bureaus,  although  not  exactly  similar, 
have  substantially  the  same  group  headings.  The  purpose  of  the 
conference  was  to  determine  whether  some  action  might  be  taken  with 
a  view  to  developing  a  classification  common  to  both  fields  of  statistics 
which  at  the  same  time  could  be  utilized  in  compiling  judicial  statistics. 
The  following  were  in  attendance  in  addition  to  representatives  of  the 
United  States  Bureau  of  Investigation:  L.  C.  Marshall;  Leonard  V. 
Harrison;  Thorsten  Sellin,  representing  the  Bureau  of  the  Census; 
Bennet  Mead;  William  P.  Rutledge;  Lawrence  B.  Dunham;  W.  C. 
Jamison;  Miss  Harriet  Cheney;  A.  H.  MacCormick;  E.  H.  Sutherland; 
Bruce  Smith;  and  Charles  E.  Gehlke. 

It  was  agreed  hj  the  conference  that  it  would  be  highly  desirable 
to  have  a  uniform  offense  classification  which  may  be  utilized  in 
police,  judicial,  and  penal  statistics  although  there  are  many  diffi- 
culties to  be  encountered  in  providing  such  a  classification.  The 
conference  felt,  nevertheless,  that  to  obtain  a  comparable  offense 
classification  some  progressive  action  should  be  taken  as  soon  as 
possible,  and  accordingly  a  committee  was  appointed  to  consider  the 
details  of  the  problem  and  to  submit  its  findings  to  the  conference  at  a 
later  date.  This  committee  is  composed  of  Dr.  L.  C.  Marshall,  of  the 
Institute  of  Law  of  The  Johns  Hopkins  University;  Mr.  Bruce  Smith, 
of  the  Institute  of  Public  Administration;  Dr.  Thorsten  Sellin,  of  the 
Bureau  of  Social  Hygiene,  representing  the  Bureau  of  the  Census; 
and  Mr.  James  J.  Waters,  of  the  United  States  Bureau  of  Investigation.

Contents  of  the  December  Bulletin. 

This  issue  of  the  bulletin  contains  the  usual  tables  of  offenses 
known  to  the  police  as  tabulated  from  the  reports  furnished  the 
United  States  Bureau  of  Investigation  by  contributing  police  officers. 
These  consist  of  Table  I,  or  the  number  of  offenses  reported  by 
urban  police  departments,  Table  I-A,  the  number  of  crimes  reported 
by  counties,  United  States  possessions,  and  others,  Tables  II  and 
II-A,  which  include  the  supplementary  returns  from  urban  police 
departments,  counties  and  others,  and  Table  II-B,  in  which  will 
be  found  returns  previously  published  which  are  revised  in  the 
current  issue.  In  addition  thereto  a  tabulation  is  included  showing 
the  total  number  of  offenses  for  the  calendar  year  of  1931  as  reported 
by  cities  having  a  population  of  100,000  or  more  from  which  reports 
were  received  for  the  entire  12  months  of  that  year.  The  bulletin 
also  contains  a  tabulation  showing  the  number  of  police  department 
employees  in  cities  of  two  population  groups,  namely,  those  of  10,000 
to  25,000  and  those  of  25,000  to  50,000. 

The  remaining  tables  of  the  bulletin  show  the  extent  of  the  popu- 
lation area  covered  by  the  statistics  in  the  above  tables,  the  total 
number  of  current  and  supplementary  reports  that  have  been  received 
from  police  departments  during  the  year,  the  average  daily  number  of 
offenses  for  cities  which  have  submitted  returns  for  both  November 
and  December,  and  the  per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  total 
number  reported. 

In  publishing  the  reports  sent  in  by  chiefs  of  police  in  different 
cities,  the  Department  of  Justice  does  not  vouch  for  their  accuracy. 
They  are  given  out  as  current  information  which  possibly  may 
throw  some  light  on  problems  of  crime  and  criminal  law  enforcement. 

The  term  "Offenses  known  to  the  police"  is  designed  to  include 
those  crimes  designated  as  Part  I  Classes  of  the  Uniform  Classifica- 
tion occurring  within  the  police  jurisdiction,  whether  they  become 
known  to  the  police  through  reports  of  police  officers,  of  citizens,  of 
prosecuting  or  court  officials,  or  otherwise.  They  are  confined  to 
the  following  group  of  seven  classes  of  grave  offenses,  shown  by 
experience  to  be  those  most  generally  and  completely  reported  to 
the  police:  Felonious  homicide,  including  (a)  murder,  nonnegligent 
manslaughter,  and  (6)  manslaughter  by  negligence;  rape;  robbery; 
aggravated  assault;  burglary — breaking  or  entering;  larceny — theft, 
including  (a)  thefts  of  $50  and  over  and  (b)  thefts  of  under  $50; 
and  auto  theft.  The  figures  contained  herein  include  also  the  number 
of  attempted  crimes  of  the  designated  classes.  Attempted  mur- 
ders, however,  are  reported  as  aggravated  assaults.  In  other  words, 
an  attempted  burglary  or  robbery,  for  example,  is  reported  in  the 
monthly  bulletin  in  the  same  manner  as  if  the  crime  had  been 
completed. 

"Offenses  known  to  the  poHce"  include,  therefore,  all  of  the  above 
offenses,  including  attempts,  which  are  reported  by  the  police  depart- 
ments of  contributing  cities,  and  not  merely  arrests  or  cleared  cases. 
Population  Table. 

The  number  of  cities  which  at  any  time  during  the  year  1931  have 
contributed  returns  of  offenses  loiown  to  the  police  to  the  Bureau  of 
Investigation  reached  1,511  in  December.  These  cities  represent  a 
population  of  51,145,734.     This  figure,  of  course,  excludes  the  popu- 


lation  represented  by  returns  received  from  county  and  other  juris- 
dictions. Returns  were  also  received  from  a  number  of  counties  in 
the  various  States,  State  police  in  several  jurisdictions,  the  third 
division  of  Alaska,  Canal  Zone,  and  Porto  Rico.  Supplementary 
returns  were  forwarded  from  various  other  possessions.  In  the  follow- 
ing table  are  shown  the  number  and  per  cent  of  the  cities  and  the 
number  and  per  cent  of  the  population  of  those  cities  of  more  than 
10,000  inhabitants  from  which  returns  have  been  received  for  any 
one  month  of  1931.  In  addition  to  those  listed  in  the  table  there  are 
741  cities  of  the  smaller  population  groups  and  rural  townships  repre- 
senting an  aggregate  total  population  for  both  groups  of  4,262,409, 
which  also  contributed  returns  at  some  time  during  the  current  year.

The  above  table  does  not  include  741  cities  and  rural  townships,  aggregating  a  total  population  of  4,262,409. 
The  cities  included  in  this  figure  are  those  of  less  than  10,000  population  filing  returns,  whereas  the  rural 
townships  are  of  varying  population  groups. 

Steady  Expansion  in  Reporting  Area  Continues. 

It  will  be  noted  from  the  chart  which  follows  that  there  was  a 
steady  growth  in  the  extension  of  the  reporting  area  during  1931. 
In  January  of  that  year  there  were  approximately  1,050  cities,  rep- 
resenting a  population  of  more  than  45,000,000  people,  which  sub- 
mitted returns.  At  the  end  of  the  year,  however,  this  number  had 
increased  to  1,511  cities,  representing  a  total  population  in  excess 
of  51,000,000,  from  w^hich  returns  were  received  at  any  time  during 
1931.  County  and  other  jurisdictions  submitting  reports  are,  of 
course,  excluded  from  the  above  compilation.

Continued  Increase  in  Number  of  Reports  Received. 

The  number  of  reports  received  by  the  Bureau  of  Investigation 
for  the  month  of  December  from  urban  police  departments  was  1,352, 
an  increase  of  19  over  the  total  number  received  at  the  time  of  going 
to  press  for  the  November  Bulletin.  Twenty-six  of  these  reports 
were  from  cities  which  had  not  previously  contributed  crime  statis- 
tics to  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Investigation.  In  the  following  table 
there  is  set  forth  a  comparison  by  States  of  the  total  number  of 
returns  received  currently  by  months  during  1931.  Supplementary 
returns  are  excluded  from  this  tabulation.

Percentage  Table  of  Part  I  Offenses. 

The  per  cent  of  each  offense  class  to  the  whole  for  1931  is  shown  by 
months  in  the  following  table.  These  figures,  however,  are  not  in- 
tended to  indicate  crime  trends  for  the  particular  period  but  merely 
reflect  the  per  cent  of  each  class  of  the  designated  crimes  to  the  whole 
group  for  the  various  months.  The  figures  are  based  on  the  total 
number  of  offenses  reported  by  all  contributing  cities,  exclusive  of 
obviously  defective  and  incomplete  returns.

Annual  Return  Forms. 

There  have  been  distributed  to  interested  police  officials  the  nec- 
essary forms  for  supplying  information  concerning  the  number  of 
offenses  reported  to  the  police  and  the  number  of  persons  charged 
during  the  calendar  year  of  1931.  These  forms  are  designated  Return 
B  and  Return  C.  Return  B  provides  for  recording  the  total  number 
of  offenses  known,  the  number  of  those  which  are  unfounded,  those 
cleared  by  arrest,  and  those  not  cleared  by  arrest  for  1931.  In  addi- 
tion thereto  the  number  of  offenses  which  were  reported  not  cleared  in 
previous  years,  but  which  were  cleared  in  1931,  should  be  reported.  An 
offense  is  cleared  by  arrest  when  one  or  more  persons  are  charged  and 
prosecuted  for  it,  whether  following  an  arrest,  court  summons,  or 
police  notice. 

On  Return  C  should  be  recorded  the  number  of  persons  released  by 
the  police;  that  is,  those  persons  who  are  taken  into  custody  but  are 
later  released,  there  being  no  formal  charge  placed  against  them,  and 
the  number  of  persons  charged  by  the  police.  The  term  "persons 
charged,"  according  to  the  Uniform  Classification  of  Offenses,  includes 
all  persons  within  the  police  jurisdiction  against  whom  criminal 
charges  are  brought.  These  charges  may  be  made  after  arrest,  sum- 
mons, or  notice.  It  should  be  noted  that  both  the  Part  I  and  the 
Part  II  Classes  of  the  Uniform  Classification  of  Offenses  are  used  in 
Return  C. 

Tabulation  of  Police  Department  Employees. 

In  the  table  which  follows  there  is  completed  the  tabulation  showing 
the  number  of  police  department  employees,  including  civilians,  of 
cities  contributing  crime  statistical  data  to  the  United  States  Bureau 
of  Investigation.  The  first  section  of  this  table  included  three  popula- 
tion groups,  namely:  Cities  over  250,000,  those  between  100,000  and 
250,000,  and  those  between  50,000  and  100,000.     This  tabulation 


was  published  in  the  October  bulletin.  The  concluding  section, 
published  in  the  current  bulletin,  includes  the  two  population  groups 
of  cities  between  25,000  and  50,000  and  those  between  10,000  and 
25,000. 

There  is  also  included  a  supplement  to  the  figures  for  the  first  three 
population  groups  which  includes  tw^o  cities  that  did  not  have  complete 
data  at  the  time  of  the  previous  publication. 

As  was  indicated  previously,  the  sources  of  the  data  are  as  follows : 
Population  figures  were  obtained  from  the  revised  1930  census.  The 
number  of  police  department  employees  shown  in  the  table  is  taken 
from  the  monthly  Return  A  and  is  an  average  for  the  months  from 
January  to  September,  1931,  inclusive.  Cities  from  which  it  was 
impossible  to  obtain  the  data  for  a  period  of  more  than  three  months 
are  excluded.  Data  furnished  by  cities  regularly  which  appeared 
obviously  inaccurate  or  doubtful  has  been  disregarded. 

Table  A-1  is  a  summar}^  indicating  the  average  number  of  police- 
men per  1,000  population  for  each  of  the  five  population  groups 
covered  b}-  the  completed  tabulation.
