Preface

Crime statistics are essential not only to law enforcement agencies, but to
all elements of the Criminal Justice System. Legislators and other government
officials also need such information to fulfill their responsibilities concerning
crime. This is true at all levels of government — local, State, and Federal.

Law enforcement administrators need to know the volume, extent, trend,
and nature of the crime problem, in addition to the basic characteristics of
known offenders. This information is necessary if intelligent planning is to
occur and realistic programs developed to effectively deal with crime matters.
Law enforcement agencies also need this information for use in advising their
communities of current conditions. The effective processing of offenders by
courts and correctional institutions is materially aided through the use of such
data.

Crime statistics provide administrators, educators, and researchers in the
public and private sectors of our society with required data to study, evaluate,
and where necessary, modify existing social programs in addition to instituting
new programs.

Uniform Crime Reports is a law enforcement program that provides this
country's onljr nationwide view of crime. This program presents a practical
measure of the Nation's most common local crime problems. Since 1930, when
this program was instituted, law enforcement agencies have voluntarily provided
the basic information from which these statistics are derived.

In recent years the FBI has actively encouraged the development and
implementation of mandatory State Uniform Crime Reporting Programs. As
of this time, 13 States have initiated central collection systems for criminal
statistics and numerous other States are working with the FBI in planning and
developing such systems. Each program is developed in conformance with
national Uniform Crime Reporting standards which assures the crime infor-
mation is submitted in accordance with standard crime definitions.

Under the state program concept each state must have an adequate
field staff to assist law enforcement agencies in connection with proper records
management and crime reporting practices. In addition, each State must
develop acceptable quality control procedures which should include periodic
audits of the source agencies to insure reliability of the data base. The Law
Enforcement Assistance Administration under the provisions of the Omnibus
Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 offers financial assistance to states
in connection with the development and implementation of such systems.
It is strongly urged that all States join in the establishing of mandatory State
systems which will improve the overall quality and amount of information
available for use by those concerned with the administration of criminal
justice.

Acting Director.

Crime Factors

Uniform Crime Reports give a nationwide view of crime based on police
statistics made possible by the voluntary cooperation of local law enforcement
agencies. Since the factors which cause crime are many and vary from place to
place, readers are cautioned against drawing conclusions from direct com-
parisons of crime figures between individual communities without first consider-
ing the factors involved. The national material summarized in this publica-
tion should be used, however, as a starting point to determine deviations of
individual cities from the national averages.

Crime is a social problem antl tlie concern of the entire community. The
law enforcement effort is limited to factors within its control. Some of the
conditions which will affect the amount and type of crime that occurs from
place to place are briefly outlined below:

Density and size of the community population and the metropolitan area
of which it is a part.

Composition of the population with reference particularly to age, sex and
race.

Economic status and mores of the population.

Relative stability of population, including commuters, seasonal, and
other transient types.

Climate, including seasonal weather conditions.

Educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.

Effective strength of the police force.

Standards governing appointments to the police force.

Policies of the prosecuting officials and the courts.

Attitude of the public toward law enforcement problems.

The administrative and investigative efficiency of the local law enforcement
agency, including the degree of adherence to crime reporting standards.

Summary

This section is for readers who are interested in the general crime picture jor
the United States. The volume, trend and rate oj crime related to current population
are discussed in context with the Crime Index ojfenses — murder and nonnegligent
manslaughter , forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny $50 and
over in value and auto theft. In addition, Crime Index ojfenses are treated indi-
vidually to better delineate the nature of these criminal acts. Arrests, persons charged,
clearances of crime, police emjAoyce data, police killed, and police assaults are
discussed. Statistical data concerning the criminal recidivism of persons who have
at least on one occasion during their criminal career become involved in the com-
mission of a federal offense are also examined. In subsequent sections technical
data of interest primarily to police, social scientists and other students are presented.
If you desire assistance in the interpretation of any information in this publication,

CRIME INDEX TOTALS

The Uniform Crime Reporting Program utilizes
seven crime classifications to establish an index to
measure the trend and distribution of crime in the
United States. These crimes — murder, forcible
rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, lar-
ceny $50 and over in value, and auto theft — are
counted by law enforcement agencies as the crimes
become known to them. These crimes were selected
for use in the Crime Index because, as a group,
they represent the most common local crime
problem. They are all serious crimes, either by
their very nature or due to the volume in which
they occur. Offenses of murder, forcible rape,
robbery, and aggravated assault are categorized as
violent crimes. Offenses of burglary, larceny $50
and over in value, and auto theft are classed as
crimes against property.

It is believed desirable to point out that there
is no way of determining the total number of
crimes which are committed. Many criminal acts
occur which are not reported to official sources.
Estimates as to the level of unreported crime can be
developed through costly victim interview survej's,
but this, or course, does not remedy the reluctance
of victims and/or other members of society to re-
port all crimes to law enforcement agencies.

In light of this situation, the best source for
obtaining a count of crime is the next logical
universe, namely, crimes which come to police
attention. The crimes used in the Crime Index are
those considered to be most consistently reported
to police and the computations of crime trends and
crime rates are prepared using this universe —
offenses known to police.

The crime counts set forth in this publication
are actual offenses established by police investiga-
tion. When police receive a complaint of crime and
the follow-up investigation discloses no crime
occurred it is "unfounded." On a national average,
police investigations "unfound" 4 percent of the
citizen complaints concerning Crime Index of-
fenses ranging from 3 percent in the larceny
classification to 18 percent in forcible rape
complaints. Unfounded complaints are eliminated
from these crime counts.

In calendar year 1971 an estimated 5,995,200
Index offenses were reported to law enforcement
agencies, a 7 percent increase over 1970. The vio-
lent crimes as a grouj) made up 14 percent of the
Crime Index total and rose 11 percent, with

murder, forcible rape, and robberj' each up 11
percent and aggravated assault up 10 percent.
Each of the voluminous property' crimes recorded
an increase, which contributed to the 7 i)ercent
rise in this group of offenses representing 86 percent
of the Crime Index total. Individually, burglary
was up 9 percent, larceny $50 and over in value
increased 7 percent, and auto theft was uj) 2 per-
cent. Since 1966, the violent crimes as a group have
increased 90 percent, property crimes 82 percent,
and the combined Crime Index 83 percent in
volume.

As in ])rior j'ears, the suburban areas continued
to show an above average rise in the volume of
crime with an 11 percent increase over 1970. The
large core cities having populations in excess of
250,000 were up 2 percent in volume and the rural
areas registered a 6 percent upswing. The largest
American cities over one million population regis-
tered an average increase of 3 percent. It should
be noted that while the suburban areas continue to
record sharp percentage ujiswings in the volume of
crime, a much higher level of crime occiu-s in the
large cities.

Crime increases were noted in each crime classifi-
cation and each geographic region in 1971 with the
Northeastern and Western States each up 9 per-
cent and the Southern and North Central States
each up 6 percent.

Estimated 1971 crime figures for the United
States are set forth in the following table.

CRIME AND POPULATION

Crime rates relate the incidence of crime to
population. A crime rate should be considered a
victim risk rate in that it demonstrates the risk of
becoming a victim of crime.

The Crime Index rate for the United States in
1971 was 2,907 per 100,000 inhabitants. This was
a 6 percent increase in the victim rate over 1970. The
national crime rate, or the risk of being a victim
of one of these crimes, has increased 74 percent
since 1966. Many factors influence the nature and
extent of crime in a particular community. A
number of these factors are shown on page vii of
this publication. A crime rate takes into considera-
tion only the numerical factor of population and
does not incorporate any of the other elements
which contribute to the amount of crime in a given
area. The statistical tables in this publication
disclose that the varying crime experiences.

especially in large cities and suburban communities,
are affected bj' a complex set of involved factors
and are not solely related to numerical population
differences. The text tables set forth on these pages
reveal the variations in crime experience by
geogra])hic region and particularly' large core cities
as contrasted with the suburban and rural areas.

The above table discloses each crime categorj'
recorded a rate increase ranging from less than one
percent in auto theft to 10 percent in forcible rape
offenses. The number of crimes per unit of popula-
tion is, as expected, highest in the large metro-
politan centers and in those areas where the
l)opulation is rapidly increasing.

The accompanying charts illustrate the trend of
crime in the United States for 1966 through 1971

MURDER AND NONNEGLIGENT
MANSLAUGHTER

This Crime Index offense includes all willful
killings without due process and is scored on the
basis of police investigation as opposed to any
decision of a court, coroner, jury, or other judicial
body. Deaths caused by negligence are not in-
cluded in this category but are counted as man-
slaughter by negligence. Attempts to kill or
assaults to kill are scored as aggravated assaults
and not as murder. The crime count for this offense
classification also excludes suicides, accidental
deaths, and justifiable homicides.

Volume

In 1971, there were an estimated 17,630 murders
committed in the United States. This represents
a numerical increase of 1,770 over the 15,860
homicides recorded in 1970. This crime makes uj)
slightly more than 2 percent of the crimes of vio-
lence and represents less than one-half of one per-
cent of all Crime Index offenses.

The frequency of murder in 1971 was highest
in December. In a breakdown by region, 44 per-
cent of the murders in 1971 occurred in the
Southern States followed bj" the North Central
States with 23 percent, Northeastern States with
19 percent, and the Western States with 14 per-
cent of the total.

Trend

Murder increased 11 percent in 1971 over 1970.
The trend in this serious crime reveals a numerical
increase from 10,950 in 1966 to 17,630 murders in
1971. This is a rise of 61 percent. (Chart 4.)

Regionally, murder offenses increased 18 per-
cent in the Northeastern States, 6 percent in the
North Central States, 11 percent in the South-
ern States, and 12 percent in the Western States.
Large core cities with 250,000 or more inhabitants
had a 10 percent rise in the number of murders in
1971, while the suburban areas experienced a 6
percent increase in the number of murder offenses.
Murder offenses in the rural areas were up 2
percent.

Murder Rate

There were 8.5 victims per 100,000 inhabitants
in 1971. This is a rise from the 7.8 murder rate
recorded in 1970 of 9 percent. Nationwide, cities
with 250,000 or over in population reported a
murder rate of 19 victims per 100,000 inhabitants,
up 10 percent over 1970. In the suburbs the
murder rate was 4.2 while the rate in the rural
areas was 6.9 per 100,000 inhabitants.

As in past years, the number of murder
victims in proportion to population was highest
in the Southern States where the rate of 12.2 was
a 9 percent increase compared to the rate m 1970.
In the Western States a rate of 7.0 was 9 percent
above the prior year and the North Central
States rate of 6.9 was up 5 percent. The North-
eastern States had a rate of 6.8 which was 17
percent higher than the 1970 rate.

Nature of Murder

Law enforcement agencies provide, m addition
to the number of murder offenses, certain details
on each of these offenses for the purpose of
presenting further analysis concerning this offense.

This is accomplished through the use of a supple-
mental report which contains data on the age, sex,
and race of the victims; the weapon used to commit
the offenses; and the circumstances or motives
which led to the crime.

Males outnumbered females as victims of
murder by almost 4 to 1 in 1971, which is similar
to the experience in 1970. Nationwide, the ratio
of arrests for murder was more than five males to
each female. Forty-four of every 100 victims were
white and 55 were Negro. The remaining one
percent was distributed among all other races.
It was determined that six out of every ten murder
victims were between 20 and 45 years of age, with
the largest number, 3 of every 10, in the 20 to 29
age group.

Firearms continued to be the predominant
weapon used in murder, as illustrated in the ac-
companying chart. For the year 1971, as in the
previous three years, 65 percent of the homicide
victims were killed thi-ough the use of a firearm.
As in prior years handguns were again the leading
type of firearm used, with 51 percent of the

murders resulting from the use of handguns, 8
percent from the use of shotguns, and 6 percent
of the murder victims ched from rifle wounds.
Cutting or stabbing weapons were used in 20
percent of the murder offenses, other weapons
(blunt objects such as hammers and clubs, poison,
arson, explosives, drowning, etc.) in 6 percent,
and in the remaining 9 percent of the mm-ders,
personal weapons such as hands, fists, and feet
were utilized.

An analysis of types of murder weapons by
region shows that in 1971 the Southern States led
in homicide by use of firearms with seven of every
ten victims succumbing from gunshot wounds.
Knives or other cutting instruments were used
most frequently as murder weapons in the North-
eastern States where tliree out of every ten homi-
cide victims died of cut or stab wounds. The use
of personal weapons resulting in death by strangu-
lation and internal injuries was liighest in the
Western States and lowest in the Southern States.
Since 1966, murder through the use of a firearm
has increased 75 percent while use of a cutting or
stabbing instrument has increased 39 percent.

As it has been pointed out in prior issues of this
publication, police are powerless to prevent a large
number of these crimes, which is made readily
apparent from the circumstances or motives which
surround criminal homicide. The significant fact

emerges that most murders are committed by
relatives of the victim or persons acquainted with
the victim. It follows, therefore, that criminal
homicide is, to a major extent, a national social
problem beyond police pi'evention. In 1971, killings
within the family made up about one-fourth of all
murders. Over one-half of these involved spouse
killing spouse and the remainder involved other
family killings such as parents killing children and
other in-family relationship type murders. In this
Program, felony murder is defined as those killings
resulting from robberies, sex motives, gangland
slayings, and other felonious activities. These
known and suspected felonious killings comprise 28
percent of the total murder offenses in 1971.
Felonious murders made up 27 percent of all mur-
ders in 1969 and 29 percent in 1970. The following
table demonstrates by geographic region the per-
centage of murder by type or circumstance in 1971.

During 1971, 6 percent of the murders were the
result of romantic triangles or lovers' quarrels.
More than four of every ten were the direct result
of arguments outside the family unit and not in-
volving the romantic triangle situations. It is
known the persons participating in these argu-
ments were most frequently acquainted prior to
the fatal act.

In situations involving husband and wife, the
wife was the victim in 52 percent of the cases and
the husband in 48 percent. In these incidents, 46
percent of the victims were white, 52 percent were
Negro, and the remaining victims were other races.

In lovers' quarrels, the females were the victims
in 58 percent of the murders, but when a tliird
party entered the scene to complete a romantic
triangle, a male was the victim in 92 percent of the
confrontations.

The victims of felony-type murders were 62
percent white, 37 percent Negro, and one percent
other race or race was not stated.

Clearances

Nationally, police continue to be successful in
clearing or solving by arrest a higher percentage of
the murder cases than any other Crime Index
offense. In 1971, 84 percent of the criminal
homicides were solved. Persons imder 18 years of
age were involved in 5 percent of the willful
killings solved by the police.

Persons Arrested

Based on reports submitted by law enforcement
agencies, 10 percent of all persons arrested for
mm-der were under 18 years of age, and 44 percent
were under 25. During the period 1966-1971 there
was an 87 percent increase in the number of
persons under 18 years of age arrested for murder.
The increase in adult arrests for murder offenses
during this period was 68 percent. Numerically,
the 20 to 24 year age group had the heaviest
involvement during 1971 with 24 percent of the
total arrests coming from within this age group.
Negroes made up 62 percent of the arrests for
murder in 1971 and 55 percent of the victims of
homicide were also Negroes. There was a 16 per-
cent increase in the number of arrests of females
for murder in 1971.

Persons Charged

Law enforcement agencies' reports disclose that
57 percent of all adults arrested for murder in
1971 were prosecuted during the year. Forty-four
percent of the adults prosecuted were found
guilty as charged, and 23 percent were convicted
on some lesser charge. The remaining 33 percent
won release by acquittal or dismissal of the
charges against them. Of all individuals pro-
cessed for murder, 13 percent were juveniles who
had their cases referred to juvenile court jurisdic-
tion.

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT

Aggravated assault is defined as an unlawful
attack by one person upon another for the purpose
of inflicting severe bodily injury usually accom-
panied by the use of a weapon or other means
likely to produce death or serious bodily harm.
Attempts are included since it is not necessary
that an injury result when a gun, knife, or other
weapon is used which could and probably would
result in serious personal injury if the crime
were successfully completed.

Volume

In calendar year 1971, there was an estimated
total of 364,600 aggravated assaults. This is an
increase of 33,400 offenses over the previous year.
This violent crime against the person made up
over 6 percent of the Crime Index offenses in 1971
and comprised 45 percent of the crimes of vio-
lence. Regionally, the Southern States recorded
39 percent of the total count of these crimes fol-
lowed by the North Central States 21 percent,
while the Northeastern and Western States each
accounted for 20 percent. As has been the ex-
perience in prior years, the warm summer months
recorded the high frequencies during 1971; how-
ever, the number of these offenses during the
month of October was higher than the monthly
average.

Trend

In 1971, the volume of aggravated assault
offenses increased 10 percent over 1970 and 57
percent over 1966. Cities with 250,000 inhabitants
and over had a 6 percent increase in volume. The
suburban areas reported a 12 percent rise and rural
areas were up 5 percent. The North Cefitral States
registered an increase of 4 percent and the Western
States were up 11 percent. The Northeastern and
Southern States each recorded an increase of 12
percent.

Aggravated Assault Rate

For each 100,000 persons in the United States
during 1971, there were 177 victims of aggravated
assault. Large core cities Avith 250,000 or more
inhabitants recorded a victim rate of 351 per
100,000 suburban 117, and rural areas 100. Over
all, the victim rate for aggravated assault in-
creased 8 percent over 1970, and 49 percent over
1966. (See Chart 6.) The Southern States were
highest with a rate of 223 per 100,000 followed
by the Western States 204, Northeastern States
149, and the North Central States 132. This vic-
tim rate was up 5 percent in large core cities
while the suburban and rural areas were up 16
percent and 12 percent respectively.

Nature of Aggravated Assault

Most aggravated assaults occur \\dthin the
family unit, among neighbors or acquaintances.
The victim-offender relationship, as well as the
very natiu-e of the attack makes this crime similar
to murder. In 1971, 25 percent of the serious

assaults were committed with the use of a firearm.
A knife or other cutting instrument was used in
27 percent of the assaults, 24 percent were com-
mitted with blunt objects or other dangerous
weapons, and 24 percent with personal weapons,
such as hands, fists, and feet. A comparison of the
assault subclassifications for 1971 with 1966 indi-
cates that assaults with firearms have increased
109 percent; assaults with a knife or other cutting
instrument have risen 26 percent; those assaults
where blunt objects or other dangerous weapons
are used increased 66 percent, and those assaults
through use of personal weapons have climbed 51
percent. The table which follows demonstrates
the regional experience of aggravated assault in
1971 by type of weapon used.

Clearances

Performance, as measured by solutions, indi-
cates American law enforcement agencies were
successful LQ solving 66 of each 100 cases in 1971
compared with 65 of every 100 cases in 1970. This
relatively high solution ratio follows that of the
other crimes against the person. Persons under 18
years of age were identified in 10 percent of these
clearances. Due to the nature of these crimes,
arrests are frequently made upon the response of
patrol units. This type of patrol call is hazardous
to the officers. Since 1962, 101 officers have lost
their lives responding to disturbance-type calls,
which frequently involve family arguments.

Persons Arrested

Aggravated assault arrests for 1971 increased 70
percent over 1960 and 25 percent since 1966.
Since 1966 arrests of persons 18 years of age and
over for aggravated assault have increased 23 per-
cent and arrests of persons under 18 years of age
for this offense have increased 35 percent. As a
group, persons 21 years of age and over accounted
for 69 percent of the arrests for aggravated

assault in 1971 and those under age 21 accoimted
for 31 percent. Arrests of males outnumbered
females by about 7 to 1.

Persons Charged

Law enforcement agencies have difficulty La
obtaining convictions based on original charge in
the aggravated assault category. The close family
or other relationship which exists between vic-
tims and assailants ki this category accoimts for
the victim's frequent unwillingness to testify for
the prosecution. Acquittals and dismissals, there-
fore, continue to run high, four out of each ten
cases. Seventy-one out of every 100 adults arrested
for aggravated assault in 1971 were prosecuted.
Forty-three percent of the adults prosecuted for
this offense were convicted on this charge, 17 per-
cent were convicted of lesser charges while 20 per-
cent of all persons processed were referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction.

FORCIBLE RAPE

Forcible rape, as defined under this Program, is
the carnal knowledge of a female through the use
of force or the threat of force. Assaults to commit
forcible rape are also included ; however, statutory
rape (without force) is not counted in this cate-
gory. Crime counts in this offense classification
are broken down by actual forcible rapes and
attempted forcible rapes.

Volume

During 1971 there was an estimated total of
41,890 forcible rapes. Numerically, the volume
increased by 4,240 offenses over 1970. Forcible
rape made up less than one percent of the Crime
Index total and 5 percent of the crimes of violence
in 1971. The greatest volume was recorded in the
Southern States with 31 percent of the total,
while the Western States and North Central
States each recorded 26 percent, and the North-
eastern States 17 percent.

A comparison of the month-to-month variations
of forcible rape in 1971 with the long-term season-
ally adjusted trend followed the pattern set for
many years. Chart 14 reflects the month-to-month
variations of forcible rape during 1971, as well as
a comparison \vith the prior 5-year experience.

Trend

The volume of forcible rape offenses m 1971
increased 11 percent over 1970, and 64 percent
over 1966. This crime was committed most often
in the large cities with 250,000 or more inhabitants

which accounts for 44 percent of the forcible rapes.
In 1971, this group of cities registered an 8 percent
increase and the suburban areas were up 10 i)er-
cent. A rise of 7 percent was recorded in the rural
areas. Geographically, the Southern .States were
up 16 percent, the Northeastern States 14 percent,
the Western States 8 percent, and the North
Central States 7 percent.

Forcible Rape Rate

A crime rate equates the number of crimes per
unit of population, and in its proper perspective,
is a victim risk rate. In 1971, 40 out of every
100,000 females in this country were reported
forcible rape victims. Since 1966, the forcible rape
victim rate has increased 55 percent. In calendar
year 1971, the forcible rape rate increased 10
percent over 1970.

The large core cities recorded a victim risk rate
of 85 per 100,000 females, w'hile the suburban area
rate was 28 and the rural area 22. Again, as ex-
perienced in 1970, females residing in the Western
States were most often the victims of forcible rape.
In these States, the forcible rape rate was 60 per
100,000 females. The Southern States recorded a
rate of 40, followed by the North Central and
Northeastern States with rates of 36 and 28 per
100,000 females respectively.

Nature of Offenses

In 1971, 72 percent of all ofifenses reported in
this crime class were actual rapes by force W'hile
the remainder were attempts or assaults to commit
forcible rape. This offense is a violent crime
against the person, and of all the Crime Index
offenses, law enforcement administrators recog-
nize that this offense is probably one of the most
under-reported crimes due primarily to fear and/
or embarrassment on the part of the victims. As a
national average, 18 percent of all forcible rapes
reported to police were determined by investiga-
tion to be unfounded. In other words, the police
established that no forcible rape offense or attempt
occurred. This is caused primarily due to the
ciuestion of the use of force or threat of force fre-
quently comijlicated by a prior relationship be-
tween victim and offender. Ciimc counts in this
publication are limited to actual offenses estab-
lished by ijolice investigation.

Clearartces

The solution rate in 1971 was 55 ])ercent which
is a 3 percent decrease from the clearance rate
achieved in 1970. The large cities with 250,000 or

more inhabitants had a solution rate of 55 percent,
while the suburban law enforcement agencies
solved 51 percent and the rural areas 70 percent.
Nationally, 13 percent of the forcible rape offenses
solved were cleared by the arrest of persons under
the age of 18.

Persons Arrested

Males 17 to 20 years of age constituted the great-
est concentration of arrests for forcible rape in
1971. Total arrests for this offense increased 6 per-
cent with the arrest of persons under 18 years of
age up 5 percent over 1970. Sixty-four percent of
the arrests for forcible rape during the year were of
persons under the age of 25. All arrests for forcible
rape hi 1971 compared to 1966 indicate an in-
crease of 31 percent. Figures for the same years
indicate that arrests of those under 18 years of
age have increased 42 percent. In 1971, approxi-
mately 50 percent of the persons arrested for
forcible rape were Negroes, 48 percent whites, and
all other races comprised the remainder.

Persons Charged

Of all adults arrested for forcible rape in 1971,
70 percent were prosecuted for this offense.
Prosecutive problems accounted for acquittals
and/or dismissals in 48 percent of the cases.
Thirty-five percent of the adults prosecuted were
found guilty of the substantive offense and 17
percent were convicted of lesser offenses. Juvenile
referrals amounted to 24 percent of the persons
processed on forcible rape charges in 1971.

ROBBERY

Robbery is a vicious type of crime which takes
place in the presence of the victim to obtain
property or a thing of value from a person by use
of force or threat of force. Assault to commit
robbery and attempts are included. This is a
violent crime and frequently results in injury to
the victim. For crime reporting purposes informa-
tion concerning robbery is collected for armed
robbery wiiere any weapon is used, and strong-arm
robbery where no weapon other than a personal
weajjon, is employed. The latter category includes
crimes such as mugging, yoking, etc.

Volume

During the calendar year 1971, there were an
estimated 385,910 robberies committed in the
United States. This represents an increase of
37,670 robberies over the prior year. This offense
makes up 6 percent of the total Crime Index and

14

comprises 48 percent of the crimes of violence. In
1971, these offenses occurred most frequently
during the winter months.

Geographically, the heaviest volume of robbery
occuiTcd in the Northeastern States, which re-
ported 37 percent of the total in 1971. In the other
geographic regions the North Central States had
26 percent, the Southern States 22 percent, and
the remainder occured in the Western States.

Trend

In 1971 robbery offenses increased 11 percent in
volume when compared with 1970. Since 1966,
robbery has increased 145 percent. Large core
cities over 250,000 population reported an 8 per-
cent rise in the volume of robbery. Suburban areas
surrounding the large core cities recorded a 17
])ercent increase while the rural areas reported an
upward trend of 11 percent.

There were substantial increases in robbery in
each geographic region. The Northeastern States
had the sharpest increase — a 24 percent rise; while
the Western States were u]) 14 percent, the
Southern States 2 percent, and the North Central
States one percent.

The accompanying chart depicts the trend in
the volume of robbery and the robbery rate,
1966-1971.

Robbery Rate

The 1971 robbery rate of 187 victims per 100,000
inhabitants was 9 percent above the 1970 rate and
133 percent above the 1966 rate. Robbery is
primarily a large city crime. American cities with
more than 250,000 inhabitants accounted for seven
out of every ten robberies which occurred in the
United States during 1971.

Cities with over 250,000 inhabitants had a rob-
bery rate of 633 victims per 100,000 inhabitants.
There were 70 robbery victims per 100,000 in the
suburban areas, up 20 percent over the preceding
year, and 15 victims in the rural portions of the
country for each 100,000 inhabitants. Robbery
rates in the larger cities were 9 times greater than
the rates in the suburban areas, again pointing
out the fact that robbery rates tend to increase
in proportion to density of population. On a geo-
graphic basis, this crime occurred most frequently
in relation to population in the Northeastern
States where the rate of 285 was 22 percent liigher
than 1970. The Western States had a rate of 176,
the North Central States 172, and the Southern
States 131 per 100,000 inhabitants.

Nature of Robbery

Supplemental robbery information is obtained
from cities as a part of the monthly collection of
statistical data under this Program. In 1971, these
figures disclosed that 55 percent of the robberies
were committed in the street. Nationally, bank
robbery offenses increased from 2,331 offenses in
1970 to 2,586 offenses in 1971. The average bank
robbery dollar loss increased from $4,166 in 1970 to
$4,463 in 1971.

The 1966-1971 trends in robbery by type, as
illustrated by the following charts, show bank
robbery has increased 122 percent. During this
same period, gas or ser\'ice station holdups have
increased 73 percent, chain store robberies 220
percent, street robberies 151 percent, robberies in
residences 167 percent, and holdups of other com-
mercial or business establishments rose 121
percent.

Armed perpetrators were responsible for 65
percent of the robbery offenses during 1971, while
35 percent were muggings, yokings, or other violent
confrontations where personal weapons were used
bj^ the offender to subdue or overcome the victim.
Since 1966, armed robbery has increased 175
percent and strong-arm robbery 104 percent.

Special surveys have indicated that approxi-

mitted with a firearm, 24 percent with a knife or
other cutting instrument, and 13 percent with
blunt objects such as clubs, etc.

As it has been pointed out in prior issues of this
publication, the full impact of this violent crime
on the victim cannot be completely measured in
terms of dollar loss alone. While the object of the
attack is money or property, many victims of the
mugger and the strong-arm robber, as well as the
armed robber, suffer serious personal injury as a
result of the attack. During 1971, the average
value loss to the victims of robbery was $226 for
a total loss of $87 million.

Clearances

In 1971, law enforcement agencies were suc-
cessful in solving 27 percent of these crimes.
Eighty percent of the robberies which were
cleared by arrest involved adults. Fourteen per-
cent of the armed robberies and 31 percent of the
strong-arm type which were cleared, involved
arrests of persons under IS years of age.

Persons Arrested

Nationally, arrest for robbery increased 15 per-
cent in 1971 compared to 1970. The greatest
volume of arrests occurred in cities and were up
16 percent. In the rural areas arrests increased 7
percent and in the suburban areas arrests rose 19
percent.

Arrest data discloses that 77 percent of the
persons arrested for robbery were under 25 years
of age, and 55 percent were under 21 years of age.
Nationally, 32 percent of the persons arrested for
robbery were under 18. This greater proportion of
young age arrests, compared to solutions, is ac-
counted for in part by the fact the young age
offenders act in groups such as in strong-arm
robbery. Robbery arrests for this young age group
recorded an 11 percent increase in 1971 over 1970.
In the suburban areas young persons made up 28
percent of the arrests, and in the rural areas 18
percent.

In 1971, six of every 100 persons arrested for
robbery were females. Arrests of women for this
offense rose 19 percent in 1971 when related to
1970.

From a standpoint of race, 66 percent of those
arrested were Negro, 32 percent were white, and
all other races made up the remaining 2 percent.

Persons Charged

In 1971, 53 percent of all adults arrested for
robbery were prosecuted. Forty-three percent of
the persons processed for this crime were juveniles
whose cases were referred to juvenile court juris-
diction. Of the adults prosecuted in 1971, 35
percent were con\acted of the substantive charge,
20 percent were convicted on lesser charges, and
45 percent were acquitted or their cases were
dismissed.

BURGLARY

Under this Program, burglary is defined as the
unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony
or theft, even though no force was used to gain
entrance. Collection of crime counts in this
category is broken down into three subclassifica-

tions: forcible entry, unlawful entry where no
force is used, and attempted forcible entry.

Volume

An estimated total of 2,368,400 burglaries
occurred during 1971. This was an increase of
191,800 offenses over 1970. The large cities over
250,000 population accounted for 36 percent of all
burglaries during 1971. This offense makes up
40 percent of the Crime Index offenses and 46
percent of the property crimes. The Southern
States reported 27 percent of the total volume, the
Western States 25 percent, and the Northeastern
States and North Central States 24 percent each.

The highest volume of burglary offenses were
recorded during the last half of 1971, with the
peak month being December.

Trend

Since 1966, burglary has increased 70 percent.
In 1971, burglary rose 9 percent over 1970. Cities
over 250,000 population recorded an increase of
4 percent while the suburban and rural areas were
up 10 and 6 percent respectively. Regionally, the
Northeastern States reported an increase of 10
percent followed by the Western and North
Central States each with an increase of 9 percent.
The Southern States reported a 7 percent rise in
volume.

Burglary Rate

During the period 1966-1971, the burglary rate
increased 62 percent. The burglary rate rose 7
percent m 1971 over 1970. The crime rate equates
the number of offenses per 100,000 inhabitants
and this continuing upswing indicates the in-
creasing number of victims of burglary both
residential and nonresidential. The Western States
again recorded the highest burglary rate in 1971
with 1,653 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants fol-
lowed by the Northeastern States with a rate of
1,159, the Southern States 1,012, and the North
Central States 978. The large core cities OTth over
250,000 inhabitants recorded a rate of 2,026 per
100,000 inhabitants while the suburban and rural
areas had rates of 974 and 485 respectively.

Nature of Burglary

As it has been pointed out in prior issues,
burglary is a crime of stealth and opportunity
committed by amateurs and professionals alike.
In 1971, 77 percent of the burglaries involved
forcible entry, while 17 percent were unlawful
entry (without force) and 6 percent were attempts

to commit forcible entry. Residential burglary
accounted for 60 percent of the total offenses
while nonresidential burglary amounted to 40
percent in 1971. Daytime burglaries of residences
rose 14 percent in 1971, and accounted for over
one-half of these residential offenses. Since 1966,
there has been a substantial increase of 108
percent in daytime residential burglaries.

As a group, residential and nom-esidential
nighttime burglary represented 62 percent of
the total volume. Prevention and detection are
most difficult for law enforcement agencies due
to the tremendous volume of these offenses. In
1971, property owners suffered an economic loss
of $739 million, with an average dollar loss of $312
per burglary. Residential burglary losses amounted
to $457 million while nonresidential losses due to
burglaries amounted to $282 million.

Clearances

Law enforcement agencies were successful in
solving 19 percent of the burglary offenses in
1971.

Adults were identified in 65 percent of all cases
solved while young persons under 18 years of age
were identified in 35 percent. Law enforcement
agencies in cities 250,000 and above solved 20
percent of these crimes in 1971. Li the suburban
areas 16 percent were solved while 21 percent were
cleai'ed in the rural areas.

Persons Arrested

In 1971, total arrests for burglary increased 7
percent. Arrests of persons under 18 years of age
increased 4 percent and arrests of persons 18
years and over, rose 10 percent. Burglary arrests
increased 8 percent in the cities, 8 percent in
subiu-ban areas, and the rural areas recorded a
5 percent increase. An analysis of the period 1966-
1971, reveals a 42 percent increase in burglary
arrests. Arrests of individuals under the age of
18 increased 32 percent, while arrests of adult
burglary offenders increased 53 percent, 1966-
1971.

Nationally, persons under 25 accounted for 83
percent of all arrests for burglary in 1971. Of the
total, young persons under 18 accounted for 51
percent of all arrests for this crime. Females
were involved in five of every 100 arrests for
burglary during 1971. Arrests of whites outnum-
bered Negroes by almost 2 to 1.

Persons Charged

Nationally, in 1971, 72 percent of the adults
arrested for burglary were prosecuted. Of the
adults prosecuted, 51 percent were found guilty
as charged, 18 percent were convicted of lesser
charges and 31 percent were freed through acquit-
tal or dismissal of charges. Juveniles referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction accounted for 56 percent
of all persons processed for burglary in 1971.

LARCENY-THEFT

Larceny-theft is the unlawful taking or stealing
of property or articles of value without the use of
force, violence, or fraud. It includes crimes such
as shoplifting, pocket-picking, purse-snatching,
thefts from autos, thefts of auto parts and
accessories, bicycle thefts, etc. In the Uniform
Crime Reporting Program this crime category
does not include embezzlement, "con" games,
forgery, and worthless checks. Auto theft, of
course, is excluded from this category for crime
reporting purposes inasmuch as it is a separate
Crime Index offense.

The Crime Index offense of larceny is limited to
those thefts where the value of property stolen is
$50 or more.

Volume

In 1971 there were 1,875,200 offenses of larceny
$50 and over, up from 1,749,800 such crimes in
1970. This offense makes up 31 percent of the
Crime Index total. From a seasonal standpoint,
larceny was highest in the summer months of 1971
and reached a peak in August.

The offense of larceny was evenly distributed in
that each geographic region had approximately
one-fourth of the total offenses.

Trend

In 1971, larceny $50 and over increased 7 percent
over 1970 and 109 percent over 1966. The large
cities A\dth over 250,000 inhabitants reported a
decrease of 3 peixent in the volume of this offense.
The suburban and rural areas, however, recorded
increases of 13 and 9 percent respectively.

Geogi'aphically, larceny increased 9 percent in
the Western States, 8 percent in the North Central
States, 6 percent in the Southern States, and 5
percent in the Northeastern States.

Larceny Rate

During 1971, the larceny crime rate rose to 909
offenses per 100,000 inhabitants, an increase of 6
percent over the 1970 rate and double the rate of

21

1966. In 1971, the large core cities registered a
crime rate of 1,241 per 100,000 inhabitants. The
suburban larceny rate was 924 and the rural rate
was 344. Viewed geographically, the Western
States reported the highest larceny rate with 1,363
offenses per 100,000 inhabitants which was 7
percent above 1970. The Northeastern States had
a rate of 857 up 4 percent; the North Central
States 813 up 6 percent, and the Southern States
784 reported an increase of 4 percent in the rate.

Nature of Larceny-Theft

The average value of property stolen in each
larceny in 1971 was $110, up from $90 m 1966, and
$74 in 1960. This average value includes losses
from the large number of thefts under $50 in
value. When average value is applied to the esti-
mated crimes in this category, the dollar loss to
victims was in excess of $485 million. It is true that
a portion of the goods stolen was recovered and
retiu-ned to victims, but the relatively low per-
centage of these crimes cleared by arrest, and the
lack of specific identification characteristics on
such property indicates these recoveries will not
materially reduce the overall loss. In addition,
many offenses in this category, particularly where
the value of the stolen goods is small, never come
to police attention.

Since dollar valuation of property stolen in
thefts determines whether or not a theft becomes
a Crime Index offense, economic conditions are a
factor. The rising cost of living with its upward
influence on prices, coupled with increased demand
for more expensive commodities, present greater
criminal opportunity and also affects the larceny
$50 and over trend.

In 1964, the FBI began an expanded collection
of data on larceny by type. It should be noted that
the percent distribution of larceny by type and
area is significant. Likewise, the trend in "street
larceny," without relation to dollar loss, suggests
a better indicator of this crime experience than the
present reporting subdivisions of "larceny $50
and over in value" and "larceny imder $50 in
value." In this regard, it should be noted that the
category "street larceny" will include pocket-
picking, purse-snatching, thefts from autos, auto-
mobile accessories, thefts from coin-operated
machines, and "all other" larceny. The "street
larceny" category will replace "larceny $50 and
over" as the Crime Index offense in 1973.

The term "street larceny" is used to identify
this group of thefts since they generally occur
within reach of police patrols. When "street lar-
cenies" are used collectively, a larceny decrease of
one percent was registered, 1971 over 1970, and
a 57 percent increase, 1971 over 1966. During the
same periods, larceny $50 and over in value in-
creased 7 percent and 109 percent respectively.

In 1971, the average value of goods and prop-
erty reported stolen from victims of pickpockets
was $85, by purse-snatchers $50, by shoplifters
$25, by thefts from autos $149, and by miscellan-
eous thefts from buildings $202.

The accompanying table presents distribution
of larceny by type for large cities, suburban, and
rural areas. Cities and suburban areas appear to
have similar experience except for pocket-picking
and purse-snatching which are considerably less
in the suburban areas. This, of course, is to be
expected as these theft opportunities flourish
where population and business houses are highly
concentrated. It is interesting to note that figures
for shoplifting are quite similar in the city and
suburban areas while there is a decided drop in
the rural area. The shopping center which is still
largely absent in rural areas contributes substan-
tially to these figures. Thefts from autos made
up 20 percent of larceny in large cities over
250,000 in population, 15 percent in suburban
areas, and 14 percent in rural areas.

major types of thefts which contributed to the
large number of these crimes were thefts from
buildings, 16 percent and stolen bicycles, 17 per-
cent. Miscellaneous types of larcenies, not falling
into any of the specific categories for which sta-
tistics were collected, made up 15 percent of the
total. The remainder was distributed among
l)ocket-picking, purse-snatching, shoplifting, and
thefts from coin-operated machines.

Clearances

The nature of larceny, a crime of opportunity,
sneak thievery, and petty unobserved thefts,
makes it an extremely difficult one for law enforce-
ment officers to solve. A lack of witnesses and the
tremendous volume of these crimes work in the
offender's favor. In 1971, 19 percent of all larceny
offenses brought to police attention were solved.
Involvement of the young age group is demon-
strated by the fact that 40 percent of these crimes
which were cleared in the Nation's cities were
solved by arrest of persons under 18 years of age.
Juvenile clearance figures for suburban areas and
rural areas were 42 percent and 26 percent
respectively.

The larceny clearance percentage for the cities
over 250,000 inhabitants was 19 percent. The
suburbs reported a 16 percent clearance rate and
the rural areas a 19 percent rate.

Persons Arrested

Forty-eight percent of the total arrests for
serious crimes in 1971 were for larceny. Arrests for
this crime were up 7 percent, 1971 over 1970.
Fifty percent of these arrests were of persons
under 18 years of age and when individuals under
21 were considered, the ratio rose to two-thirds.
When examined by sex of arrested persons, it was
determined that females comprised 28 percent of
all arrests for larceny-theft and had a higher
involvement in this offense than for any of the
Index offenses. In fact, women were arrested more
often for larceny than any other offense in 1971.

Ai-rests of females rose 8 percent in 1971; while
arrests of males increased 7 percent. Arrests of
whites out-numbered Negroes by 2 to 1 with all
other races comprising about two percent of the
arrests for larceny-theft. The total volume of
arrests for larceny-theft in 1971, as compared with
the 1966 figures, indicates a 53 percent increase.
Arrests of individuals under 18 were 37 percent
greater than 1966. The number of adult arrests
rose 74 percent over the number of arrests for this
offense in 1966.

Persons Charged

As in prior years, law enforcement agencies
nationally charged more than twice as many
offenders for larceny-theft than for any other Crime
Index offense. Seventy-one percent of the adults
prosecuted for larceny-theft were found guilty of
this offense, 6 percent were found guilty of a
lesser charge, and 23 percent had their cases dis-
missed or were acquitted. Thirty percent of persons
processed in 1971 for larceny were referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction.

AUTO THEFT

In Uniform Crime Reporting, auto theft is
defined as the unlawful stealing or driving away
of a motor vehicle, including attempts. This
definition excludes taking for temporary use by
those persons having lawful access to the vehicle.
Volume

In 1971, 941,600 motor vehicles were reported
stolen. Geographically, the volume of auto theft
was highest in the Northeastern States which
reported 32 percent of the total number followed
by the North Central States with 25 percent.
The Western States reported 22 percent and the
Southern States reported the remainder. This
crime made up 16 percent of the total Crime
Index offenses. Seasonal variations during 1971
disclosed auto theft was highest during the months
July through October.

Trend

Auto thefts in 1971 volumewise increased 2
percent over 1970; however, this was the smallest
increase of any Crime Index offense. The number
of auto thefts has increased 69 percent since 1966.
As it has been pointed out in prior issues, it
should be remembered that it is invalid to assume
more auto thefts occur solely because of more
automobile registrations. From 1966 tlirough
1971, the percentage increase in auto theft has
been more than double the percentage increase in
automobile registrations.

Auto theft decreased one percent in large cities
with 250,000 or more inhabitants while the
suburban areas registered a 6 percent increase.
The rural areas decreased less than one percent.

Geographically, auto thefts were up 6 percent
in the Northeastern States. The Western States
reported a rise of 4 percent, and the Southern and
North Central States each reported a decrease of
one percent. The accomimnying chart shows the
trend in auto thefts, 1966-1971.

Aufo Theft Rate

The 1971 auto theft rate of 457 offenses per
100,000 inhabitants showed an increase of less than
one percent over 1970. Since 1966, the auto theft
rate has risen 60 percent. Citizens in cities with
over one miUion population were deprived more
often of their motor vehicles in 1971 than in any
other population group, with almost 12 thefts per
1,000 inhabitants.

Nationally, the auto theft rate in large core
cities with 250,000 or more inhabitants was 1,099
which was a decrease of 2 percent as compared to
the rate in 1970. The suburban areas had an in-
crease of 6 percent in the auto theft rate wliich
was 306 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1971. The rural
areas had an auto theft rate of 70 which was a 2
percent decrease compared to 1970.

Regionally the Northeastern States had the
highest auto theft rate in 1971. Tliis rate was 600
and an increase of 5 percent over 1970. The
Western States had a rate of 581 per 100,000
inhabitants which was an increase of 2 percent.
The North Central States had a rate of 410 which
was 2 percent lower than the prior year and the
Southern States reported a decrease of 3 per-
cent in the auto theft rate to 318 auto thefts per
100,000 inhabitants.

Across the Nation in 1971, one of every 100
registered automobiles was stolen. Regionally, this
rate was the highest in the Northeastern States
where 15 cars per 1,000 registered vehicles were
stolen. In the other three regions the figures were
12 in the Western States, 9 in the North Central
States, and 7 in the Southern States.

Nature of Auto Theft

Auto theft rates again clearly indicate that this
crime is primarily a large city problem, since the
highest rates appear in the most heavily populated
sections of the Nation. In 1971, the average value
of stolen automobiles was $933 at the time of
theft.
Clearances

Due to the fact that prior studies have docu-
mented two-thirds of all auto thefts occur at
night and over one-half are from private residences,
apartments, or streets in residential districts, law
enforcement agencies were successful in solving
only 16 percent of these thefts by arrest of the
offender. These crimes occur under cover of dark-
ness, and there are seldom any witnesses to the
theft. On the other hand, police nationally are

successful in recovering about 82 percent of all
stolen cars. Over one-half of the stolen vehicles
are taken and recovered within 48 hours. Although
recovery of the vehicle does not clear the offense,
the property is available for return to the victim.
This high recovery percentage can be attributed
to the fact that approximately 75 percent of all
cars stolen are used for transportation or the pur-
pose of the theft is unknown. The remainder were
taken for resale, stripping for parts, or use in
another crime.

In the Nation's largest cities 16 percent of auto
thefts were cleared during 1971. Police in the sub-
urban areas were again somewhat more successful,
clearing 17 percent. Throughout the Nation auto
theft clearance percentages ranged from 13 percent
in the Middle Atlantic States to 22 percent in the
West North Central States.

In all geographic divisions and population
groups the participation of the young age group
population is indicated by the high proportion of
these clearances which were through the arrest of
persons under 18 years of age. In the large core
cities, 35 percent of the auto thefts were cleared by
arrests in this age group while juveniles accounted
for 41 percent of the solutions in the suburbs and
34 percent in the rural areas.

Persons Arrested

As in prior years, persons arrested for auto theft
come primarily from the young age group popu-
lation. In 1971, 53 percent of all persons arrested
for this crime were under 18 years of age. When
persons under 21 are included in the computa-
tions, the proportion of arrests rises to 72 percent.

The national trend in auto theft arrests dis-
closed an increase of less than one percent in 1971
when compared to 1970. Adult arrests rose 8 per-
cent while arrests of persons under 18 decreased
6 percent. During the period 1966-1971, auto
theft arrests increased 14 percent.

Of all crimes against property, next to burglary,
auto theft as measured by arrest showed the least
participation by females. Females under 18 years
of age recorded a decrease of less than one percent
in arrests for auto theft. White persons made up 62
percent of the arrests for auto theft, Negroes 35
percent, and all other races the remainder.

Persons Charged

Police reports disclosed that of all persons for-
mally processed for auto theft in 1971, 64 percent
were referred to juvenile court jurisdiction. No
other Crime Index offense results in such a high

percentage of juvenile referrals. When the re-
maining adult offenders were considered as a group,
46 percent of those prosecuted on charges of auto
theft were found guilty as charged, 15 percent were
convicted of lesser charges, and 39 percent were
acquitted or their cases were dismissed.

CLEARANCES

In this Program police clear a crime when they
have identified the offender, have sufficient evi-
dence to charge him, and actually take him into
custody. Crime solutions are also recorded in
exceptional instances when some element beyond
police control precludes the placing of formal
charges against the offender, such as the victim's
refusal to prosecute after the offender is identified
or local prosecution is declined because the subject
is being prosecuted elsewhere for a crime com-
mitted in another jurisdiction. The arrest of one
person can clear several crimes or several persons
may be arrested in the process of clearing one
crime.

Law enforcement agencies in the Nation cleared
20 percent of Index Crimes durmg 1971. In 1971
law enforcement agencies solved 84 percent of the
murder offenses, 55 percent of forcible rapes, 66
percent of aggravated assaults, and 27 percent of
the robberies. Solutions in the property crime
categories showed police cleared 19 percent of the
burglaries, 19 percent of the larcenies, and 16
percent of the auto thefts. Police are able to clear
a higher percentage of the crimes against the per-
son, not only because of the more intense investi-
gative effort afforded these violent crimes re-
quiring poHce attention, but more importantly,
because ^ntnesses are usually available who can
identify the perpetrators.

The highest overall Crime Index clearance rate
regionally was recorded by the Southern States
\vith 22 percent, followed by the North Central
States with 20 percent, the Western States with
19 percent, and the Northeastern States ^vdth 17
percent.

The accompanying chart reveals crime and
police clearance experience for the last five years.
From 1966 to 1971 the Crime Index offenses rose
83 percent. Police response to this sharp upward
trend was a 44 percent increase in the number of
arrests for Crime Index type offenses. However,
the clearance rate, which relates the number of
knowia offenses cleared, has declined. In 1966, the
ratio of Crime Index offenses cleared to crimes

reported was 24 out of 100. In 1971, for each 100
Crime Index offenses 20 were cleared.

There are a number of factors influencing the
overall police solution rate. These include court
decisions which have resulted in restrictions on
police investigative and enforcement practices;
increases of police workloads in criminal and non-
criminal matters, riots, disturbances, marches,
etc. The almost constant rate of police strength is
not commensurate with the sharp increase in
crime and the increasing mobility of those who
commit crimes.

Offenses Cleared by Arrest of Juveniles

One means of measuring the involvement of the
young age group in crime is to identify the num-
ber of crimes in which they are the offenders.
In 1971, 28 percent of all Crime Index offenses
solved involved persons under 18 years of age,
while persons 10 to 17 years of age account for
about 16 percent of the total United States
population.

PERSONS ARRESTED

In 1971, law enforcement agencies made an
estimated 8.6 million arrests nationally for all
criminal acts except traffic offenses. The arrest
rate was 44 arrests for each 1,000 persons. In
1970, there were 43 arrests for each 1,000 in-
habitants. The arrest rate for big cities as a
group was 61 per 1,000 inhabitants, up from 58
in 1970; for suburban areas 33, up from 29 in
the prior year; and in the rural areas the arrest
rate rose to 22, up from 20 arrests per 1,000
people in 1970.

Arrests are primarily a measure of police ac-
tivity. Arrest practices, policies, and enforce-
ment emphasis mil vary from place to place and
\vithin a community from time to time. The
volume of police arrests for certain unla\vful con-
duct such as drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and
certain local ordinances is particularly influenced
by the above. On the other hand, robbery, bur-
glary, and other arrests for serious crimes are
more likely the result of standard procedures.
Arrests are first a measure of police acti\'ity as it
relates to crime. Arrests do, however, pro\ade a
useful index to measure involvement in criminal
acts by the age, sex, and race of the perpetrators,
particularly for those crimes which have a high
solution rate. Procedures used in this Program
require that an arrest be counted on each separate
occasion when a person is taken into custody,

notified, or cited. Arrests do not measure the
number of individuals taken into custody since
one person may be arrested several times during
the year for the same or different offenses. As
noted above, this happens frequently for certain
types of offenses against pubUc order such as
drunkenness, vagrancy, disorderly conduct, and
related violations.

Arrest Trends

In 1971, police arrests for all offenses except
traffic increased 3 percent over 1970. During this
time arrests of persons under 18 years of age in-
creased 5 percent and arrests of persons 18 years
of age and over increased 3 percent. When only
the serious crimes are used to compute this trend,
the increase was 5 percent for persons under 18
years of age and 9 percent for those 18 years of age
and over, with an increase of 7 percent for all ages.

During the five-year period, 1966-1971, police
arrests increased 26 percent with the arrests of
persons under 18 years of age up 40 percent and
the arrests of persons 18 years of age and over up
22 percent. When only the serious crimes are used
in computing this five-year trend, the increase was
44 percent. Arrested persons under 18 years of age
increased 31 percent while the adult arrests in-
creased 57 percent. Adult arrests for violent crimes
were up 44 percent and for property crimes 64
percent. Violent crime arrests for persons under 18
years of age increased 65 percent while the prop-
erty crime arrests increased 28 percent.

Age

Nationally, persons under 15 years of age made
up 10 percent of the total police arrests; under 18,
26 percent; under 21, 40 percent; and under 25, 54
percent. In the suburban areas, the involvement of
the young age groups in poUce arrests is again
markedly higher than the national figures with the
under 15 age group represented in 13 percent;
under 18, 34 percent; under 21, 50 percent; and
imder 25, 63 percent. In the rural areas the dis-
tributions were lower for the younger age groups,
with the under 15 group being involved in 5 per-
cent; under 18 in 19 percent; under 21 in 36 per-
cent; and those under 25, 52 percent of total police
arrests. When only the serious crimes are con-
sidered, 19 percent of all arrests in 1971 were for
persons under the age of 15 and almost one-half
were under 18 years of age.

In reviewing arrest figures, it is important to
keep in mind that poUce arrest practices and
emphasis vary which will account for some varia-
tions in these statistics from year to year. It is
noted arrests of persons under 18 for Narcotic
Drug Law violations have increased sharply in
recent years. In fact, in 1971, 52 percent of the
individuals arrested for violations of the Narcotic
Drug Laws were persons under 21 years of age. It
shoxild be noted that in 1966 one-third of the per-
sons arrested for Narcotic Drug Law violations
were under 21 years of age. Twenty-six percent of
the marijuana arrests in 1971 were persons under
the age of 18 and 62 percent of the arrests for this
offense involved persons under 21 years of age.

Arrests for Narcotic Drug Law violations 1971
over 1970 were up 11 percent nationally. From
1966 to 1971, arrests for this violation increased
469 percent. There is set forth a tabulation by
geographic region showing the type of narcotic
drug involved in the arrest of the offender in 1971.

Male arrests outnumbered female arrests 6 to 1
in 1971. Male arrests in 1971 rose by 3 percent,
while female arrests were up 7 percent. Females
were arrested in 17 percent of the serious or Crime
Index type offenses. Ten percent of the arrests
for violent crimes in 1971 involved females and
arrests of females for these types of crimes in-
creased 14 percent, 1971 over 1970. Again, as in
prior years their involvement was primarily for
larceny, which accounted for 18 percent of all
female arrests. In fact, 19 percent of all property
crime arrests in 1971 were of females. Females
accounted for 25 percent of the forgery, 29 percent
of the fraud, 25 percent of the embezzlement, and
16 percent of the narcotics arrests. Over one-half of
the runaway — poUce custody cases — were girls
under 18 years of age.

34

The five-year arrest trends, 1966-1971, revealed
that arrests for young females under 18 years of
age increased 79 percent, while arrests for young
males under 18 rose 32 percent. When the serious
crimes, as a group, are considered, arrests of males
1966-1971, were up 39 percent and female arrests
increased 80 percent.

PERSONS CHARGED

Disposition data reveals the results of cases in
which law enforcement agencies have made an
arrest and subsequently formally charged the
offender in a court of jurisdiction. This information
is important to the law enforcement administrator
in evaluating the quahty of investigations and
court presentation functions.

In 1971, 82 percent of the adults arrested for
Crime Index type offenses were prosecuted in the
courts. Of the adults prosecuted for Crime Index
offenses, 60 percent were found guilty as charged
and 11 percent of a lesser charge.

It must be recognized that not all arrested
persons are turned over to the courts for prose-
cution. There are various reasons for this: failure
of the victim to cooperate or appear for the
prosecution, persons arrested are released with a
warning, evidence is obtained which discloses the
arrested person did not commit the offense, or
there is not sufficient evidence obtainable to
support either a formal charge or a subsequent
prosecution.

For example, about one-half of the juveniles
arrested are handled by the individual law
enforcement agencies without preferring a formal
charge or referring them to juvenile authorities.
All contributors to this Program are urged to
obtain and report final disposition in cases
involving persons they arrest. Tables containing
this data commence on page 110. Keep in mind
that police methods of handling juvenile offenders
differ widely. Also, the tables concerning juveniles
(local age limit) refer to those who were arrested
and turned over to juvenile authorities in connec-
tion with specific criminal acts.

In 1971, 33 percent of the murder defendants
were either acquitted or their cases dismissed at
some prosecutive stage. Forty-eight percent of
those charged with forcible rape were acquitted
or had their cases dismissed, and 40 percent of the
persons charged with aggravated assault won their
freedom through acquittal or dismissal.

Of the adults who were prosecuted for Crime
Index offenses, 29 percent were acquitted or their
cases were dismissed. Larceny, 71 percent, re-
corded the highest percentage for persons found
guilty on the original charge in 1971. This was fol-
lowed by 51 percent on the original charge for
burglary, 46 percent for auto theft, 44 percent for
murder, 43 percent for aggravated assault, 35 per-
cent for robbery, and 35 percent for forcible rape.
The offense which had the highest percentage guilt j^
of a lesser charge was murder where 23 percent
of the defendants were convicted on some charge
other than murder.

Thirty-nine percent of the persons processed
for the Crime Index categories were yoimg persons
referred to juvenile court jurisdiction. Again, as in
1970, juvenile referrals were highest for auto theft
with 64 percent of those processed for this offense,
56 percent burglary, 43 percent robbery, 30 per-
cent larceny, 24 percent forcible rape, 20 percent
aggravated assault, and 13 percent murder.

During 1971, as in past years, auto theft, arson,
burglary, and vandalism recorded high percentages
of juvenile referrals. When all crime categories are
reviewed, it is noted that convictions on original
charges remained high in the offenses against
public order and decency — driving under the
influence, drunkenness, disorderly conduct, and
vagrancy. As in prior years, offenses against trust,
such as fraud and embezzlement, also recorded a
high percentage of conviction on original charges.

CAREERS IN CRIME

From January, 1963, through December, 1969,
the Uniform Crime Reporting Program processed
criminal history data on some 240,000 offenders
for statistical use. This study has been used to
document the extent to which criminal recidivism
over a period of time contributes to annual crime
counts and has also been used to show the need for
the centraUzation of law enforcement information
at the state and national level in view of criminal
repeating and mobiUty. This offender based study
was made possible by the cooperative exchange of
criminal fingerprint data among local, state, and
Federal law enforcement agencies. While the basis
of selection in this study was a Federal offense, it
should be kept in mind that most Federal criminal
violations are also violations of local and state
laws. The offender transaction records examined
in this study are, therefore, believed to be com-
parable to the local and state experience for the
more serious violators.

The Careers in Crime study brought to the Uni-
form Crime Reporting Program valuable statistical
experience in the field of criminal histories, and
has demonstrated the use of offender based
transaction information to measure the success
or failure of the entire criminal justice system. The
key to the effectiveness of the system is in knowing
what happened to the people who were handled or
treated by the criminal justice process, specifically,
whether they were deterred from further criminal
acts and/or rehabilitated.

Since January, 1970, the FBI has been convert-
ing Federal offenders' records to computer form for
the operational Computerized Criminal History
(CCH) file. Although this is an operational
program, it was designed and established with full
recognition of the statistical and research potential
of offender based data.

A summary of 68,914 offenders in the CCH file
who were arrested during 1971 is set out in the
following tables. Of these 68,914 individuals,
47,197 (68 percent) were repeat offenders. These
offenders had an average criminal career of six
years and two months (number of years between
first and last arrest) during wluch time they were
arrested an average of four times each. The 68,914
offenders had a documented total of 294,000
charges during their criminal careers, with 79,242
convictions and 28,488 imprisonments of sLx
months or more.

Of the 47,197 repeat offenders, 23,114 were
rearrested in states other than that where first
arrested. Of the 23,114 "mobile" offenders 4,780
were arrested in three different states and 3,952
were arrested in four or more different states.

It should be kept in mind that this presenta-
tion is conservative and understates the amount
of crime committed by these offenders since it is
based on poUce detection, arrest, and submission
of a fingerprint card. As indicated in earlier pages
of this publication, law enforcement agencies do
not clear or solve most crimes. Only one-fifth of
the serious crimes committed during 1971 were
solved by arrest. It is also true that the prior
conviction and imprisonment rates are slightly
lower than actual because police agencies do not
always submit such data after arrest, conviction,
and release. In fact, disposition has not been
received on over 150,000 of the 294,000 charges.

A profile of criminal repeating for selected
offenders is shown in the following table. Average
age for the first arrest is high because of the general
practice not to submit criminal fingerprint cards
on juveniles. Criminal career is the average years
between the first and last arrest.

The offender profile is classified by type of
crime for which arrested in 1971.

When criminal repeating is viewed by type of
crime for which arrested in 1971, repeaters ranged
from 33 percent for the embezzler to 77 percent
for the murderer. The predatory crime offenders
had high repeat rates with 75 percent of the
robbers and auto thieves and 73 percent of the
burglars arrested in 1971 being repeat offenders.
Like\\-ise, 63 percent of the narcotic offenders who
were frequent users were repeaters.

The Careers in Crime study has consistently
documented the fact that the younger age group
shows- a greater frequency of repeating. This fact
calls for greater rehabilitation efforts directed at
the young offender, if hardened criminal careers
are to be aborted.

Over half of the offenders under 20 years of
age who were arrested in 1971 were repeat
offenders. These repeat offenders under 20 were
rearrested more frequently than any other age
group, with an arrest every 4 months. The arrest
rate for the other age groups were: 20-24 years,
every 9 months; 25-29 years, every 14 months;
30-34 years, every 18 months; 35-39 years,
every 22 months; 40-49 years, every 28 months;
and over 50 years of age, once every 38 months.

POLICE EMPLOYEE DATA

This publication has a section on Law Enforce-
ment Emploj-ee Data which contains tables show-
ing average police employee strength by sex, geo-
graphic divisions and population group, percent-
ages of civilian employees, and an indi\'idual
listing of police employees for reporting cities and
surrounding suburban counties. This year data is
set forth showing number and type of patrol
assignments established by law enforcement agen-
cies. Tables containing data relative to law en-
forcement officers killed and assaulted in the line

of duty are published to supplement the narrative
material which follows.

Employee Rates

The average number of police employees per
1,000 inhabitants in 1971 (including civiUan em-
ployees) was 2.4, which is a 4 percent increase
over the 1970 rate of 2.3. Male employees repre-
sented 91.6 percent of all police employee strength.

Most United States cities continue to operate
with police emjiloyee ratio of less than the national
average of 2.4 per 1,000. When arrayed by quartile,
50 percent of all American cities or law enforce-
ment agencies have police ratios ranging from 1.4
to 2.3 police employees per 1,000 inhabitants.

Nationally, large cities with 250,000 or more
inhabitants as a group, had an average ratio of 3.3
employees per 1,000 inhabitants.

The ratio of police employees to population in
the suburban areas was 1.8, per 1,000 inhabitants
an increase from the 1.7 rate in 1970. Again it
should be noted those communities which are ex-
periencing rapidly growing and increasing densi-
ties of population are also recording the largest
percentage increases in the volume of crime. One-
half of the suburban police departments have
from 1.2 to 2.2 employees per 1,000 inhabitants.
The average rate of full-time employees in sheriff's
departments was 1.4 per 1,000 inhabitants; how-
ever, in three-fourths of these departments the
rate was 1.3 or fewer employees.

Police departments in the Middle Atlantic
States continue to have the highest rate, 2.9 em-
ployees per 1,000 inhabitants. Cities in the West
South Central States had the lowest ratio of 1.8.

Civilian Employees

In Table 57 the percentage of total law enforce-
ment personnel represented by civilian employees
is tabulated by population group. On the average,
during 1971, 13.7 percent of all city pohce per-
sonnel were civilian employees, up from 13.2
percent in 1970. Of all civilian employees, 54
percent were female and 46 percent were male per-
sonnel. Law enforcement administrators are con-
tinuing to utilize greater numbers of civilian em-
ployees, thereb^y relieving sworn personnel for
active police duties.

Sworn Personnel

Computing law enforcement employee rates on
the basis of sworn personnel only (excluding
civilian employees) determines that the average
rate for all cities was 2.1 in 1971, compared to

the 1970 rate of 2.0 per 1,000 inhabitants. The
city rates, nationally, range from 0.1 to 9.7 per

1.000 inhabitants. In cities, males represented
99 percent of all sworn personnel, while in subur-
ban agencies males constituted 97 percent and
in the rural areas 94 percent. The average ratio
of sworn employees in sheriff's departments was

1.1 per 1,000 inhabitants, the same as in 1970
and the rate range for the 1,539 reporting county
agencies was 0.1-8.8 per 1,000 inhabitants.
Caution should be exercised, however, in using
rates for comparative purposes since there is a
wide variation in the responsibilities of various
law enforcement agencies throughout the country.
Just as the conditions which affect the amount
and type of crime that occurs vary from place
to place, so do the requirements for types of
police services based upon the conditions which
exist in a given community. For example, the
increased need for police service in a community
which has a highly mobile or seasonal population,
differs from a community which has a relatively
stable or fixed population. In addition, a small
community situated between two large cities
may require a greater number of law enforcement
personnel to handle crime conditions based solely
on its geographic location.

The functions of the sheriffs also vary widely
in different sections of the country. In certain
areas the sheriffs' responsibilities are limited
almost exclusively to civil functions and/or the
administration of the county jail facilities. The
sheriffs' departments used in computing rates,
however, are all engaged in police activity and
are responsible for all phases of policing in their
jurisdiction.

It is pointed out that the figures set forth in
detailed police employee tables (Tables 51 and 52)
represent national averages. They should be used
as a guide or indicator and not considered as
recommended or desirable police strengths. Ade-
quate manpower for a specific place can only be
determined after a careful study and analysis
of the various factors which contribute to the need
for police service in that community.

Police Patrols

In 1971, information was collected from law
enforcement agencies concerning the types of
patrols being utilized throughout the Nation.
According to the information received, 86 percent
of the patrols utilized in cities were vehicle
patrols and 14 percent were foot patrols. In cities

with over 250,000 inhabitants 81 percent were
vehicle patrols and 19 percent were foot patrols.
In the areas covered by sheriff's and county
police departments 94 percent were vehicle
patrols and 6 percent were foot patrols. For all
cities, patrol distribution indicated that 34 per-
cent ot the patrol activity was during the day,
35 percent during the evening hours, and after
midnight 31 percent. For large cities with over
250,000 inhabitants, 36 percent of the patrol
activity was during the day, 36 j^ercent during
the evening hours, and 28 percent after midnight.
In the areas covered by sheriff's and county police
39 percent of the patrol activity was during the
day, 31 percent during the evening hours, and 29
percent after midnight.

The distribution of one and two man vehicle
patrols for all cities indicated that 82 percent of
the vehicle patrols during the day involved one
man cars, 72 percent during the evening hours,
and after midnight 70 i)ercent. In the large cities
with 250,000 or more inhabitants 61 percent of
the daytime patrols involved the use of one man
cars, 53 percent during the evening hours, and
after midnight 51 percent. In the areas covered by
sheriff's and county police departments, 93 percent
of the daytime patrols involved the use of one
man cars, 78 percent during the evening hours,
and after midnight 76 percent were one man
vehicles.

State Police and State Highway Patrols

There were 57,131 employees in State Police and
State Highway Patrol organizations in 1971. This
was an increase of 4 percent over 1970. Of the
total employees, 72 percent were sworn personnel
and 15,766, or 28 percent, were civilian employees.

The police employee strengths of State Police
and State Highway Patrol organizations are set
forth in Table 61. This table provides additional
data relative to the miles of primary highway and
the number of state motor vehicle registrations
per sworn employee, by state.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED

A total of 126 law enforcement officers were
killed due to felonious criminal action in 1971.
This is an increase over 1970 when 100 law
enforcement officers were slain. During the ten-
year period, 1962-1971, 722 officers were killed.
The average number of law enforcement officers
slain was 72 a year during the period 1962-1971.

Specifically, there were 48 officers killed in 1962;
55 in 1963; 57 in 1964; 53 in 1965; 57 in 1966;
76 in 1967; 64 in 1968; 86 in 1969; 100 in 1970;
and 126 in 1971.

Circumstances Surrounding Deaths

Examination of circumstances under which
police officers were murdered in 1971 continues
to disclose a most urgent need for officers to be
more alert in connection with all their duties,
regardless of how routine these duties may have
been in the past. It is essential that officers be
extremely alert with all individuals whom they
contact. No arrest situation can be considered
routine as evidenced by the fact that during the
period 1962-1971 more officers were killed at-
tempting arrests than in any other matter.
During 1971, 22 officers were killed while attempt-
ing arrest for crimes other than robbery or
burglary. Twenty-five officers were slain by
persons they encountered during the commission
of a robbeiy, or who they were in pursuit of as
robbery suspects. In connection with the crime of
burglary, seven officers were killed at the scene
of the burglary or while pursuing burglary
suspects.

During the period 1967-1971, 49 officers were
slain from ambush. Twenty (or 41 percent) of the
officers were slain in 1971, 19 in 1970, three in
1969, and seven in 1968. There were no ambush
slayings in 1967. In 1971, seven officeis were slain
by mentally deranged persons. During the period
1962-1971 a total of 32 officers were murdered by
mentally deranged persons, 22 of which occurred
during the period 1967-1971.

Twenty officers were slain while making traffic
stops in 1971. Nine officers were murdered while
investigating suspicious persons or circumstances
and nine were killed responding to "disturbance
calls" involving such things as family quarrels,
man with gun, etc. Seven officers were slain while
they were transporting or otherwise engaged in
custody of prisoners.

In 1971, 49 officers were slain in the Southern
States, 28 in the North Central States, 26 in the
Northeastern States, and 23 in the Western
States. The following chart shows the number of
law enforcement officers killed by region for each
of the two five-year periods, 1962-1966 and
1967-1971.

Weapom Used

One hundred twenty-one of the police murders
in 1971 were perpetrated through use of firearms.
Of these deaths, 94 were caused through the use of
handguns, 16 with rifles, and shotguns were used
to kill eleven of the officers. Eleven percent (or 14)
of the officers slain had their own weapons used
against them by the assailants. Two policemen
met death as a result of being assaulted with
knives, while two officers were killed through the
use of personal weapons when they were beaten
with hands, fists, feet, etc. One officer was felon-
iously killed through the use of an automobile,
when he was run down and dragged by the
offender.

During the period 1962-1971, firearms were used
by felons to commit 96 percent of the police
killings. Seventy-three percent of the weapons used
were handguns. Specifically, of the 722 law
enforcement officers slain by criminal action during
this period, 530 were killed through use of hand-
guns, 84 v/ith shotguns, 76 with rifles, eight with
knives, two with bombs, nine with personal weap-
ons such as hands, fists, and feet, and thirteen by
other means such as clubs, automobiles, etc. A
total of 93 officers, or thirteen percent, were
murdered with their own handguns.

The preceding table shows the type of weapons
used to kill officers from 1962 through 1971.

Profile of Victim Officers

During the period 1962-1966, ninety-two per-
cent of the officers were white and six percent were
Negro. The median years of service were five and
one-half. Thirteen percent of the victim officers
had one year or less service. Forty-one percent
had less than five years of service, 29 percent had

5 to 10 years of service, and 30 percent had more
than ten years.

During the period 1967-1971 eighty-five per-
cent of the victims were white and 14 percent were
Negro. The median years of service was five and
one-half. Fourteen percent of the victims had one
year or less of service, 45 percent had less than 5
years of service, 27 percent had 5 to 10 years of
service, and 28 percent over ten years of service.

For the entire ten-year period, 1962-1971, 87
percent of the officers were white and twelve
percent Negro. The median years of service for the
entire period was five and one-half. Thirteen
percent had one year or less service, 43 percent
had less than 5 years of service, 28 percent had
five to ten years, and 29 percent had over ten
years of service.

Types of Assigrtment

Officers who are assigned patrol duties within
law enforcement organizations have the most haz-
ardous type of assignment. During the course of
his duties the patrol officer is frequently in contact
with suspicious persons who are in automobiles or
on foot. Each of these situations constitutes a
threat to the officer's personal safety. The patrol
officer is readily identifiable because of his uniform

44

and/or patrol vehicle. The patrol officer cannot
hide his presence or official capacity, and fre-
quently must determine quickly and accurately if
a person is involved in a criminal act, and if that
person constitutes a danger to his, the officer's,
personal safety. The patrol officer does not have
the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, which other people
not immediately involved, constantly utilize. The
patrol officer also risks attack through frequent
encounters with criminal offenders at or near
crime scenes. These perils are in a large measure
substantiated by the fact that officers assigned to
patrol duty are the most frequent targets of the
police killer. Officers assigned in other capacities
are confronted with equally tense and dangerous
types of situations while performing their duties,
but not with the same frequency.

During 1971, 81 patrol officers were slain.
Seventy-four of these officers were assigned to
patrol cars while seven were foot patrolmen.
Thirty officers were detectives or officers on special
assignments. During 1971, in the highest tradi-
tion of the law enforcement profession, 15 officers
while in an off-duty status were taking appropriate
police action concerning crimes committed in their
presence when they were slain. During the period
1962-1971, 70 percent or 508 of the 722 officers
slain by felons were assigned to patrol duties. In
1971, 39 of the on-duty officers were alone and
unassisted when killed. During the period 1962-
1971, 34 percent or 246 of the officers were alone
when they sacrificed their lives for the community
they were sworn to protect. Information is set
forth in the following table concerning types of
assignment and circumstances involved in connec-
tion with the murders of officers during the periods
of 1962-1966 and 1967-1971.

Time of Murder

The month of February proved to be the most
dangerous for law enforcement officers during
1971. During this month 19 officers were feloni-
ously slain.

In 1971, as in previous years, Friday continued
to be the most dangerous day of the week for law
enforcement officers. During the period 1962-1971,
one hundred thirty officers were killed on Friday,
106 on Saturday, 106 on Sunday, 101 Monday,
98 Thursday, 93 Wednesday, and 88 on Tuesday.

During the period 1967-1971, Friday was the
most dangerous day with 76 officers slain followed
by Monday with 66, Sunday 65, Tuesday 65,
Thursday 63, Saturday 62, and Wednesday 55.

During the period 1962-1971, 71 percent of all
killings of law enforcement officers occurred be-
tween 4:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. The most dangerous
times were between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. when
61 officers were slain and from 10:00 p.m. until
11:00 p.m. when 58 officers were murdered.

Criminal Offenders

Law enforcement cleared 115 of the 126 police
murders that occurred in calendar year 1971. One
hundred seventy-four offenders were identified in
connection with these crimes. Forty-two percent
of the offenders were white and 58 percent Negro.

During the period 1962-1971, 722 officers were
slain; 975 offenders were identified, clearing 96
percent of these killings. Seventy-seven percent of
the offenders had prior arrests for criminal charges,
with sixty-one percent of the offenders having been
convicted of those charges. Forty-three percent
had prior arrests for violent types of crime such as
murder, rape, armed robbery, aggravated assault,
etc. Sixty-one percent of those who had pre-
viously been convicted on criminal charges had
been granted leniency in the form of parole or
probation. Twenty-nine percent of the previously
convicted offenders were on parole or probation
when they were involved mth the murder of an
officer. Eleven percent of the offenders had a prior
arrest for a narcotics charge and nine percent had
prior arrests for police assault.

Ninety-six percent were male and four percent
female. During this ten-year period, 52 percent
of the offenders were white and 48 percent were
Negro.

For the period, 1968-1970, 343 known persons
were involved in connection with the killing of
239 law enforcement officers. Forty-six offenders
or 13 percent were killed at the scene of the crime
or soon thereafter, five committed suicide, and five
offenders are known fugitives. A total of 287
individuals or 84 percent were arrested and
charged in connection with these police killings.
There were 162 offenders or 56 percent found
guilty of murder. Available court disposition
data discloses that 27 were sentenced to the death
penalty, 81 were sentenced to life imprisonment,
53 received prison terms ranging from four to 200
years, and one offender received a sentence of
five years probation. Twenty-seven offenders were
found guilty of lesser offenses such as manslaugh-
ter, assault, etc. Eighteen offenders were found
guilty of other crimes committed such as robbery.

assailants were killed at the crime site or within
a short time after the murder was committed; 21
committed suicide shortly after the killing and
four died from other causes.

Between 1962 and 1971 the offenders ranged
in age from thirteen years to 82. During this
period the median age of these offenders was 25
years. Fifty-three percent were between the ages
of 20 and 30. Seven percent, or 64 were under the
age of 18 and 20 was the most common age of the
police killers. In 1971, the one hundred seventy-
four offenders identified with police killings had
a median age of 23. Sixty-three percent of these
persons were between the ages of 20 and 30.
Twelve of the persons committing these fatal
attacks were under the age of 18.

Department.

Among the states, New York ranked highest
with 16 officers killed while safeguarding life
and property. The state of Texas followed closely
with 15 officers killed. The state of California was
third with 14 officers slain followed by Michigan
where 8 officers died by means of a felonious act.

Accidental Deaths

Three hundred fifty-seven law enforcement
officers have died as a result of accidents occurring
in the line of duty during the past nine-year
period, 1962-1970. In 1971, 52 additional officers
died, -bringing the total number of such
deaths from 1962 through 1971 to 409. These
officers are not included in the preceding informa-
tion concerning law enforcement officers who
were killed as a result of felonious criminal
action. The leading cause of accidental deaths in
the law enforcement profession is automobile
accidents which have claimed the lives of 209
officers. Seventy-five officers have been killed in
accidents involving motorcycles. Fifty officers
died as a result of accidents while they were
directing traffic or while they were at the scene
of a previous accident. The other deaths occurred
when firearms were accidentally discharged, heli-

49

copter and plane crashes, falls, etc. These types
of accidents claimed the lives of 14 officers in
1971.

ASSAULTS ON OFFICERS

One of the serious problems facing law enforce-
ment toda^' is the attitude of disrespect for the
police and the failure of citizens to come to the aid
of the officers being attacked as they attempt to
perform their lawful duties. These duties often
necessitate confrontations with emotionally aroused
citizens protesting real or imagined grievances.
These situations have, in a large measure, ac-
counted for the increasing number of assaults on
police. There was an estimated total of 75,400
assaults on police in 1971. Nationally, there were
18.7 assaults for every 100 officers in 1971; 18.7
in 1970, 16.9 in 1969, and 15.8 in 1968. While the
national assault rate remained at the same level as
in 1970 — 18.7 assaults for every 100 officers — the

total number of estimated assaults increased by
more than 2,000. The Pacific, South Atlantic, and
East North Central States had an assault rate of
23 for every 100 officers, while the East South
Central States had a rate of 21.

While every assault does not result in personal
injury to the police officer, many of them — 35
percent in 1971 — did result in physical harm to
the officer and usually in loss of duty time. The
national assault-with-injury rate of 6.6 per 100
officers indicates the continuing hazards of the law
enforcement profession. In 1971, 81 percent of the
police assaults were by use of hands, fists, feet,
teeth, etc. When weapons were used in committing
these assaults, firearms were used in 35 percent, a
knife or cutting instrument in 18 percent, and
blunt objects or other weapons in 47 percent.
Table 59 sets out police assault rates for geographic
divisions and population groups for 1971.

INTRODUCTION

Background

The Uniform Crime Reporting Program is the
outgi-owth of a need for a national and uniform
compihition of hiw enforcement statistics. This
need was expressed by law enforcement executives
many years ago. In 1930, crime reports were solic-
ited from law enforcement agencies throughout
the Nation based on uniform classifications and
])rocedures developed by the Committee on Uni-
form Crime Records of tlie International Associa-
tion of Chiefs of Police (lACP). In that year the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), on request
of the above organization, assumed the role as
the national clearinghouse.

The Committee on Uniform Crime Records,
lACP, continues to serve in an advisory capacity
to the FBI in the operation of this Program. In
this connection, the Field Service Division of the
lACP is also l)laying an active and effective part
in quality control through surveys of police
records and crime reporting systems. Dr. Peter P.
Lejins, Professor, De])artment of Sociology, Uni-
versity of Maryland, continues as a consultant to
the FBI in the conduct of this Program.

The National Sheriff's Association (NSA) in
June, 1966, established a Committee on Uniform
Crime Records to serve in an advisory capacity to
the NSA membership and the national Uniform
Crime Reporting Program. This Committee
actively encourages sheriffs throughout the coun-
try to fvdly participate in this important Program.

Committees on Uniform Crime Rejjorting with-
in state law enforcement associations are active in
providing service by |)romoting interest in the
Uniform Crime Reporting Program, fostering
more widespread and more intelligent use of
miiform crime statistics, and by lenthng assistance
to contributors when the need exists.

In the last several years, the FBI has been
actively assisting inchvichud states in the develop-
ment of statewide programs of police statistics
comi)atible with tlie national system. These
statistical programs have been given im])etus by
developing statewide comi)uterizcd law enforce-
ment hiformation systems, of which they are an

essential part. Through such mandatory state
programs more complete and a better quality of
reporting is envisioned. Likewise, through coordi-
nation with the state agency the data is available
for the use of the state, and the collection machin-
ery to the national agency is substantially
streamlined.

Each state Uniform Crime Reporting Program
needs mandatory authority to collect police
statistics from law enforcement agencies. Although
this usually requires specific authorizing legisla-
tion, such systems may be based on general
intergovernmental powers and/or imposed by
executive order or regulation.

In 1969, the FBI ceased the collection of all
data directly from municipalities and counties
in New Jersey and Michigan. In California the
FBI no longer collects the monthly offenses
known reports direct from law enforcement
agencies; however, the annual arrest, disposition
of persons charged, and law enforcement em-
ployee reports continue to be collected direct
from the individual law enforcement agencies.
During the 1969-1971 period, nine additional
states began collecting all Uniform Crime Re-
l)orting data from individual law enforcement
agencies. These states are Kentucky, Rhode
Island, Illinois, Pennsylvania,Minnesota,Nebraska,
Florida, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Dela-
ware. At least 20 additional states have enacted
necessary legislation to establish State Uniform
Oime Rei)orting Programs. Most of these states
are actively working with the FBI in an effort to
establish their systems in 1972. The conditions
imder which these systems are established are as
follows:

(1) The state program must conform to the
national Uniform Crime Reports standards and
information required. This, of course, does not
l)rohibit the state from collecting other statistical
data beyond the national collection. (2) The
state agenc}' must have a ])roven effective manda-
tory statewide program and have instituted
acceptable quality control procedures. (3) Cov-
erage within the state by a state agency must

53

at least be equal to that attained by Uniform
Crime Reports. (4) The state agency must have
adequate field staff assigned to assist local units
in record practices and crime reporting procedures.
(5) The state agency must furnish to the FBI
all of the detailed data regularly collected by the
FBI in the form of duplicate returns, computer
printouts, and/or magnetic tape. (6) The state
must have the proven capabilit}^ (tested over a
period of time) to supply all the statistical data
required to the FBI in time to meet national
Uniform Crime Reports publication deadhnes.
(7) The FBI will continue its internal procedures
of verifying and reviewing individual agency
reports for both completeness and quality. (8)
The FBI will continue to have direct contact
with individual reporting units within the state
where necessary in connection with crime re-
porting matters, but will coordinate such contacts
with the state agency. (9) Upon request, the
FBI will continue its training programs within
the state with respect to police records and
crime reporting ]5rocedures. For mutual benefit
these will be coordinated with the state agency.
(10) Should circumstances develop whereby the
state agency cannot provide the data required
by the national program, the FBI will reinstitute
a direct collection of Uniform Crime Reports
from police units within the state.

Objectives

The fundamental objective of this Program is to
produce a reliable fund of nationwide criminal
statistics for administrative and o]ierational use
of law enforcement agencies and executives. At
the same time, meaningful data is ])rovided for
other professionals with related interests in the
crime problem and for scholars, as well as to
inform the public, of general crime conditions.

Specifically, the means utilized to attain these
goals are; (1) An attemjjt is made to measure the
extent, fluctuation, and distribution of serious
crime in the United States tlu'ougii the use of a
Crime Index consisting of seven selected offenses.
This count is based on tliese se\en offenses being
reported to the iiolice or coming directly to their
attention; (2) the total volume of all types of
criminal offenses is comjjiled as tliey become known
by police agencies; (3) since the above are also
measures of law enforcement activity, related
data is collected to demonstrate effectiveness of
enforcement activities, available jjolice strength,
and significant factors involved in crime.

Reporting Procedure

Under this national voluntary system each
contributing law enforcement agency is wholly
responsible for compiling its own crime rei)orts for
submission to the FBI. Each contributor is
supplied with the Uniform Crime Reporting
Handbook which outlines in detail procedures
for scoring and classifying offenses. The Hand-
book illustrates and discusses the monthly and
annual reporting forms as well as the numerous
tally sheets made available to facilitate the peri-
odic tabulation of the desired data.

The publication of the Uniform Crime Re-
porting "Newsletter," wliich was initiated in
October, 1963, has continued with issues being
jjublished when pertinent. This "Newsletter" is
utilized to explain revisions in the Program as
well as to present information and instructional
material to assist contributors.

Recognizing that a sound records system is
necessary if crime reporting is to meet desirable
standards, the FBI furnishes a Manual of Police
Records to law enforcement agencies upon re-
quest. Special Agents of the FBI are widely
utilized to encourage new contributors and to
assist them by explaining the procedures and
definitions necessary under the uniform system.

On a monthly basis, law enforcement agencies
(police, sheriffs, and state police) report the num-
ber of offenses that became known to them during
the month in the following crime categories:
murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, man-
slaughter by negligence, forcible rape, robbery,
assault, burglary, larceny, and auto theft. This
count is taken from a record of all complaints of
crimes received by the law enforcement agency
from victims, other sources, and/or discovered by
officers. Whenever complaints of crime are deter-
mined through investigation to be unfounded or
false they are eliminated from this count. The
number of "offenses known" in these crime cate-
gories is rei)orted to the FBI without regard to
whether anyone is arrested for the crime, stolen
projjerty recovered, local prosecutive pohcy, or
any other consideration. Law enforcement agen-
cies on a monthly basis rei)ort the total number
of these reported crimes which they clear either
by arrest or by excejitional means. A separate
count of crimes cleared which involve only ])er-
sons under the age of 18 is shown. Law enforce-
ment agencies also report the number of justifi-
able homicides which occur, the number of law

54

enforcement officers killed, and the value of prop-
erty stolen and recovered during the month.
Total ai rests are also reported for all criminal
acts, except traffic, separated as to adults and
juveniles.

On an annual basis law enforcement agencies
provide detailed arrest reports on persons arrested
for all criminal offenses, except traffic, with respect
to the age, sex, and race of the offenders, as well
as a report on the number of persons formally
charged and their ultimate disposition. Law
enforcement employee data specifically encom-
passes the number of sworn and other personnel,
and is collected as of December 31 each year.
During the initial stages of the development of
state programs the state authority is encouraged
to have law enforcement agencies report the
detailed arrest data by crime category, age, sex,
and race, and the report concerning the number
of persons formally charged and the disposition of
such charges on a monthlj- basis. In January,
1972, a monthly collection was instituted con-
cerning the number of law enforcement officers
assaulted by type of assignment. Additional
information relative to the type of weapon used,
the circumstances of the assault, and whether or
not the victim officer sustained injury is also
collected.

Reporting Area

During calendar year 1971, crime reports were
received from law enforcement agencies represent-
ing 98 percent of the total United States popula-
tion living in standard metropolitan statistical
areas, 89 percent of the population in other cities,
and 75 percent of the rural population. The com-
bined coverage accounts for 93 percent of the
national population.

Presentation of crime data by areas as used in
this publication follows as closely as practical the
definitions used by the Office of Management and
Budget and the Bureau of the Census for standard
metropolitan statistical areas and other cities.
There is, however, some deviation insofar as the
rural area is concerned. For crime reporting pur-
poses rural is generally the unincorporated portion
of a county outside of standard metropolitan sta-
tistical areas. In addition, statistics are presented
in certain tables relative to "suburban" areas. A
suburban area consists of cities with 50,000 or less
population together with counties which are within
a standard metropolitan statistical area. In this
use of suburban, the core city experience is, of

course, excluded. The suburban area concept is
used because of the particular crime conditions
which exist in these communities smrounding the
major core cities.

Standard metropolitan statistical areas are gen-
erally made up of an entire county or counties
having at least one core city of 50,000 or more
inhabitants, \vith the whole meeting the require-
ments of certain metropolitan characteristics. In
New England, "town" instead of "county" is used
to describe standard metropolitan statistical areas.
These towns do not coincide generally with estab-
lished crime reporting units; therefore, metropoli-
tan state economic areas in New England are used
in these area tabulations since they encompass an
entire county or counties. Standard metropolitan
statistical areas, as used in this publication, make
up approximately 71 percent of the total United
States population.

Other cities are urban places outside standard
metropolitan statistical areas. Most of these places
of 2,500 or more inhabitants are incorporated and
comprise 11 percent of the 1971 population. Rural
areas are made up of the unincorporated portions
of counties outside of urban places and standard
metropolitan statistical areas and represent 18 per-
cent of our national population. Throughout this
Program, sheriffs, county police, and many state
police report on crimes committed within the limits
of the counties but outside cities, while local police
report on crime committed within the city limits
(urban places).

Verification Processes

Uniformity of crime data collected under this
Program is of primary concern to the FBI as the
national clearinghouse. With the receipt of reports
covering appro.ximately 9,600 jurisdictions, pre-
pared on a voluntary basis, the problems of at-
taining uniformity are readily apparent. Issuance
of instructions does not complete the role of the
FBI. On the contrary, it is standard operating pro-
cedure to examine each incoming report not only
for arithmetical accuracy but also, and possibly of
even more importance, for reasonableness as a pos-
sible indication of errors.

Variations in the level and ratios among the
crime classes established by previous reports of
each agency are used as a measure of possible or
probable incompleteness or changes in reporting
policy. Necessary arithmetical adjustments or un-
usual variations are brought to the attention of the
submitting agency by correspondence. During

55

1971, 22,000 communications were addressed to
contributors primarily as a result of editing and
evaluation processes. Correspondence with con-
tributors is the principal tool for supervision of
quaUty. Not only are the individual reports stud-
ied, but also periodic trends for individual report-
ing units are prepared, as are crime rates in
descending order for all units grouped for general
comparabiUty to assist in detecting variations and
fluctuations possibly due to some reason other
than chance. For the most part, the problem is one
of keeping the contributors informed of the type
information necessary to the success of this
Program.

The eUmination of duplication of crime report-
ing by the various agencies is given constant
attention. In addition to detailed instructions as
to the limits of reporting jurisdictions between
sheriffs and police in urban places, lists of urban
places by county are furnished to sheriffs, county
police, and in some instances state police organiza-
tions.

Uniform Crime Reporting has been taught to all
law enforcement officers attending the FBI Na-
tional Academy. The Academy was established in
1935, and there are 3,223 graduates who are still in
law enforcement, 28 percent of whom are the
executive heads of law enforcement agencies. The
FBI also schedules Uniform Crime Reporting
seminars and workshops throughout the country
for law enforcement.

Contacts by Special Agents of the FBI are
utilized to enlist the cooperation of new contribu-
tors and to explain the purpose of this Program
and the methods of assembling information for
reporting. When correspondence, including spe-
cially designed questionnaires fail, Special Agents
may be directed to visit the contributor to affirma-
tively resolve the misunderstanding.

Variations from the desired reporting standards
which cannot be resolved by the steps indicated
above are brought to the attention of the Com-
mittee on Uniform Crime Records of the lACP.
The Committee may designate a representative
to make a personal visit to the local department
to assist in the needed revision of records and
reporting methods.

It is clear, of course, that regardless of the
extent of the statistical verification processes
used by the FBI, the accuracy of the data assem-
bled under this Program depends upon the degree
of sincere effort exerted by each contributor to

meet the necessary standards of reporting, and
for this reason, the FBI is not in a position to
vouch for the validity of the reports received.

The Crime Totals

Communities not represented by crime reports
are relatively few, as discussed previously and
as shown by an examination of the tables which
foUow presenting 1971 crime totals for the Index
of Crime classifications. The FBI conducts a
continuing program to further reduce the unre-
ported areas. The continuing development and
implementation of mandatory state Uniform
Crime Reporting Programs will virtually elimi-
nate unreported areas.

Within each of the three areas — standard
metropolitan statistical, other urban, and rural —
it is assumed that the unreported portion had the
same proportionate crime experience as that for
which reports were received. In lieu of figures
for the entire year from those agencies, reports
for as many as 9 months are accepted as suffi-
ciently representative on which to base estimates
for the year. Estimates for unreported areas
are based on the reported crime experience of
similar areas within each state. Certain refinements
are made of this basic estimating procedure as
the need arises.

Crime Trends

Crime data for trends are homogeneous to the
extent that figures from identical reporting
units are used for each of the periods tabulated.
In all trend tabulations only those reporting
units are used which have provided comparable
data for the period under consideration. National,
geographic, and area trends are always established
on the basis of 2 consecutive years. Exclusions
from trend computations are made when figures
from a reporting unit are obviously inaccurate
for any period or when it is ascertained that
unusual fluctuations are due to such variables as
improved records procedures and not to chance.

As a matter of standard procedure crime trends
for individual places are analyzed five times a
year by the FBI. Any significant increase or de-
crease is made the subject of a special inquiry with
the contributing agency. In 1971, for example
more than 2,300 letters were sent to police adminis-
trators of contributing agencies inquiring as to the
reason for significant increases or decreases in
pertinent crime classifications. The communica-
tion containing this inquiry specifically directs

56

attention to possible changes in records or report-
ing procedures. When it is found that crime re-
porting procedures are in j^art responsible for the
diiTerence in the level of crime, the figures for
specific crime categories or totals are excluded from
the trend tabulations. Year-to-year trends in
Uniform Crime Reports are valid and may be
used to reasonably establish long-term trends as
well as to re-estimate crime volume and reconstruct
crime trends for prior years. It can be assumed
logically that the current year is the most com-
plete in terms of volume. Trend or percent change
as established by comparable imits tor each two-year
period is then applied as the basis for reestimating
the volume of crime for prior years.

On the other hand, crime rate tables by state
and standard metropolitan statistical area con-
tain the most reliable reports available for the cur-
rent year, and care should be exercised in any
direct comparisons with i)rior issues. Changes in
crime level may have been due in part to improved
reporting or records procedures rather than to
chance.

Population Data

In computing crime rates by state, geographic
division, standard metropolitan statistical area,
and the Nation as a whole, population estimates
released by the Bureau of the Census on July 1,
1971, were used. Population estimates for in-
dividual cities and counties were prepared using
special census reports, state sources and estimates,
commercial sources, and extrapolation where no
other estimate was available. Complete 1971
population estimates for individual cities and
counties were used from 10 states while official
sources in other states provided limited data
which was used selectively. The estimated United
States population increase in 1971 was one per-
cent over 1970 according to the figures published
by the Bureau of the Census.

Classification of Offenses

A problem area in connection with a uniform
national crime reporting system in the United
States results from variations in definitions of
criminal violations among the states. This obstacle,
insofar as uniformity of definitions is concerned,
was removed by the adoption of a standard set
of crime classifications. To some extent the title
of each classification generally connotes its con-
tent. However, in reading the explanation of
each category, it is ver}' important to keep in

mind that because of the differences among
the state codes there is no possibility in a system
such as this to distinguish between crimes by
designations such as "felony" and "misdemeanor."

A continuing program is carried out to furnish
contributors ^vith timely supplemental instructions
as the need arises in certain classifications. These
are aimed at the clarification of any misunder-
standings which may arise and the redirection
of attention to the proper application of classifica-
tion procedures under this system.

Brief definitions of crime classifications utilized
in this Program are listed below:

1. Criminal homicide. — (a) Murder and nonnegli-
gent manslaughter: all willful felonious homicides
as distinguished from deaths caused by negligence.
Excludes attempts to kill, assaults to kill, suicides,
accidental deaths, or justifiable homicides. Justi-
fiable homicides are hmited to: (1) the killing of a
person by a peace officer in line of duty; (2) the
killing of a pei-son in the act of committing a felony
by a private citizen, (b) Manslaughter by negH-
gence: any death which the police investigation
establishes was primarily attributable to gross
negligence of some individual other than the
victim.

2. Forcible rape. — Rape by force, assault to rape
and attempted rape. Excludes statutory offenses
(no force used — victim under age of consent).

3. Robbery. — Stealing or taking anything of value
from the care, custody, or control of a person by
force or violence or by putting in fear, such as
strong-arm robbery, stickups, armed robbery,
assaults to rob, and attempts to rob.

4. Assravated assault. — Assault with intent to kill
or for the purpose of inflicting severe bodily injury
by shooting, cutting, stabbing, maiming, poison-

other means. Includes attempts. Excludes simple
assault, assault and battery, fighting, etc.

5. Burglary. — breaking or entering — Burglary,
housebreaking, safecracking, or any breaking or
unlawful entry of a structure with the intent to
commit a felony or a theft. Includes attempts.

6. Larceny. — theft (except auto theft) — (a) Fifty
dollars and over in value; (b) under $50 in value.
Thefts of bicycles, automobile accessories, shop-
lifting, pocket-picking, or any stealing of property
or article of value which is not taken by force and
violence or by fraud. Excludes embezzlement,
"con" games, forgery, worthless checks, etc.

57

472-311 0-72-5

without intent to defraud. Includes attempts.

10. Forgery and counterfeiting. — Making, altering,
uttering or possessing, with intent to defraud, any-
thing false which is made to appear true. Includes
attempts.

11. Fraud. — Fraudulent conversion and obtaining
money or property by false pretenses. Includes
bad checks except forgeries and counterfeiting.

12. Embezzlement. — Misappropriation or mis-
application of money or property entrusted to
one's care, custody, or control.

13. Stolen property," buying, receiving, possessing. —
Buying, receiving, and possessing stolen property
and attempts.

The Index of Crime, 1971

In this section, tabulations are shown to in-
dicate the probable extent, fluctuation, and
distribution of crime for the United States as a
whole, geographic divisions, individual states,
and standard metropolitan statistical areas. The
measure used is a Crime Index consisting of seven
important offenses which are counted as they
become known to the law enforcement agencies.
Crime classifications used in the Index are:
murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible
rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary —
breaking or entering, larceny $50 and over, and
auto theft.

The total number of criminal acts that occur
is unknown, but those that are reported to the
police provide the fust means of a count. Not all
crimes come readily to the attention of the police ;
not all crimes are of sufficient importance to be
significant in an index; and not all important
crimes occur with enough regularity to be mean-
ingful in an index. With these considerations in
mind, the above crimes were selected as a group

to furnish an abbreviated and convenient measure
of the crime jjroblem.

It is important to remember in reviewing the
tables in this section that the volume of crime in
a state or standard metropolitan statistical area
is subject to the factors set forth on page VII.
Estimates of current permanent population are
used to construct crime rates. With our highly
mobile population all communities, metropolitan
areas, and states are affected to a greater or lesser
degree by the element of transient population.
This factor is not accounted for in crime rates
since no reliable estimates by state are available
nationwide.

Tables are presented showing the comparative
crime experience by population group of subur-
ban cities having 50,000 or less inhabitants with
cities of the same size isolated from suburban areas.
The effects of being a part of the metropolitan
fringe can be readily discerned by a review of
these tables.

General United States Crinrte Statistics

The data presented in this section are primarily
of value to law enforcement executives, news
media, and others for the purpose of comparing
the crime experience of a community with the
averages reported nationally by communities
of similar size. Crime trends and rates are
tabulated by grouping places according to pop-
ulation size. Police performance in clearing crimes
by arrest is presented by population group and
geographic division.

National city averages are also shown indi-
cating the type and value of the property stolen,
by offense and type, and value recovered by police
investigation. Robbery, burglary, and larceny-
theft are examined by type, as well as where and
when they occurred. An analysis is provided
showing weapons used to commit murders as well
as a distribution of murder victims by age, sex,
and race. Dispositions made of persons formally
charged for all criminal offenses are set forth in
Table 15 and disposition data on juvenile offend-
ers is provided by population group in Table 18.

City, suburban, and rural arrest rates are shown
for all criminal offenses. Arrest rates by popula-
tion group are also listed for specific offenses.

This is another step in building totals for crime
categories other than those in the Crime Index and
in presenting crimes known to the police through
arrests.

Statistical data relating to suburban areas are
provided for the use of law enforcement officials
in suburban communities in making limited com-
parisons. Places used to establish totals for sub-
urban areas include cities with 50,000 or less
population together with county law enforcement
agencies in standard metropolitan statistical areas.
Of course, the crime experience of the large core
city is excluded.

It is important to remember in studying
averages that usually about half the units used
must be above and about half below. National
averages can provide the police administrator
with valuable guidance in analyzing the local
crime count, as well as the performance of his
force in combating crime. The analysis, however,
does not end with such a comparison, for it is
only through an appraisal of local conditions that
a clear picture of the community crime problem or
the effectiveness of the police operation is possible.

Arrest Data

Tables in the following section provide certain
personal characteristics of individuals arrested for
all criminal acts. Arrest rates and trends are shown
for city, suburban, and rural areas, as well as the
United States as a whole. Tabulations are pub-
lished containing characteristics of persons ar-
rested by age, sex, and race.

Arrest statistics are collected annually from
contributing law enforcement agencies and the
figures used in the tables this year were submitted
by agencies representing 75 percent of the United
States population. In using these arrest figures it
is important to remember that the same person
may be arrested several times during one year for
the same type or for different offenses. Each arrest
is counted. Further, the arrest of one person may
solve several crimes and, in other instances, two

or more persons may be arrested during the solu-
tion of one crime.

Arrests are primarily a measure of police activity,
as it relates to crime. Although police arrest
practices vary, particularly with respect to juve-
niles, contributors to this Program are instructed
to count one arrest each time an individual is taken
into custody for committing a specific crime. A
juvenile is counted as a person arrested when he
commits an offense and the circumstances are such
that if the offender were an adult, an arrest would
be made.

Arrest data, while primarily a measure of law
enforcement activity, is also a gauge of criminal-
ity when used within its limitations, as must be
done with all forms of criminal statistics, including
court and penaJ.

Police Employee Data

This section contains tables relating to police
personnel. Figures showing police strength by
number of full-time police officers and civilian
employees are based on national averages. These
figures should not be interpreted as indicating
recommended or desirable police strength. Ade-
quate poHce requirements for a specific place can
only be determined following careful study and
analysis of the local situation together with a
thorough evaluation of the numerous factors
which affect police needs.

Two tables containing police employee rates
are set forth. In the first, total emploj-ees including
ci^^lian personnel are used; whereas, in the second
table, only sworn personnel are used to compute
rates.

The police employee rate ranges in Table 51,
which include civilians, show the interquartile
range between the upper limits of the lowest
quartile and the lower limits of the highest quartile.
In other words, 50 percent of the cities shown in
each population group and geographic division
have a police strength within the rate ranges
shown. By arraying rates in this manner, extremes
are eliminated.

In Table 52, where rates are published for police
officers, complete rate ranges are provided as
supplemental data for those who may be interested
in using these figures to make limited comparisons.

Statistical data indicating the percent distri-
bution of police employees by sex, including
civihan personnel, are included in Table 53.

Table 54 contains figures relating to police
patrols by population groups and shift assignments.

Another table is presented showing police
strength for all state police and state highway
patrol organizations. This table is designed to
show, by state, the number of miles of state and
Federal highway per sworn employee, as well as
the number of registered vehicles per officer.
These rates are only a rough yardstick as to com-
parative workload and personnel strength because
of widely differing functions and other factors.
The wide variations in sworn and civilian per-
sonnel among the various states can be accounted
for in part by the differences in responsibilities
assigned to the departments. It is pointed out, for
instance, that state police generally are respons-
ible not only for traffic patrol, but also conduct a
major portion of the criminal investigative work
in the unincorporated areas of the states. On the
other hand, the activities of the state highwaj^
patrol organizations for the most part are limited
to traffic and highway patrol, which includes
handling all types of crime which come to their
attention during the performance of their patrol
functions. Many of these state highway patrol
groups also are authorized to and do participate
in criminal investigative work when requested to
do so by local departments or sheriff's offices.

The annual collection of police employee data
provides figures for police killed and assaulted.
Collection of these data is supplemented with
respect to police killed in the line of duty through
the use of a special questionnaire, by means of
which additional details on this important subject
are accumulated. Data relative to police killed
and assaulted are also presented in the Summarj^
Section of this publication.
