r ore word
The crime information in the Uniform Crime Reporting publications which
date back to the commencement of this Program in 1930 is a testimonial to
the wisdom and progressive outlook of law enforcement administrators. The
Uniform Crime Reporting Program is the product of a voluntary cooperative
law enforcement effort to produce national crime statistics. Approximately
10,000 law enforcement agencies, covering 93 percent of the United States
population, submit monthly and annual reports to the FBI so that information
can be assembled to depict the current crime problem in the United States.
National crime information would not be available for use by local, state, and
Federal governments in planning and developing means of combatting the
crime problem without the voluntary participation of law enforcement agencies.
Uniform Crime Reports is a practical Program in that each contributing
law enforcement agency is responsible for submitting data in accordance \vith
national crime definitions and standards. Much of the quality in this Program
is directly related to the degree of adherence to Uniform Crime Reporting
standards. In order to improve the overall quaUty of the information collected
in the Program, the FBI in 1967 began encouraging the development of state
Uniform Crime Reporting Programs. Under this concept, states are encouraged
to pass mandatory crime reporting laws and designate a state criminal justice
agency to collect and verify submitted crime data. Currently 14 states are
operating such programs. As part of this concept, the state agency needs to
develop audit capability designed to ensure that each law enforcement agency
is following the national standards.
Each state which develops a Uniform Crime Reporting Program has local
and state information immediately available for planning, legislation, and
disbursement of funds. Through the use of such information state governments
can identify areas within the state criminal justice system that require ad-
ditional resources. This enables the crime control effort to isolate and more
effectively handle the problem.
The Law Enforcement Assistance Administration offers financial assistance
to states in connection wdth the development and estabUshment of such crime
reporting systems. As more and more states develop mandatory state systems,
the overall quality of crime data ^\'ill improve and the amount of information
available for use by those concerned with the administration of criminal justice
will increase.

Crime Factors
Crime is a social problem and the concern of the entire community. The
law enforcement effort is limited to factors within its control.
Uniform Crime Reports gives a nationwide view of crime based on police
statistics voluntarily contributed by local law enforcement agencies. The
factors which cause crime are many and vary from place to place throughout
the country. The reader of this publication is cautioned against comparing
statistical information of individual communities solely based on a similarity
in their population counts. Population is only one of many factors which must
be considered in a comparative study of crime. Some of the conditions which
affect the volume and type of crime that occurs from place to place are briefly
outlined as follows:
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.
Stabilitv' of population, including commuters, seasonal, and other
transient tj^pes.
Climate, including seasonal weather conditions.
Educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.
Effective strength of the police force.
Standards of appointments to the local police force.
Policies of the prosecuting officials.
Attitudes and policies of the courts and corrections.
Relationships and attitudes of law enforcement and the community.
Administrative and investigative efficiency of law enforcement, in-
cluding degree of adherence to crime reporting standards.
Organization and cooperation of adjoining and overlapping police
jurisdictions.
Vll
CRIME INDEX TOTALS
The offenses of murder, forcible rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, burglary, larceny $50 and
over in value, and auto theft are used to estabUsh
an Index in the Uniform Crime Reporting
Program, to measure the trend and distribution
of crime in the United States. These crimes are
counted by law enforcement agencies as they
become known and are reported on a monthly
basis. The Crime Index offenses were selected
as a measuring device 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.
The offenses of murder, forcible rape, aggravated
assault, and robbery make up the violent crime
category. The offenses of burglary, larceny $50
and over in value, and auto theft make up the
property crime category.
Law enforcement does not purport to know the
total volume of crime because of the many
criminal actions which are not reported to official
sources. Estimates as to the level of unreported
crime can be developed through costly victim
surveys but this does not eliminate the reluctance
of the victim to report all criminal actions to
law enforcement agencies. In light of this situa-
tion, the best source for obtaining useable crime
counts is the next logical universe which is the
offenses known to the police. The crimes used in
the Crime Index are those considered to be most
constantly reported and provide the capabihty
to compute meaningful crime trends and crime
rates.
The crime counts used in the Crime Index
and set forth in this publication are based on
actual offenses established by pohce investi-
gation. When the law enforcement agency receives
a complaint of a criminal matter and the follow-up
investigation discloses no crime occurred it is
"unfounded." On a national average, pojice
investigations "unfound" 4 percent of the com-
plaints concerning Crime Index offenses ranging
from 2 percent in the larceny classification to 15
percent in the forcible rape classification. These
unfounded complaints are eUminated from the
crime counts.
During calendar year 1972, an estimated
5,891,900 Crime Index offenses were reported to
law enforcement agencies. This is a 2 percent
decrease from 1971. The violent crime category
made up 14 percent of the Crime Index total and
increased 2 percent in volume over 1971. Murder
increased 5 percent, forcible rape 11 percent, and
aggravated assault 7 percent. Robbery declined
3 percent. The voluminous property crimes as a
group declined 2 percent. Auto theft decreased
6 percent, larceny $50 and over in value decreased
2 percent, and burglary was down 1 percent.
Since 1967 the violent crimes as a group have
increased 67 percent and the property crimes 53
percent. Crime, as measured by the Crime
Index offenses, has risen 55 percent in volume
during this five-year period.
The volume of crime as measured by the Crime
Index, reveals the large core cities having popula-
tion in excess of 250,000 recorded an 8 percent
decrease while the suburban areas recorded a 2
percent increase over 1971. The rural areas of the
United States registered a 4 percent increase.
The cities over 1,000,000 population reported a
decrease of 12 percent from the previous year.
Regionally in 1972, the Western States reported
a 2 percent increase in crime while the North-
eastern States registered a 7 percent decrease, the
North Central States a 1 percent decrease, and the
Southern States recorded a decrease of less than
1 percent.
The estimated 1972 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 of the United States in
1972 was 2,829 per 100,000 inhabitants. This was
a 3 percent decrease from the crime rate of 2,907
per 100,000 inhabitants in 1971. The national
crime rate, or the risk of being a victim of one of
these crimes, has increased 47 percent since 1967.
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 publica-
tion. A crime rate takes into consideration only
the numerical factor of population and does not
incorporate anj' of the other elements which
contribute to the amount of crime in a given area.
The statistical tables in this publication disclose
that the var^ang crime experiences, especially in
large cities and suburban communities, are affected
by a complex set of involved factors and are not
solely related to numerical population differences.

The tables set forth on these pages reveal the
variations in crime experience by geographic
region, large cities, suburban, and rural areas.
The crime rates, set forth in the National Crime
Rate and Percent Change table, for each of the
Crime Index offenses show a variation from a 10
percent increase in forcible rape to a 7 percent
decrease in auto theft. The number of crimes per
unit of population is highest in the large metro-
politan centers.
The accompanying charts illustrate the trend of
crime in the United States from 1967 through
1972 bj'' showing percent changes in volume and
crime rate together with the population increase.
Separate charts provide similar information rela-
tive to crimes of violence and crimes against prop-
erty. Since 1967, the violent crime rate has
increased 59 percent and the property crime rate
increased 45 percent. The violent crime group
includes murder, forcible rape, robbery, and ag-
gravated assault offenses. The property crime cate-

MURDER AND NONNEGLIGENT
MANSLAUGHTER
This Crime Index offense is defined in Uniform
Crime Reporting as the \\allful killing of another.
The classification in this offense, as in all of the
other Crime Index offenses, is based solely on
police investigation as opposed to the determina-
tion of a court, medical examiner, coroner, jury,
or other judicial body.
Deaths caused by negligence, suicide, accident,
or justifiable homicide are not included in the
count for this offense classification. Attempts to
murder or assaults to murder are scored as ag-
gravated assaults and not as murder.

a numerical increase of 890 over the 17,630
estimated homicide jffenses for 1971. The number
of murders in 1972 is approximately 2 percent of
the total for violent crime and less than one-half
of one percent of the total of the seven Crime
Index offenses.
An analysis of murder by month in 1972 shows
that the summer months had the greatest frequency
of murder as compared to any other period of the
year.
A geographical breakdown of murder by region
showed 44 percent of the murders occurred in the
Southern States, 21 percent in the North Central
States, 20 percent in the Northeastern States,
and 15 percent in the Western States.
Trend
The number of murders increased 5 percent in
1972 over 1971. The trend in this crime classifica-
tion reveals an increase from 12,130 in 1967 to
18,520 m 1972. This is an increase of 53 percent.
(Chart 4)
Kegionally, the number of murder offenses in
1972 increased 11 percent in the Western States,
8 percent in the Northeastern States, and 5 per-
cent in the Southern States. The number of mur-
ders decreased approximately 1 percent in the
North Central States.
An analysis, by population grouping, of murder
shows that large core cities of 250,000 or more in-
habitants had a 4 percent increase in the number
of murders in 1972, the suburban areas experi-
enced an 11 percent increase in murder offenses,
and the rural areas had a 2 percent increase.
Murder Rate
In 1972, there were 8.9 victims of murder
for every 100,000 inhabitants in the nation. This
was an increase of 5 percent over the murder rate
of 8.5 per 100,000 inhabitants recorded in 1971.
By population gi'ouping, the cities with 250,000
or more inhabitants reported a murder rate of 19.7
victims per 100,000 inhabitants, the suburban
areas showed a rate of 4.6 and the rural areas a
rate of 7.4 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The number of murder victims in proportion
to population was highest in the Southern States
with 12.6 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. This
is an increase of 3 percent over the murder rate
of that Region in 1971. In 1972, the Western
States showed a murder rate of 7.7, an increase of
10 percent over the rate in 1971 for that Region.
The Northeastern States had a rate of 7.3 which
was a 7 percent increase over the 1971 rate for
those states. The North Central Region had a
rate of 6.8, a decrease of 1 percent in comparison
to the 1971 rate.
Nature of Murder
The law enforcement agencies which partici-
pate in Uniform Crime Reporting cooperate in
providing additional information regardmg homi-
cide so that a more in-depth analysis of this offense
can be made. Through a supplemental reporting
system, information is provided regarding the age,
sex, and race of the victim ; the weapon used in the
murder; and the circumstances surrounding the
offense.
The victims of murder in 1972 were male in
approximately four out of five instances. This
ratio of male to female victims is similar to the
experience in the last several years. Approximately
45 out of 100 murder victims were white, 53 were
Negro, and 2 percent other races. The largest
number of murders occurring in any ten year age
bracket was in the 20 to 29 group \\ith three of
every ten murder victims.
In 1972, firearms again predominated as the
weapon most often used in homicide in the nation.
The accompanying chart illustrates a breakdown
by type of weapon used in the commission of
murder in the nation. Firearms were used more
frequently in the Southern States than in any
other region with firearms used in more than seven
of every ten murders. Nationwide, 66 percent of
the homicides were committed through the use of
firearms and 54 percent were committed with
handguns. In 1971, 51 percent of the murders were
through the use of handguns.
Cutting or stabbing weapons were used in 19
percent of the murders in the nation. The North-
eastern States reported the greatest use of knives

or cutting instruments with three out of every
ten murders being committed with this type of
weapon. The North Central and Southern States
had the least incidence of use of this type of weapon
with less than two out of every ten murders.
Other weapons (blunt objects, poisons, explosives,
arson, drowning, etc.) were used in 7 percent of
the homicides and the remaining 8 percent of the
murders were the result of use of personal
weapons such as hands, fists, feet, etc.
A comparative study for the past seven years
shows an increase from 60 percent of all homicides
through use of firearms in 1966 to 66 percent of
all homicides in 1972. A comparative analysis of
weapons used to commit murder for 1966 through
1972 is shown in tabular form.
The circumstances which result in murder vary
from family arguments to felonious activities.
Criminal homicide is largely a societal problem
which is beyond the control of poUce. The circum-
stances of murder serve to emphasize this point.
In 1972, murder within the family made up ap-
proximately one-fourth of all murder offenses.
Over one-half of these family kilhngs involved
spouse killing spouse. The remainder were parents
kilUng children and other in-family killings.
Felony murder in Uniform Crime Reporting is
defined as those killings resulting from robbery,
sex motive, gangland slaying, and other felonious
activities. Felony type and suspected felony
tj'pe murders in 1972 constituted 27 percent of
all murder, whereas these two categories accounted
for 22 percent of total murder in 1966. Tables
showing breakdown by geographical region for
murder in 1972 and murder breakdown by
circumstance for 1966-1972 accompany this
section.
During 1972, 7 percent of the murders were
the result of romantic triangles or lovers' quarrels.
In murders involving husband and wife, the wife
was the victim in 52 percent of the incidents
and the husband the victim in the remaining 48
percent. In these incidents involving spouses,
52 percent of the victims were Negro, 47 percent
white, and the remaining victims were of other
races.
The victims of felony type murder were 61 per-
cent white, 38 percent Negro, and the remaining
1 percent of other race or race not reported.

Clearartces
Nationally, police continue to be successful
in clearing or solving by arrest a greater percentage
of homicides than any other Crime Index offense.
In 1972, 82 percent of the homicides were solved;
however, in 1971, 84 percent of all murder offenses
were solved. Persons under 18 years of age were
involved in 5 percent of the willful kiUings solved
by poUce.
Since 1967, the clearance rate, nationwide, in
homicide has decreased from 88 per 100 offenses to
82 per 100 offenses in 1972.
Penorti Arrested
Based on reports submitted by law enforcement
agencies, 11 percent of all persons arrested for
murder were under 18 years of age, and 44 percent
were under 25. During the period 1967-1972 there
was a 97 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 57 percent. Numerically, the 20 to
24 year age group had the heaviest involvement
during 1972 with 24 percent of the total arrests
coming from within this age group. Negroes made
up 60 percent of the arrests for murder in 1972 and
53 percent of the victims of homicide were also
Negroes.
Perior)s Charged
Law enforcement agencies' reports disclose that
71 percent of all adults arrested for murder in 1972
were prosecuted during the year. Forty-one percent
of the adults prosecuted were found guilty as
charged, and 23 percent were convicted on some
lesser charge. The remaining 36 percent won re-
lease by acquittal or dismissal of the charges
against them. Of all individuals processed for
murder, 11 percent were juveniles who had their
cases referred to juvenile court jurisdiction.
AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
Aggravated assault is defined as an unlawful
attack by one person upon another for the purpose
9
507-082 O - 73 ■
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 success-
fully completed.
Volume
In calendar year 1972, there were an estimated
388,650 aggravated assaults in the Nation. This
is a 7 percent increase, or 24,055 additional
offenses over 1971. This crime agamst the person
made up 7 percent of the Crime Inde.x offenses
in 1972 and comprised 47 percent of the crimes of
violence. Regionally, the Southern States reported
38 percent of the total count of these crimes
followed by the North Central States with over
21 percent, the Northeastern States with 21
percent, and the Western States with over 20
percent. As has been the experience in previous
years, the summer months recorded the highest
frequencies of aggravated assault during 1972.
Trend
In 1972, the volume of aggravated assault
offenses increased 7 percent over 1971 and 53
percent over 1967. Cities with over 250,000 in-
habitants had an increase of about 1 percent.
The suburban areas reported an increase of 12
percent and the rural areas an increase of 11 per-
cent.
The Northeastern and Western States each
reported increases of 9 percent. The North Central
States had an 8 percent increase, and the Southern
States an increase of approximately 3 percent.
Aggravated Assault Rate
For each 100,000 persons in the United States
during 1972, there were 187 victims of aggravated
assault. Large core cities with 250,000 or more
inhabitants recorded a victim rate of 353 ag-
gravated assaults per 100,000 inhabitants, subur-
ban areas had 128, and rural areas 109. The
victim rate for the Nation for aggravated assault
increased 6 percent over 1971, and 45 percent over
1967. (See Chart 6.) The Southern States were
highest with a rate of 227 per 100,000 followed by
the Western States with 219, the Northeastern
States with 162, and the North Central States 142.
This victim rate increased less than one percent
in large core cities while the suburban and rural
area rates were up 9 percent and 8 percent
respectively.
Nature of Aggravated Assault
Most aggravated assaults occur within the
family unit, and among neighbors or acquaint-
ances. The victim-offender relationship, as well as
the nature of the attack makes this crime similar
to murder. In 1972, over 25 percent of the serious
assaults were committed with the use of a firearm.
A knife or other cutting instrument was used in
over 26 percent of the assaults, 23 percent were
committed with blunt objects or other dangerous
weapons, and over 25 percent with personal weap-
ons, such as hands, fists, and feet. A comparison of
the weapons used to commit assault from 1967 to
1972 indicates that assaults with firearms have
increased 85 percent; assaults with a knife or
other cutting instrument have risen 23 percent;
assaults where blunt objects or other dangerous
weapons are used increased 58 percent, and those
assaults through use of personal weapons have
climbed 62 percent. The table which follows dem-
onstrates the regional experience of aggravated
assault in 1972 by type of weapon used.
Clearances
Law enforcement agencies were successfvil in
solving 66 of each 100 cases of aggravated assault
in 1972. This clearance rate was the same in 1971.
This relatively high solution rate is consistent with
high solution rates in other crimes against the
person. Persons under 18 years of age were identi-
fied in 11 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 1963,
103 officers have lost their lives responding to
disturbance-type calls, which frequently involve
family or neighborhood arguments.

Persons Arrested
Arrests for aggravated assault in 1972 increased
33 percent over 1967. Since 1967 arrests of persons
18 years of age and over for aggravated assault have
increased 31 percent and arrests of persons under
18 years of age for this offense have increased 38
percent. As a group, persons 21 years of age and
over accounted for 70 percent of the arrests for
aggravated assault in 1972 and those under age
21 accounted for 30 percent. Arrests of males
outnumbered females by about 7 to 1.
Persons Charged
Law enforcement agencies have difficulty in ob-
taining convictions based on the original charge in
the aggravated assault category. The close family
or other relationshi]) which exists between victims
and assailants in this category accounts for the
victim's frequent unwillingness to testify for the
prosecution. Acquittals and dismissals, therefore,
continue to run high, with four out of every ten
cases being subjected to this type of disposition.
Seventy-four out of every 100 adults arrested
for aggravated assault in 1972 were prosecuted.
Forty-one percent of the adults prosecuted for
this offense were convicted on this charge, 18
percent were convicted of lesser charges while 19
percent 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 category.
Crime counts m this offense classification are
broken down by actual forcible rapes and attempted
forcible rapes.
Volunte
During 1972, there was an estimated total of
46,430 forcible rapes. Numerically, the volume
increased by 4,540 offenses over 1971. Forcible
rape continues, as in prior years, to comprise less
than 1 percent of the Crime Index total. It makes
up nearly 6 percent of the volume of crimes of vio-
lence. When viewed geographically, the Southern
States recorded 30 percent of the total volume
while the Western States had 26 percent, the
North Central States 25 percent and the North-
eastern States 18 percent. The balance of 1 percent
was spread fractionally throughout the Regions.
A comparison of the month-to-month variations
of forcible rape in 1972 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 1972, as well as a
comparison with the prior average 5-year experi-
ence.
Trend
The volume of forcible rape offenses in 1972 in-
creased 11 percent over 1971, and 70 percent over
1967. During 1972, this crime occurred most fre-
quently in large cities with 250,000 or more inhab-
itants which accounted for 44 percent of the forcible
rapes. Forcible rape increased 9 percent in this
group of cities and 18 percent in the suburban
areas surrounding the large core cities. The rural
areas registered a one-tenth of 1 percent decrease.
Geographically, all regions of the United States
reported increases in this offense. The North-
eastern States reported an increase of 19 percent,
the Western States 13 percent, the North Central
States 9 percent and the Southern States 6 percent.
Forcible Rape Rate
A crime rate, in its proper perspective, is a vic-
tim risk rate since it equates the number of crimes
per unit of population. In 1972, 43 out of every
100,000 females in this country were reported
rape victims. Since 1967, the forcible rape rate
has increased 62 percent. In calendar year 1972,
the forcible rape rate increased 10 percent over
1971.
The 58 core cities with populations in excess of
250,000 experienced a victim risk rate of 92 per
100,000 females. This is in marked contrast to
the suburban areas of the country where the risk
rate for females was 33 per 100,000 and the rural
area with a risk rate of 21. In the Western States,
a rate of 66 per 100,000 females was recorded.
Females residing in the Southern States were vic-
tims of forcible rape at the rate of 42 per 100,000.
The North Central and Northeastern States
recorded rates of 39 and 33 per 100,000 females
respectively.
Nature of Offenses
In 1972, 73 percent of all forcible rape offenses
were actual rapes by force while 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 enforce-
ment administrators recognize 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,
15 percent of all forcible rapes reported to police
{vere determined by investigation to be un-
founded. In other words, the police established
that no forcible rape offense or attempt occurred.
This is caused primarily due to the question of
the use or threat of force frequently complicated
by a prior relationship between victim and offender.
Crime counts in this publication are limited to
actual offenses established by police investigation.
Clearances
Of the total forcible rapes reported in 1972 to
law enforcement, 57 percent were cleared by arrest.
This is a 3 percent increase over the clearance
rate for 1971. The large cities with 250,000 or
more people had a clearance rate of 57 percent.
The suburban areas of the countrj^ reported a
52 percent rate while the rural areas had a 69
percent clearance rate. Of the total clearances
for forcible rape, 12 percent were by the arrest of
persons under the age of 18.
Persons Arrested
The age grouping of males 16 to 23 years of age
constituted the greatest concentration of arrests
for forcible rape in 1972. Total arrests for this
offense increased 14 percent, with the arrest of
persons under 18 years of age up 11 percent over
1971. Sixty-three percent of the arrests for forcible
rape during the year were of persons under the
age of 25. All arrests for forcible rape in 1972 com-
pared to 1967 indicate an increase of 47 percent.
Figures for the same years indicate that arrests of
persons under 18 years of age have increased 48
percent. In 1972, over 49 percent of the persons
arrested for forcible rape were Negroes, nearly
49 percent whites, and all other races comprised
the remainder.
Persons Charged
Of all adults arrested for forcible rape in 1972,
73 percent were prosecuted for this offense. Prose-
cutive problems accounted for acquittals and/or
dismissals in 49 percent of the cases. Thirty-two
percent of the adults prosecuted were found guilty
of the substantive offense and 19 percent were
convicted of lesser offenses. Juvenile referrals
amounted to 23 percent of the persons processed
on forcible rape charges in 1972.
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 infor-
mation concerning robbery is collected for armed
robbery where any weapon is used, and strong-
arm robbery where no weapon other than a per-
sonal weapon, is used. The latter category includes
crimes such as mugging, yoking, etc.
Volume
The volume of estimated robberies decreased
in 1972 by 11,350 offenses from the prior year.
There was an estimated total of 374,560 robbery
offenses committed in the United States in 1972.
This offense makes up 6 percent of the total
Crime Index and comprises 45 percent of the
crimes of violence. In 1972, these offenses occurred
most frequently during the month of December.
The heaviest volume of robbery offenses
occurred in the Northeastern States with 35 per-
cent of the total. The North Central States
experienced 25 percent, the Southern States 22
percent and the remainder were reported in the
Western States.
Trend
When the total robbery offenses occurring in
1972 is compared with the 1971 total, a 3 percent
decrease is noted. This is the first such reported
decrease since 1961. Since 1967, robbery has
increased 85 percent.
Large core cities over 250,000 population re-
ported a 7 percent decrease in robbery offenses
in 1972 when compared to the reported volume
in 1971. Suburban areas surroundmg the large
core cities reported a 9 percent increase while the
rural areas recorded an upward trend of 1 1 percent.
Geographically, the Western States experienced
a 3 percent increase in robbery offenses. The
Southern States had a 1 percent increase. The
North Central and Northeastern States reported
4 and 7 percent decreases respectively.
The accompanying chart depicts the trend in the
volume of robbery and the robbery rate, 1967-
1972. (Chart 8)

Robbery Rate
The 1972 robbery rate of 180 victims per
100,000 inhabitants was 4 percent below the 1971
rate. Robbery is primarily a large city crime.
American cities with more than 250,000 inhabitants
accounted for two-thirds of all robberies which
occurred in the United States during 1972.
Cities with over 250,000 inhabitants had a
robbery rate of 579 \'ictims per 100,000 people.
There were 72 robberj^ victims per 100,000 in the
suburban areas, up 4 percent over the preceding
year. The rural areas experienced a rate of 16
victims per 100,000 people. Robbery rates in the
larger cities were about eight times greater than
the rates in the suburban areas.
This crime occurred most frequently in relation
to population in the Northeastern States where
the rate was 264 per 100,000 inhabitants. The
Western States had a rate of 178, the North
Central States 165, and the Southern States 130
per 100,000 people.

Nature of Robbery
Supplemental robberj- information is obtained
from cities as a part of the monthly collection of
statistical data under this Program. In 1972, these
figures disclosed that half of the robberies were
committed in the street. Nationallj^, bank robbery
offenses increased from 2,586 offenses in 1971 to
2,618 in 1972. The average bank robbery dollar
loss decreased from $4,463 in 1971 to $3,529 in
1972.
The 1967-1972 trends in robbery by type, as
illustrated by the following charts, show bank
robbery has increased 51 percent. During this
same period, gas or service station holdups have
increased 46 percent; chain store robberies, 138
percent; street robberies, 81 percent; robberies
in residences, 108 percent; and holdups of other
commercial or business establishments rose 57
percent.
Ai-med perpetrators were responsible for 66 per-
cent of the robbery offenses during 1972, while
34 percent were muggings, yokuigs, or other violent
confrontation where personal weapons were used
by the offender to subdue or overcome the victim.
Since 1967, armed robbery has increased 112 per-
cent and strong-arm robber}'- 49 percent.
Special surveys have indicated that approxi-
mately 63 percent of all armed robbery is com-
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 in-
jury as a result of the attack. During 1972, the
average value loss to the victims of robbery was
$243 for a total loss of $91 million.
Clearances
In 1972, law enforcement agencies were suc-
cessful in clearing 30 percent of the robbery of-
fenses reported. Eighty percent of the robberies
which were cleared by arrest involved adults.
Arrests of persons under 18 years of age figured
in the clearance of 13 percent of the armed rob-
beries and 31 percent of the strong-arm type.
Persons Arrested
Nationally, arrests for robbery increased 8
percent in 1972 when compared to 1971. The
greatest volume of arrests occurred in cities and
were up 8 percent. In the rural areas, arrests
increased 3 percent and in the suburban areas
arrests decreased less than 1 percent.
Examination of arrest data discloses that 76
percent of the persons arrested for robbery were
under 25 years of age, and 54 percent were imder
21 years of age. Of all persons arrested for robbery,
32 percent were under the age of 18. This greater
proportion of youthful arrests, compared to
clearances, is accounted for in part by the fact
the young age offenders frequently act in groups.
Robbery arrests for this young age group recorded
an 8 percent increase in 1972 'Over 1971. In the
suburban areas young persons made up 28 percent
of the arrests for this offense. The rural areas
reported young offenders made up 13 percent of
the total arrests for robbery.
In 1972, 7 of every 100 persons arrested for
robbery were females. Arrests of women for this
offense rose 12 percent in 1972 when compared
to 1971.

From a standpoint of race, 67 percent of those
arrested were Negro, 32 percent were white, and
all other races made up the remainder.
Persons Charged
In 1972, 53 percent of all adults arrested for
robbery were prosecuted. Forty percent of the
persons processed for tliis crime were juveniles
whose cases were referred to juvenile court juris-
diction. Of the adults prosecuted in 1972, 25
percent were convicted of the substantive offense,
23 percent were convicted for lesser charges, and
52 percent were acquitted or their cases were
dismissed.
BURGLARY
The Uniform Crime Reporting Program defines
burglary as the unlawful entry of a structure to
commit a felony or theft, even though no force
was used to gain entry. The offense of burglary
in this Program is broken down into three sub-
classifications: forcible entry, unlawful entry
where no force is used, and attempted forcible
entry.
Volume
An estimated total of 2,345,000 burglaries
occurred during 1972. This was the first decrease
in estimated total burglaries since 1955. The
decrease in the number of offenses from 1971 to
1972 was 23,400. In 1971, the large core cities
over 250,000 inhabitants recorded 36 percent of
the total burglary figure. For calendar year
1972, this decreased to 35 percent. Of the Crime
Index offenses, burglary makes up 40 percent of
the total. When viewed as a segment of property
crime, burglary is found to comprise 46 percent
of the total. Geographically, the Southern States
reported 28 percent of the total volume, the
Western States 26 percent, with the Northeastern
and North Central States each reporting 23
percent.
Viewed monthly the highest volume of burglary
occurred in July of 1972.
Trend
The five year trend, 1967-1972, indicates
burglary offenses have risen 46 percent during
the period. In 1972, burglary decreased 1 percent
from 1971 as compared to an increase of 9 percent
1971 over 1970. Cities over 250,000 population
reported a decrease of 7 percent. In 1971, these
cities experienced an increase of 4 percent in
volume. In 1972, the suburban and rural areas of
the nation reported increases of 2 and 4 percent
respectively. Viewed regionally, the Western States
reported a 4 percent increase and the Southern
States a 1 percent increase in burglary offenses.
The Northeastern States experienced a 7 percent
decrease and the North Central States a 2 percent
decrease for this offense.
Burglary Rate
The burglary rate in 1972 was 1,126 per 100,000
inhabitants. During the period of 1967-1972,
this rate increased 38 percent. The burglary rate
for 1972 decreased 2 percent when compared
with 1971. The large core cities with over 250,000
inhabitants reported a rate of 1,878 burglaries per
100,000 people compared to 2,026 per 100,000
people in 1971. The suburban areas experienced a
decrease in rate from 974 offenses per 100,000
population in 1971 to 963 in 1972. The rural areas
recorded a rate of 507 offenses per 100,000 in-
habitants, which is an increase from 485 the
previous year.
The Western (States again recorded the highest
burglary rate in 1972 with 1,687 offenses per
100,000 inhabitants followed by the Northeastern
States with a rate of 1,075, the Southern States
1,006 and the North Central States 955.
Nature of Burglary
Burglary is generally accepted as a crime of
stealth and opportunity. It is committed by both
amateurs and professionals. In 1972, 76 percent of
the burglaries involved forcible entry, 18 percent
were unlawful entry (without force) and 6 percent
were recorded as forcible entry attempts. Resi-
dential burglaries increased from 60 percent
of the total burglaries in 1971 to 63 percent in
1972. Nonresidential offenses decreased from 40
percent in 1971 to 37 percent in 1972. Daytime
burglaries of residences decreased less than 1
percent in 1972, however, accounted for over half
of the residential burglaries. Considering the
period 1967-1972, there has been an increase
of 74 percent in the volume of daytime residential
burglaries.
Prevention and detection of the burglary
offense poses a most difficult problem to
law enforcement. Volume alone is an overriding
factor, particularly as related to the number of
officers available for this type investigation.
Viewed as a group, nighttime burglary represents
61 percent of all burglaries.

Economically, the offense of burglary represents
a substantial sum. Victims suffered a loss of $722
million in 1972 through the offense of burglary;
however, this is a decrease of about $17 million
from the 1971 loss. During 1972, residential losses
amounted to $465 million. In 1971, that loss
amounted to $457 million. Nonresidential losses
due to burglaries amounted to $258 million in
1972 and $282 million in 1971. In 1972, the
average doUar loss per burglary was $308.
Clearances
As suggested earlier, burglary is a crime of
stealth. This characteristic tends to make the
detection of the perpetrator more difficult. In 1972,
law enforcement was successful in clearing 19
percent of the total burglary offenses.
Adults were involved in 65 percent of all cases
cleared while young persons under 18 years of age
were involved in 35 percent. Law enforcement
agencies in cities 250,000 and above cleared 21
percent of these crimes in 1972. In the suburban
areas 17 percent were solved while 21 percent were
cleared in the rural areas.
Persons Arrested
In this Program, the arrest of one person may
account for the clearance of numerous offenses.
Likewise, the arrest of several may clear only one
offense. In the offense of burglary, it has been the
experience of law enforcement that the arrest of
one person frequently clears several reported
offenses. In 1972, total arrests for burglary de-
creased by 1 percent. Arrests of persons under the
age of 18 increased by 1 percent while arrests of
persons 18 years and over decreased 2 percent.
In the cities and suburban areas, decreases of
1 and 8 percent respectively were reported. The
rural areas experienced a 2 percent increase in
total arrests for burglary.
In analyzing the 1967-1972 period, a 26 percent
increase in burglary arrests is seen. Arrests of
individuals under the age of 18 increased 22
percent, while the arrests of adult burglary
offenders increased 31 percent.
Nationally, persons under 25 accounted for 83
percent of all arrests for burglary in 1972. 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
1972. Arrests of whites outnumbered Negroes
by 2 to 1.
Persons Charged
In 1971, 72 percent of the adults arrested for
burglary were prosecuted. In 1972 this figure
rose to 80 percent. Of the adults prosecuted,
51 percent were found guilty as charged. Con-
viction for lesser offenses accounted for 18 percent
and 31 percent were freed through acquittal or
dismissal of charges. Juveniles referred to juvenile
court jurisdiction accounted for 53 percent of
all persons processed for burglary in 1972.
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.
Volume
In 1972 there were 1,837,800 offenses of larceny
$50 and over, which was a decrease from 1,875,200
such crimes in 1971. This offense makes up 31 per-
cent of the Crime Index total. From a seasonal
standpoint, the volume of larceny was highest
during the summer months of 1972.
When considering all larceny, $50 and over in
value and under $50, the number of offenses for
1972 was 4,101,900. The total larceny offenses
for 1971 was 4,371,700. The 1972 total larceny
figure decreased 6 percent from 1971.
Geographically, the volume of larceny $50 and
over was highest in the Southern States which re-
ported 27 percent of the total number followed by
the Western States with 26 percent, the North
Central States with 25 percent, and the North-
eastern States with 21 percent.
Trend
Larceny $50 and over decreased 2 percent in
1972 when compared to the previous year. The
large cities with 250,000 inhabitants reported a
decrease of 1 1 percent in the volume of this offense.
The suburban areas reported a 1 percent increase
in this offense and the rural areas showed a 5 per-
cent increase. Nationwide tMs offense has in-
creased 75 percent since 1967.
21
Geographically, the Western States reported a
1 percent increase and the Northeastern States
reported a 9 percent decrease. The North Central
and the Southern States recorded decreases of
less than 1 percent.
Larceny Rate
During 1972, the larceny crime rate was 883
offenses per 100,000 inhabitants, a decrease of .3
percent from the 1971 rate. The rate has increased
66 percent since 1967. In 1972, the large core
cities registered a larceny rate of 1,105 per 100,000
inhabitants. The suburban larceny rate was 890
and the rural rate was 364. Viewed geographically,
the Western States reported the highest larceny
rate with 1,350 oiTenses per 100,000 inhabitants
which was 1 percent below 1971. The Northeastern
States had a rate of 775 down 10 percent; the
North Central States 808 down 1 percent, and
the Southern States 771 reported a decrease of 2
percent in the rate.
Nature of Larceny-Theft
The average value of property stolen in each
larceny in 1972 was $111, up from $95 in 1967,
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 $475 million. It is true
that a portion of the goods stolen was recovered
and returned to victims, but the relatively low
percentage of these crimes cleared by arrest, and
the lack of specific identification characteristics on
such property indicates these recoveries did 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.
In 1972, the average value of goods and property
reported stolen from victims of pickpockets was
$98, by purse-snatchers $53, by shoplifters $25,
by thefts from autos $149, and by miscellaneous
thefts from buildings $187.
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 con-
centrated. It is interesting to note that figures for
shopUfting are quite similar in the city and subur-
ban areas. The shopping center which is almost
nonexistent in rural areas contributes substantially
to these figures. Thefts from autos made up 19
percent of larceny offenses in large cities over
250,000 in population, 16 percent in suburban
areas, and 15 percent in rural areas.
From year to year, the distribution of larceny
as to type of theft remains relatively constant.
As in prior years, a major portion of these thefts ,
35 percent, represented thefts of auto parts an d
accessories and other thefts from automobiles .
Other major types of thefts which contributed
to the large number of these crimes were thefts
from buildings and stolen bicycles with 17 percent
each. Miscellaneous types of larcenies, not falling
into any of the specific categories for which data
were collected, made up 16 percent of the total.
The remainder was distributed among pocket-
picking, purse-snatching, shopUfting, 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 offense for law
enforcement officers to solve. A lack of witnesses
and the tremendous volume of these crimes work
in the offender's favor. In 1972, 20 percent of all
larceny offenses brought to police attention were
solved. Involvement of the young age group is
demonstrated 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 27
percent respectively.
The larceny clearance percentage for the cities
over 250,000 inhabitants was 21 percent. The
suburbs reported a 16 percent clearance rate and
the rural areas an 18 percent rate.
Persons Arrested
Forty-eight percent of the total arrests for
Crime Index offenses in 1972 were for larceny.
Arrests for this crime increased less than 1 percent,
1972 over 1971. Fifty percent cf these arrests were
of persons under 18 years of age and when in-
dividuals under 21 were considered, the ratio rose
to two-thirds. When examined by sex of arrested
persons, it was determined that females comprised
30 percent of all arrests for larceny- theft and had
a higher involvement in this offense than for any
of the other Index offenses. In fact, women were ar-
rested more often for larceny than any other offense
in 1972.
Arrests of females rose 6 percent in 1972; while
arrests of males decreased 2 percent. Arrests of
whites out-numbered Negroes by more than 2 to
1 with all other races comprising about 2 percent
of the arrests for larceny- theft. The total volume
of arrests for larceny-theft in 1972, as compared
with the 1967 figures, indicates a 44 percent
increase. Arrests of individuals under 18 were
31 percent greater than 1967. The number of
adult arrests rose 61 percent over the number
of arrests for this offense in 1967.
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 percent of the adults
prosecuted for larceny-theft were found guilty of
this offense, 6 percent were found guilty of a
lesser charge, and 24 percent had their cases
dismissed or were acquitted. Twenty-nine percent
of persons processed in 1972 for larceny were
referred to juvenile court jurisdiction.
AUTO THEFT
In Uniform Crime Reporting, auto theft is
defined as the unlawful taking or steaUng of a
motor vehicle, including attempts. This definition
excludes taking for temporary use by those persons
having lawful access to the vehicle.
Volume
In 1972, 881,000 motor vehicles were reported
stolen. This is a 6 percent decrease compared to
1971 when 941,600 motor vehicles were reported
stolen.
Geographically, the volume of auto theft in
1972 was highest in the Northeastern States
which reported 31 percent of the total number
followed by the North Central States with 25
percent. The Western States reported 23 percent
and the Southern States reported the remainder.
This crime made up 15 percent of the total
Crime Index offense volume. Seasonal variations
during 1972 disclosed the volume of auto theft
was highest during the month of September.
Trend
The number of auto thefts in 1972 decreased
6 percent compared to 1971. The number of auto
thefts has increased 34 percent since 1967.
Auto theft decreased 11 percent in large cities
with 250,000 or more inhabitants during 1972.
The rural areas reported a decrease of 3 percent
in auto theft while the suburban areas had a
decrease of less than one percent.
Geographically, auto thefts were down 10
percent in the Northeastern States, the Southern
and North Central States each reported a decrease
of 6 percent, and the Western States reported a
decrease of 3 percent. The accompanying chart
shows the trend in auto thefts, 1967-1972.
Auto Theft Rate
The 1972 auto theft rate of 423 offenses per
100,000 inhabitants is 7 percent lower than in
1971. Since 1967, the auto theft rate has risen 28
percent. People in cities with over one million
population were deprived more often of their
motor vehicles in 1972 than in any other popula-
tion group, with 10 thefts per 1,000 inhabitants.
Nationally, the auto theft rate in large core
cities with 250,000 or more inhabitants was 967
which was a decrease of 12 percent as compared
to the rate in 1971. The suburban areas had a
decrease of 6 percent in the auto theft rate which
was 288 per 100,000 inhabitants in 1972. The
rural areas had an auto theft rate of 70, which
was the same as in 1971.
Regionally the Western States had the highest
auto theft rate in 1972. This rate was 555, a de-
crease of 4 percent from 1971. The Northeastern
States had a rate of 541 per 100,000 inhabitants

which was a decrease of 10 percent. The North
Central States had a rate of 383 which was 6 per-
cent lower than the prior year and the Southern
States reported a decrease of 7 percent in the auto
theft rate to 295 auto thefts per 100,000
inhabitants.
Across the Nation in 1972, one of every 109
registered automobiles was stolen. Regionally,
this rate was the highest in the Northeastern
States where 13 cars per 1,000 registered vehicles
were stolen. In the other three regions the figures
were 11 in the Western States, 8 in the North
Central States, and 6 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 1972, the average value
of stolen automobiles was $936 at the time of
theft.
Clearances
Law enforcement agencies were successful in
solving 17 percent of the auto thefts by arrest
of the oflFender.
In the Nation's largest cities 17 percent of auto
thefts were cleared during 1972. Police in the
suburban areas were somewhat less successful,
clearing 16 percent. Throughout the Nation auto
theft clearance percentages ranged from 12 percent
in the Middle Atlantic States to over 20 percent
in the South Atlantic 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, 37 percent of the auto thefts cleared were
cleared by arrests in this age group while juveniles
accounted for 39 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
population. In 1972, 54 percent of all persons
arrested for this crime were under 18 years of
age. When persons under 21 are included in the
computations, the proportion of arrests rises to
72 percent.
The national trend in auto theft arrests dis-
closed a decrease of nearly 6 percent in 1972
when compared to 1971. Adult arrests decreased
8 percent while arrests of persons under 18
decreased 4 percent. During the period 1967-1972,
auto theft arrests increased 2 percent.
Females under 18 j^ears of age recorded an
increase of nearly 5 percent in arrests for auto
theft over 1971. White persons made up 63
percent of the arrests for auto theft, Negroes
34 percent, and all other races accounted for the
remainder.
Persons Charged
Police reports disclosed that of all persons
formally processed for auto theft in 1972, 60
percent were referred to juvenile court juris-
diction. No other Crime Index offense results
in such a high percentage of juvenile referrals.
When the remaining adult offenders were con-
sidered 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.
NCIC Stolen Vehicle File
The National Crime Information Center (NCIC)
is a computerized system operated by the FBI
servicing all law enforcement throughout the
United States. The NCIC system's stolen
vehicle file provides law enforcement with the
ability to immediately enter the auto theft record
information. The police also have the ability to
immediately modify the record when the stolen
vehicle is recovered. The system currently has on
file some 825,000 active stolen vehicle records.
A review of the auto theft data entered in the
NCIC system for November, 1972, shows there
was a total of 67,565 vehicle records entered.
When reviewing this monthly total by type of
vehicle it was determined automobiles made up
90 percent of these records, motorcycles 4 percent,
trucks approximately 5 percent, and other motor
vehicles less than 1 percent.
Of the stolen autos entered in the system during
November, 1972, 69 percent were recovered by
law enforcement by December 31, 1972. During
the same period 56 percent of the trucks, 25
percent of motorcyles, and 22 percent of the other
motor vehicles were recovered.
According to the stolen motor vehicle records in
NCIC, the 1964 model year automobile is cur-
rently the one which is most frequently stolen.

CLEARANCES
In this Program police clear a crime when they
have identified the offender, have sufficient
evidence 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 sub-
ject is being prosecuted elsewhere for a crime
committed 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
21 percent of the Index Crimes during 1972 com-
pared with 20 percent in 1971 . In 1972 law enforce-
ment agencies cleared 82 percent of the murder
offenses down from 84 percent in 1971, 57 percent
of forcible rapes compared with 55 percent the
prior year, 66 percent of aggravated assaults
which is the same level as 1971, and 30 percent
of the robberies up from 27 percent the prior
year. Solutions in the property crime categories
showed police cleared 19 percent of the burglaries
in 1972 and 1971, 20 percent of the larcenies
were cleared compared with 19 percent the prior
year, and 17 percent of the auto thefts up from
16 percent in 1971. Police are able to clear a
higher percentage of the crimes against the
person, not only because of the more intense
investigative effort afforded these violent crimes
requiring police attention, but more importantly,
because witnesses are usually available who can
identify the perpetrators.
The highest overall Crime Index clearance rate
regionally was recorded by the Southern States
with 23 percent, followed by the North Central
and Western States with 20 percent each, and the
Northeastern States with 18 percent.
The accompanying chart reveals crime and po-
lice clearance experience for the last five years.
From 1967 to 1972 the Crime Index offenses rose
55 percent. Police response to this upward trend
was a 42 percent increase in the number of Crime
Index Offenses cleared and a 33 percent increase
in the number of arrests for Crime Index offenses.
However, the clearance rate, which relates the
number of known offenses cleared, has declined.
Although the clearance rate for Crime Index type
offenses has declined from 22 of every 100 in 1967
to a rate of 21 of every 100 in 1972, there was an
increase in the clearance rate in 1972 over 1971.
In 1971 the clearance rate was 20 for each 100
Crime Index offenses.
Offenses Cleared by Arrest of Juveniles
One means of measuring the involvement of the
young age group in crime is to identify the number
of crimes in which they are the offenders. In 1972,
27 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 1972, law enforcement agencies made an
estimated 8.7 million arrests nationally for all
criminal acts except traffic offenses. The arrest
rate was 43 arrests for each 1,000 persons. In 1971,
there were 44 arrests for each 1,000 inhabitants.
The arrest rate for big cities as a group was 63 per
1,000 inhabitants, up from 61 in 1971 ; for suburban
areas 32, down from 33 in the prior year; and in
the rural areas the arrest rate was 21, down from
22 arrests per 1,000 people in 1971.
Arrests are primarily a measure of police ac-
tivity. Arrest practices, policies, and enforcement
emphasis will vary from place to place and within
a community from time to time. The volume of
police arrests for certain unlawful conduct such as
drunkemiess, disorderly conduct, and certain local
ordinances is particularly influenced by the above.
On the other hand, robbery, burglary, and other
arrests for serious crimes are more likely the result
of standard procedures. Arrests are first a measure
of police activity as it relates to crime. Arrests do,
however, provide a useful index to indicate in-
volvement in criminal acts by the age, sex, and
race of the perpetrators, particularly for those
crimes which have a high solution rate. Procedures
used m 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 indi\'iduals taken
into custodj^ 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
public order such as drunkenness, vagrancy, dis-
orderly conduct, and related violations.

Arrest Trends
In 1972, police arrests for all offenses except
traffic increased seven-tenths of 1 percent over
1971. During this time arrests of persons under
18 years of age increased eight-tenths of one per-
cent and arrests of persons 18 years of age and
over increased seven-tenths of one percent. When
only the serious crimes are used to compute this
trend, the increase was two-tenths of one percent
for persons under 18 years of age and 2 percent
for those 18 years of age and over, with an increase
of 1.1 percent for all ages.
During the five-year period, 1967-1972, poUce
arrests for all offenses, except traffic, increased
21 percent with the arrests of persons under 18
years of age up 28 percent and the arrests of
persons 18 years of age and over up 19 percent.
When only the Crime Index offenses are used in
computing this five-year trend, the increase was
36 percent. Arrested persons under 18 years of
age increased 25 percent while the adult arrests
increased 47 percent. Violent crime arrests for
persons under 18 years of age increased 60 percent
while the property crime arrests increased 22 per-
cent. Adult arrests for both violent and property
crimes were up 47 percent each.
Age
Nationally, persons under 15 years of age made
up 9 percent of the total police arrests; under 18,
26 percent; under 21, 39 percent; and under 25,
53 percent. In the suburban areas, the involve-
ment of the young age groups hi police arrests is
again markedly higher than the national figures
with the under 15 age group represented in 12
percent; under 18, 33 percent; under 21, 49 per-
cent; and under 25, 62 percent. In the rural areas
the distributions were lower for the younger age
groups, with the under 15 group being involved in
5 percent; under 18 in 18 percent; under 21 in 35
percent; and those under 25 in 51 percent of total
police arrests. When .only the serious crimes are
considered, 19 percent of all arrests in 1972 were
for persons under the age of 15 and 44 percent
were under 18 years of age.
In reviewing arrest figures, it is important to
keep in mind that police arrest practices and
emphases vary which account for some variations
in these statistics from year to year. It is noted
arrests of persons under 18 years of age for Nar-
cotic Drug Law violations have increased sharply
in recent years. In fact, in 1972, 53 percent of the
individuals arrested for violations of the Narcotic
Drug Laws were persons under 21 years of age.
Twenty-eight percent of the marijuana arrests in
1972 were persons under the age of 18 and 62 per-
cent of the arrests for this offense involved persons
under 21 years of age.
Arrests for Narcotic Drug Law violations 1972
over 1971 were up 7 percent nationally. From
1967 to 1972, arrests for this violation increased
291 percent. There is set forth a tabulation by
geographic region showing the type of narcotic
drug involved in the arrest of the offender in
1972.

Male arrests outnumbered female arrests by
almost 6 to 1 in 1972. Male arrests in 1972 rose by
one-half of 1 percent, while female arrests were up
2 percent. Eighteen percent of arrests for Crime
Index offenses were of female persons. Ten percent
of the arrests for violent crimes in 1972 involved
females and arrests of females for these types of
crimes increased 9 percent over 1971. Again, as in
prior years, their involvement was primarily for
larceny which accounted for 19 percent of all
female arrests. In fact, 20 percent of all property
crime arrests in 1972 were of females. Females
accounted for 25 percent of the forgery, 30 percent
of the fraud, 26 percent of the embezzlement, and
15 percent of the narcotics arrests. Over one-half
of the runaway — poUce custody cases — were girls
under 18 years of age.
The five-year arrest trends, 1967-1972, revealed
that arrests for young females under 18 years of
age increased 62 percent, while arrests for young
males under 18 rose 21 percent. When the serious
crimes as a group are considered, arrests of
males 1967-1972, were up 18 percent and female
arrests increased 72 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 informa-
tion is important to the law enforcement adminis-
trator in evaluating the quality of investigations
and court presentation functions.
In 1972, 83 percent of the adults arrested for
Crime Index type offenses were prosecuted in the
courts. Of the adults prosecuted for Crime Index
offenses, 59 percent were found guilty as charged
and 12 percent of a lesser charge.
It must be recognized that not all arrested
persons are turned over to the courts for prosecu-
tion. There are various reasons for this: failure of
the victim to cooperate or appear for the prosecu-
tion, 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 en-
forcement agencies without preferring a formal
charge or referring them directly to juvenile
authorities. All contributors to this Program are
urged to obtain and report final disposition in
cases involving persons they arrest. Tables con-
taming this data commence on page 116. Keep in
mind that police methods of handling juvenile
offenders differ widely from place to place. Also,
the tables concerning juveniles (local age limit)
refer to those who were arrested and turned over
to juvenile authorities in coimection with specific
criminal acts.
Thirty-seven percent of the persons processed for
the Crime Index categories were young persons
referred to juvenile court jurisdiction. Again, as in
prior years, juvenile referrals were highest for auto
theft with 60 percent of those processed for this
offense, 53 percent burglary, 40 percent robbery,
29 percent larceny, 23 percent forcible rape, 19
percent aggravated assault, and 1 1 percent murder.
During 1972, 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 agains t pub-
lic 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.
Of the adults who were prosecuted for Crime
Index offenses, 30 percent were acquitted or their
cases were dismissed. In 1972, 36 percent of the
murder defendants were either acquitted or their
cases dismissed at some prosecutive stage. Forty-
nine percent of those charged with forcible rape
were acquitted or had their cases dismissed, and
41 percent of the persons charged with aggravated
assault won their freedom through acquittal or
dismissal.
Larceny, 70 percent, recorded the highest per-
centage for persons found guilty on the original
charge in 1972. This was followed by 51 percent
on the original charge for burglary, 46 percent for
auto theft, 41 percent for murder and aggravated
assault, 32 percent for forcible rape, and 25 per-
cent for robbery. The offense which had the highest
percentage guilty of a lesser charge was murder
where 23 percent of the defendants were convicted
on some charge other than murder.
CAREERS IN CRIME
In January, 1970, the FBI began converting
offender records to computer form for the opera-
tional Computerized Criminal History File of the
National Crime Information Center. Although this
is an operational program, it was designed and
established with full recognition of the statistical
and research potential of offender based data.
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 was used to docu-
ment the extent to which criminal recidivism
35
over a period of time contributes to annual crime
counts and has also been used to show the need
for the centralization of law enforcement infor-
mation 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 axe also violations
of local and state laws. The offender transaction
records examined in this study are, therefore,
believed to be similar to the local and state ex-
perience for the more serious violators.
The Careers in Crime study brought to the Uni-
form Crime Reporting Program valuable statis-
tical experience in the field of criminal histories,
and has demonstrated the use of offender based
transaction information to indicate the success or
failure of the entire criminal justice system. The
key to the effectiveness of the system is in know-
ing what happened to the people who were handled
or treated by the criminal justice process, specifi-
cally, whether they were deterred from further
criminal acts and/or rehabilitated.
A summary of 228,032 offenders in the Comput-
erized Criminal History file who were arrested
during the period 1970-1972 is set out in the
following tables. Of these 228,032 individuals,
148,809 (65 percent) had been arrested two or
more times. These individuals had an average
criminal career of four years and eleven months
(number of years between first and last arrest)
during which time they were arrested an average
of four times each. The 228,032 offenders had a
total of 867,000 documented charges during their
criminal careers, with 244,329 reported convic-
tions and 87,358 imprisonments of six months or
more.
Of the 148,809 repeat offenders, 65,793 or 44
percent were rearrested in states other than that
where first arrested. Of the 65,793 "mobile" of-
fenders, 13,401 were arrested in a total of three
different states and 10,459 were an-ested in four
or more different states.
It should be kept in mind that this presentation
is conservative and understates the amount of
crime committed by these offenders since it is
based on pohce detection, arrest, and submission
of a fingerprint card. As indicated in earlier pages
of this pubUcation, law enforcement agencies do
not clear or solve most crimes. Only one-fifth of
the serious crimes committed during 1972 were
solved by arrest. It is also true that the prior
conviction and imprisonment rates are slightly
lower than actual because criminal justice agencies
do not always submit such data after arrest, con-
viction, and release. In fact, disposition data has
not been received on over 484,000 of the 867,000
charges.
A profile of criminal repeating for selected of-
fenders 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 last arrested during the 1970's.
When criminal repeating is viewed by type of
crime for which arrested in the 1970's, repeaters
ranged from 34 percent for the embezzler to 77
percent for the robber. The predatory crime of-
fenders had high repeat rates with 77 percent of
the robbers, 73 percent of the auto thieves, and
71 percent of the burglars arrested between 1970-
1972 being repeat offenders. Likewise, 60 percent
of the narcotic offenders were repeaters.
Forty-three percent of the offenders under 20
years of age who were arrested between 1970-
1972 were repeat offenders. Offenders under 20
were rearrested more frequently than any other
age group, with an arrest every three months.
The arrest rate for the other age groups were:
20-24 years, every six months; 25-29 years, every
eleven months; 30-34 years, every 16 months;
35-39 years, every 21 months; 40-49 years, every
27 months; and over 50 years of age, once every
39 months.
A study was made of 50,363 repeat offenders
who were arrested during 1972. These repeat of-
fenders had 89,252 arrests prior to their arrest in
1972 for a total of 139,615 arrests during their
criminal careers. Of their 89,252 prior arrests,
49,212 were in some state other than that in
which arrested during 1972. Table C lists the
mobility of these repeat offenders.
Follow-up Studies
In past years, under the Careers in Crime
Program, follow-up studies were conducted con-
cerning persons reported released from the Federal
criminal justice system in a given year. Considera-
tion will be given to continuing the follow-up

LAW ENFORCEMENT EMPLOYEE DATA
This publication has a section with tables of
Law Enforcement Employee Data which shows
average police employee strength by geographic
division and population group. This data is sub-
divided by sex of employees with percentage of
civilian employees, number and type of patrol
assignments, and an individualized listing of police
employees by reporting cities and surrounding
suburban counties. Tables containing data relative
to law enforcement oflScers killed and assaulted
in the line of duty are published to supplement
the following narrative material.
Employee Rates
In 1972, the average number of police employees
per 1,000 inhabitants (including civilian employ-
ees) remained at 2.4, unchanged from the 1971
rate. Male employees represented 91.4 percent
of total police employee strength.
Many United States cities continue to operate
with a police employee ratio of less than the
national average of 2.4 per 1,000. Fifty percent
of all law enforcement 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 average ratio of police employees to popu-
lation in the suburban areas was 1.8 per 1,000
inhabitants, the same as 1971. One -half of the
suburban police departments have from 1.2 to
2.2 employees per 1,000 inhabitants. The average
39
rate of full-time employees in sheriff's departments
was 1.3 per 1,000 iahabitants; however, in three-
fourths of the departments the rate was 1.1 or
less.
Police departments in the Middle Atlantic and
South Atlantic States have the highest average
rate with 2.8 employees per 1,000 inhabitants.
Cities in the West South Central States had the
lowest average ratio with 1.9.
Civilian Employeei
In Table 60 the percentage of total law enforce-
ment personnel represented by civilian employees
is tabulated by population group. On the average
during 1972, 13.3 percent of all city police per-
sonnel were civilian employees. Of all civilian
employees, 55 percent were female and 45 percent
were male personnel. Law enforcement adminis-
trators are continuing to utilize greater numbers
of civilian employees, thereby relieving sworn
personnel for active police duties.
Sworn Personnel
Law enforcement employee rates on the basis of
sworn personnel only (excluding civilian employ-
ees) show that the average for all cities was 2.0
in 1972, compared to the 1971 rate of 2.1 per
1,000 inhabitants. The city rates, nationally,
range from 0.1 to 9.6 per 1,000 inhabitants. In
cities, males represented 99 percent of all sworn
personnel, while in suburban agencies males
constituted 97 percent and in county sheriff and
police departments 94 percent. The average ratio
of sworn employees in sheriff's departments was 1 .0
per 1,000 inhabitants and the rate range for the
2,559 reporting county agencies was 0.1-9.4 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 service based upon the conditions which
exist in a given community. For example, the in-
creased 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' responsibiUties are limited almost
exclusively to civil functions and/or the adminis-
tration of the county jail facilities. The sheriffs'
departments used in computing rates, however,
are all engaged in police activity and are responsi-
ble for all phases of poUcing in their jurisdiction.
It is pointed out that the figures set forth in
detailed police employee tables (Tables 54 and
55) represent national averages. They should be
used as a guide or indicator and not considered as
recommended or desirable police strengths.
Adequate 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 1972, 89 percent of the patrols utilized in
cities were vehicle patrols, and 11 percent were
foot patrols. In cities with over 250,000 inhabitants
88 percent were vehicle patrols and 12 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 percent of 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, 34 percent of the patrol
activity was during the day, 38 percent during
the evening hours, and 28 percent after midnight.
In the areas covered by sheriff's and county poUce,
39 percent of the patrol activity was during the
day, 32 percent during the evening hours, and 29
percent after midnight.
The distribution of one and two man vehicle
patrols for all cities indicated that 84 percent of
the vehicle patrols during the day involved one
man cars, 73 percent during the evening hours,
and after midnight 72 percent. In the large cities
with 250,000 or more inhabitants, 64 percent of
the daytime patrols involved the use of one man
cars, 50 percent during the evening hours, and
after midnight 52 percent. In the areas covered by
sheriffs' and county poUce departments, 92 per-
cent of the daytime patrols involved the use of
one man cars, 80 percent during the evening hours,
and after midnight 76 percent were one man
vehicles.

State Police and State Highway Patrols
There were 57,908 employees in State Police
and State Highway Patrol organizations in 1972.
This was an increase of one percent over 1971.
Of the total employees, 73 percent were sworn
personnel and 15,429 or 27 percent, were civilian
employees.
The police employee strengths of State Police
and State Highway Patrol organizations are set
forth in Table 70. 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 112 local, county, and state law en-
forcement officers were killed due to felonious
criminal action in 1972. This number is less than
the 1971 figure when 126 law enforcement officers
were slain. During the ten-year period, 1963-1972,
786 officers were killed. The average number of
law enforcement officers slain was 79 a year during
the period 1963-1972. Specifically, there were 55
officers killed in 1963; 57 in 1964; 53 in 1965;
57 in 1966; 76 in 1967; 64 in 1968; 86 in 1969;
100 in 1970; 126 in 1971; and 112 in 1972.
Circumstances Surrounding Deaths
Examination of circumstances under which
police officers were slain in 1972, 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 seem or have been
in the past. It is essential that officers be extremely
alert with all individuals they contact. No arrest
situation can be considered routine, as evidenced
by the fact that during the period 1963-1972 more
officers were killed attempting arrests than in any
other matter. During 1972, 24 officers were killed
while attempting arrest for crimes other than
robbery or burglary. Twenty-five officers were
slain by persons they encountered during the
commission of a robbery, or who they were pur-
suing as robbery suspects. In connection with the
crime of burglary, nine officers were killed at the
scenes of burglaries or while pursuing burglary
suspects.
During the period 1968-1972, 63 officers were
slain from ambush. Fourteen of the officers were
slain in 1972, 20 in 1971, 19 in 1970, three in 1969,
and seven in 1968. In 1972, two officers were slain
by mentally deranged persons. During the period
1963-1972 a total of 36 officers were killed by
mentally deranged persons.
Fourteen officers were slain while making
traffic stops in 1972. Five officers were murdered
while investigating suspicious persons or cir-
cumstances and 15 were killed responding to
"disturbance calls" involving such things as
family quarrels, man with gun, etc. Two officers
were slain while they were transporting or other-
wise engaged in custody of prisoners and two
were killed while handling civil disorders.
In 1972, 45 of the officers slain utilized their serv-
ice firearms when confronted by their assailants.
Thirty-two of these officers fired their service
firearms while attempting to protect themselves.
Fifty-four percent (or 61) of the officers were
within five feet of their assailants when slain.
Twenty-five officers were six to ten feet from the
offenders when they were killed. In summary, 86
of the 112 officers slain were within ten feet of
their assailants when they were killed.
In 1972, 57 officers were slain in the Southern
States, 30 in the North Central States, 14 in the
Northeastern States, and eleven 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, 1963-1967 and 1968-
1972.
W,
e a pons
Used
One hundred eight of the police killings in 1972
were perpetrated through use of firearms. Of
these deaths, 74 were committed through the use
of handguns, 16 with rifles, and shotguns were
used to kill 18 of the officers. Fifteen percent
(or 17) of the officers slain had their own weapons
used against them by the assailants. Two police-
men met death as a result of being assaulted with
knives, while one officer was killed through the
use of a bomb. One officer was feloniously killed
through the use of an automobile while attempt-
ing to arrest the offender.
During the period 1963-1972, firearms were
used by felons to commit 96 percent of the
police killings. Seventy-three percent of the wea-
pons used were handguns. Specifically, of the 786
law enforcement officers slain by criminal action
during this period, 572 were killed through use of
handguns, 93 with shotguns, 86 with rifles, nine
with knives, three with bombs, nine with personal
weapons such as hands, fists, and feet, and 14
by other means such as clubs, automobiles, etc.
42
A total of 108 officers, or 14 percent, were slain
with their own handguns.
An accompanying table shows the type of
weapons used to kill officers from 1963 through
1972.
Profile of Victim Officers
During the period 1963-1967, 87 percent of the
officers were white and 11 percent were Negro.
The median years of service was five and one-
half. Thirteen percent of the victim officers had
one year or less of service. Forty-two percent had
less than five years of service, 28 percent had
five to ten years of service, and 30 percent had
more than ten years.
During the period 1968-1972, 86 percent of the
victims were white and 13 percent were Negro.
The median years of service was five. Fifteen
percent of the victims had one year or less of
service, 48 percent had less than five years of
constitutes a threat to the officer's personal safety.
The patrol officer is readily identifiable because
of his uniform and/or patrol vehicle. He 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 must react to
situations as they occur without the benefit of

service, 24 percent had five to ten years of service,
and 28 percent over ten years of service.
For the entire ten-year peiiod, 1963-1972, 87
percent of the officers were white and 12 percent
Negro. The median years of service for the entire
period was five. Fourteen percent had one year
or less service, 45 percent had less than five years
of service, 26 percent had five to ten years, and
29 percent had over ten years of service.
Types of Assignment
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. Each of these situations
detailed information or planning and thus places
himself in a variety of dangerous situations. 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 capaci-
ties are confronted with equally tense and danger-
ous types of situations while performing their
duties, but not with the same frequency.
During 1972, 71 patrol officers were slain. Sixty-
four of these officers were assigned to patrol cars
while seven were foot patrolmen. Twenty-nine
officers were detectives or officers on special as-

signments. During 1972, in the highest tradition
of the law enforcement profession, 12 officers whOe
in an off-duty status were taking appropriate police
action concerning crimes committed in their pres-
ence when they were slain. Eight of the off-duty
officers were slain by persons they encountered
during the commission of a robbery, or while in
pursuit of robbery suspects. During the period
1963-1972, 68 percent or 531 of the 786 officers
slain by felons were assigned to patrol duties. In
1972, 39 of the on-duty officers were alone and
unassisted when killed. During the period 1963-
1972, 35 percent or 272 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 con-
nection with the killings of officers during the
periods of 1963-1967 and 1968-1972.

cent of the offenders were white, 49 percent
Negro, and 2 percent other races.
During the period 1963-1972, 786 officers were
slain; 1,084 offenders were identified, clearing 95
percent of these kiUings. Seventy-six percent of
the offenders had prior arrests for criminal charges,
with 59 percent of the offenders having been con-
victed of those charges. Forty-two 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 previously
been convicted on criminal charges had been
granted parole or probation. Sixteen percent of
the offenders were on parole or probation when
they were involved with the killing of an officer.
Twelve percent of the offenders had a prior arrest
for a narcotics charge and 9 percent had prior
arrests for police assault.
Ninety-six percent were male and 4 percent
female. During this ten-year period, 50 percent
of the offenders were white and 49 percent were
Negro.
In the period 1961-1970, 848 knovni persons
were involved in connection with the killing of
633 law enforcement officers. One hundred and
five offenders or 12 percent were killed at the
scene of the crime or soon thereafter, 20 com-
mitted suicide, and six offenders are known fugi-
tives. A total of 717 individuals or 85 percent
were arrested and charged in connection with
these police killings. There were 466 offenders or
65 percent found guilty of murder. Available court
cUsposition data discloses that 82 were sentenced
to death, 239 were sentenced to life imprisonment,
141 received prison terms ranging from two to
200 years, and four offenders received probation.
Sixty-four offenders were found guilty of lesser
offenses such as manslaughter, assault, etc. Thirty-
one offenders were found guilty of other crimes
committed such as robbery, burglary, etc., when
the police murders occurred. Ninety-eight indi-
viduals or 14 percent were found not guilty. Fur-
ther, 37 offenders were committed to mental insti-
tutions and nine offenders died while awaiting trial.
In 1972, 20 offenders were killed at the scene of
the crime or soon thereafter and six offenders
committed suicide. For the period 1963-1972,
135 assailants were killed at the crime site or
within a short time after the police killing was
committed; 28 committed suicide shortly after
the killing and seven died from other causes.
During the period 1963-1972, the offenders
ranged in age from thirteen years to 82. During
this period the median age of these offenders was
25 j'^ears. Fifty-five percent were between the
ages of 20 and 30. Seven percent, or 77 were under
the age of 18 and 20 was the most common age of
the poUce killers. In 1972, the 169 offenders

identified with police killings had a median age of
24. Sixty percent of these persons were between
the ages of 20 and 30. Thirteen of the persons
committing these fatal attacks were under the
age of 18. The most common age of the police
killer was 25 in 1972.
Geographic Locations
The 112 law enforcement officers slain during
1972 were from 92 different law enforcement
agencies in .35 states. Among the agencies, the
New York City Police Department ranked high-
est with four officers slain in 1972 followed by the
50
Clay County, Arkansas Sheriff's Office and the
Detroit, Michigan Police Department, each with
three officers killed.
Among the states, Texas ranked highest with
ten officers killed while performing their duties
as law enforcement officers. The states of North
Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania followed with
seven officers killed in each state.
The Police of Puerto Rico had three officers
killed due to criminal action in 1971. In 1972
two officers were slain. Four of the police killings
were perpetrated through use of firearms and a
knife was used to kill one officer. The most fre-
quent type of activity under which these officers
were slain was disturbance call situations fol-
lowed by investigating suspicious circumstances,
and attempting arrests other than robbery or
burglary.
Accidental Deaths
Three hundred seven ty-nine law enforcement
officers have reportedly died as a result of acci-
dents occurring in the line of duty during the
nine-year period, 196.3-1971. In 1972, 41 additional
officers died, bringing the total number of such
deaths from 1963 through 1972 to 420. These
officers are not included in the preceding infor-
mation concerning law enforcement officers who
were killed as a result of felonious criminal action.
The leading cause of accidental deaths in the law
enforcement profes.sion is automobile accidents
which have claimed the lives of 208 officers. Seven-
ty-two officers have been killed in accidents in-
volving 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, helicopter and plane
crashes, falls, etc. These types of accidents
claimed the lives of 15 officers in 1972.
ASSAULTS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
In 1972, the Uniform Crime Reporting Program
instituted a new detailed monthly collection of
data regarding the problem of assaults on local,
county, and state law enforcement officers in this
nation. The large number of reported assaults on
sworn officers is in part due to a prevalent attitude
of disrespect for law enforcement in certain
elements of our society.
The uniformed officer is the target for persons
with real or imagined grievances against the
"system." He also is, in many instances, the
first i)erson to render aid to mentally deranged
individuals, to calm disturbances and quarrels,
to offer protection to those threatened, or rescue
those in peril. The officer is the active representa-
tive of a society whose members too often forget
their individual responsibilities to their fellow
human beings. In this role, he suffers a variety of
unsolicited and undeserved abuse.
During 1972, 37,523 assaults on police were
reported by 4,327 agencies covering an estimated
population of 119,179,000. There were, in 1972,
an estimated 61,800 assaults on police in the
nation. The rate of assaults on police for the nation
was 15 assaults per 100 officers for the year.
Activity of Police Officers at the Time of Assault
An examination of the activities of law enforce-
ment officers at the time of the assaults discloses
that the greatest number of assaults, 27 percent,
were in responding to disturbance calls. The second
highest incidence activity, 25 percent of the as-
saults, was "attempting arrests" other than
burglary or robbery. Third in magnitude was
handling prisoners with 11 percent. Any officer
who has answered disturbance calls remembers
the situations when he became a substitute target
in a husband and wife quarrel or an arbitrator
in a customer-proprietor argument. The high in-
cidence of assaults in these common and often
repeated police activities should serve as an im-
petus for greater alertness to all police personnel.
The officer must avoid becoming complacent in
his pursuit of any type of police activity. The
police administrator or command officer should
consider procedures to afford the responding officer
the fullest possible support in all activities no
matter how menial or routine they might seem.
Weapons Used in Assaults on Police Officers
Nationwide, personal weapons, su(?-h as hands,
fists, feet, etc., were used in 81 percent of the
assaults on officers in 1972. Cities with population
between 25,000 and 50,000 had the highest inci-
dence of assaults with personal weapons
accounting for 87 percent. Cities over 1,000,000
showed the greatest percentage of assaults with
firearms which accounted for 11 percent of the
assaults in those cities. These large cities also
showed the highest percentage of assaults with
knife with 4 percent. By geographic division, the
Pacific States had the highest rate of assaults on
police with 28 of every 100 officers being assaulted
in 1972. The Middle Atlantic States had the lowest
rate with eleven of every 100 officers being
assaulted.
Type of Assignment
Of those officers assaulted in 1972 in the nation,
44 percent were in two-man vehicles, 33 percent
in one-man vehicles, 7 percent on detective or
special assignment, and 16 percent in other as-
signments. In the highest assault incidence ac-
tivity of police, responding to disturbance calls,
50 percent of the victims were in two-man vehicles,
40 percent in one-man vehicles, 3 percent in de-
tective or special assignment, and 7 percent in
other assignments. The vehicle patrol officer is
the victim of assault in 77 percent of the total
assaults on police.
Injuries to Law Enforcement Officers
Assaults on officers resulted in 39 cases of serious
personal injury to every 100 officers assaulted. The
rates showed assault with injury to 9 officers per
100 in the New England division as contrasted
with 4.5 per 100 in the West South Central divi-
sion. The national rate of injuries to law enforce-
ment officers was 6 per 100 officers. Cities of
100,000 to 250,000 inhabitants had the greatest
rate of assault with injury with 8 per 100 and
sheriffs' officers had the lowest rate with 3 per 100.
Time of Assault
Approximately one-half of the assaults on
officers 'occurred during the hours from 8:00 p.m.
to 2:00 a.m. The period with greatest incidence
was from 10:00 p.m. to midnight. Nearly one-fifth
of the assaults, 18 percent, were recorded for this
two-hour period. All cities, as well as counties,
recorded the largest number of assaults against
officers in this time period, with the exception of
the cities 100,000 to 250,000 and those 10,000 to
25,000. Cities in these population groups showed
the greatest assault incidence from 8:00 p.m. to
10:00 p.m.
Clearances in Assaults on Police
Nationwide m 1972, 89 percent of police assaults
were cleared by arrest. In cities over 250,000, this
clearance percentage was highest of any popula-
tion group with 90 percent being cleared. Assaults
of police in disturbance matters were cleared at
the rate of 94 percent in cities over 250,000.
The unfortunate phenomenon in our society of
ambush attacks on law enforcement officers re-
sulted in an estimated 600 assaults in 1972.
The nature of these ambushes where officers are
enticed or entrapped has resulted in the lowest
clearance rate in any category of police activity.
The clearance rate of these ambush attacks was
48 percent.

SUMMARY OF UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM
Uniform Crime Reports provides a nationwide
view of crime based on the voluntary submission
of police statistics by local law enforcement
agencies throughout the country. The extent of
coverage as demonstrated by this publication is
indeed a tribute to the cooperative and dedicated
spirit of the law enforcement community in this
country.
Historical Background
The Uniform Crime Reporting Program is the
outgrowth of a need for a national and uniform
compilation of law enforcement statistics. A
national program of collection of crime counts was
initiated in 1930 by the Committee on Uniform
Crime Records of the International Association
of Chiefs of Police (lACP). In that same year,
the Federal Bureau of Investigation was author-
ized as the national clearing house for statistical
information on crime. Crime reports are solicited
from law enforcement agencies throughout the
Nation based on uniform classifications and
procedures of reporting. Information regarding
crime is available to law enforcement in a variety
of data spheres, e.g., offenses, arrests, prosecu-
tions, convictions, and confinements. With the
view to providing as complete a picture of crime
in the United States as possible, the Committee
on Uniform Crime Records of the lACP chose
to obtain data from the sphere of offenses known
to police. Greater numbers of these data were
available than in any other category of reportable
crime information. A meaningful overview of
crime could be obtained from examination of
seven offenses which were selected because of
their seriousness, frequency in occurrence, and like-
lihood of being reported to police. These offenses,
known as the Crime Index offenses, were murder,
forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burg-
lary, larceny $50 and over, and auto theft. To
provide for uniformity nationwide in the reporting
of these offenses, standardized definitions were
adopted. This standardization was necessary to
overcome the variations in definitions of criminal
violations among the states and localities. Re-
porting agencies are required to interpret local
crimmal acts and law violations in the context of
these definitions prior to submission of their
counts to the FBI. The Uniform Crime Reporting
definitions of these offenses are set forth later in
this section. Because of the differences among
the state codes, there is no possibility in a program
such as this to distinguish between crimes by
designation such as "felony" or "misdemeanor".
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 playing an active and effective part
in quality control through surveys of police
records and crime reporting systems. Dr. Peter P.
Lejins, Director, Institute of Criminal Justice and
Criminology, University of Maryland, College
Park, Maryland, continues as a consultant to the
FBI in the conduct of tfiis 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 membersfiip and the national Uniform
Crime Reporting Program. This Committee
actively encourages sheriffs throughout the
country to fully participate in this important
Program.
Committees on Uniform Crime Reporting
within state law enforcement associations are
active in providing service by promoting interest in
the Uniform Crime Reporting Program, fostering
more widespread and more intelhgent use of
uniform crime statistics, and by lending assistance
to contributors when the need exists.
In recent years, the FBI has actively assisted
individual states in the development of state-
wide programs of police statistics compatible with
the national system. These state statistical pro-
grams provide the advantage of increased cover-
age of law enforcement agencies due to mandatory
reporting requirements. The state systems also
can provide direct and frequent service to law
enforcement agencies in assuring completeness and
quality of information provided by them. Through
coordination by the state collection agency, the
53
data is available for the use of the state ; and the
collection and reporting machinery for the na-
tional Program is substantially streamUned.
With the development of state Uniform Crime
Reporting Programs, the FBI ceases collection
of data directly from individual law enforcement
agencies within the state. Completed information
from these agencies is forwarded to the national
Program through the state Uniform Crime Re-
porting collection agency. There are 14 states
now operating state Uniform Crime Reporting
Programs. These include California, Kentucky,
Rhode Island, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Jersey, Nebraska, Florida, Wis-
consin, West Virginia, North Carolina and Del-
aware. Several other states are in various stages
of development. The conditions under which these
systems are developed provide for consistency and
comparability in the data submitted to the na-
tional program and also permit regular and
timely reporting of the national crime data.
These conditions are:
(1) The state Program must conform to the
national Uniform Crime Reports standards, defi-
nitions and information required. This, of course,
does not prohibit the state from collecting other
statistical data beyond the national collection.
(2) The state agency must have a proven, effective,
mandatory, statewide program and have instituted
acceptable quality control procedures. (3) Cover-
age within the state by a state agency must 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 print-
outs, and/or magnetic tape. (6) The state must
have the proven capability (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 deadlines. (7) The FBI will
continue its internal procedures of verifying and
reviewing individual agency reports for both
completeness and quality. (8) The FBI will con-
tinue to have direct contact with individual re-
porting units within the state where necessary in
connection with crime reporting 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 procedures.
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 of Uniform Crime Reporting
The fundamental objective of the Uniform
Crime Reporting Program is to produce a reUable
set of criminal statistics on a national basis for use
in law enforcement administration, operation and
management. This compiled data is also intended
for the use and information of other professionals
and scholars with an interest in the crime problem.
At the same time, this information is important
for the general consumption of the public as an
indicator of the crime factor in society.
The means utilized to attain these objectives
are:
(1) To measure the extent, fluctuation, dis-
tribution and nature of serious crime in the
United States through presentation of data on the
seven Crime Index offenses.
(2) To measure the total volume of serious crime
known to police.
(3) To show the activity and coverage of law
enforcement agencies through arrest counts and
police employee strength data.
Reporting Procedure
In the national Uniform Crime Reporting
Program contributing law enforcement agencies
are wholly responsible for compiling their own
crime reports and submitting them to the FBI.
The FBI in an effort to maintain quality and
uniformity in the data received furnishes those
contributing agencies upon their request training
in Uniform Crime Reporting procedures. All
contributors, also, are furnished with the Uniform
Crime Reporting Handbook which outhnes in
detail, procedures for scoring and classifying
offenses. The Handbook illustrates and discusses
the monthly and annual reporting forms as well
as the numerous tally sheets made available to
facilitate the periodic tabulation of desired data.
The jniblication of the Uniform Crime Re-
porting "Newsletter," which was initiated in
October, 1963, has continued with issues published
when pertinent. This "Newsletter" is utilized to
explain revisions in the Program as well as to
present information and instructional material to
assist contributors.
54
A centralized record system is necessary to the
sound operation of any law enforcement agency.
The record system is an essential basis for crime
reporting by the agency. The FBI makes avail-
able upon request to any law enforcement agency
the Manual of Police Records, which can serve
as a guide in the establishment or modification
of a basic, nonautomated police records system.
Special Agents of the FBI are utilized to en-
courage new Uniform Crime Reporting contrib-
utors and to assist them in the established re-
porting procedures of Uniform Crime Reporting.
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: mur-
der and nonnegligent manslaughter, manslaughter
by negligence, forcible rape, robbery, assault, bur-
glary, larceny, and auto theft. This count is taken
from a record of all complaints of crime received
by the law enforcement agency from victims, other
sources, and/or discovered by officers. Whenever
complaints of crime are determined through in-
vestigation to be unfounded or false they are
eliminated from the actual count. The number of
"actual offenses known" in these crime categories
is reported to the FBI without regard to whether
anyone is an-ested for the crime; the stolen prop-
erty is recovered; the local prosecutive policy; or
any other restrictive consideration. Law enforce-
ment agencies on a monthly basis report the total
number of these reported crimes which they clear
either by arrest or exceptional means. A separate
count of crimes cleared which involve only persons
under the age of 18 is shown. The number of law
enforcement officers killed and assaulted and the
value of property stolen and recovered during the
month are also reported.
On an annual basis arrests are reported for
all criminal acts, except traffic violations, by
crime category including the age, sex, and race
of each ])erson arrested. A report is also submitted
concerning the number of persons formally
charged by crime classification and the disposition
of such charges.
I^aw enforcement employee data specifically
encompasses the number of sworn and other
personnel, and is collected as of October 31.
During the initial stages of the development
of state programs the state authority is encouraged
to have law enforcement agencies report the de-
tailed 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 monthly basis. In January, 1972,
a monthly collection in the national program was
instituted concerning the number of law enforce-
ment officers assaulted by type of duty assign-
ment. Additional information is collected relative
to the type of weapon used, the circumstances of
the assault, and whether or not the victim officer
sustained injury.
Reporting Area
During calendar year 1972, crime reports were
received from law enforcement agencies repre-
senting 98 percent of the United States popula-
tion living in the standard metropolitan statistical
areas, 91 percent of the population in other
cities, and 76 percent of the rural population.
The combined coverage accounts for 9.3 percent
of the total 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
purposes rural is generally the unincorporated
portion of a county outside of standard metro-
politan statistical 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 statis-
tical area. In this use of suburban, the core city
is, of course, excluded. The suburban area concept
is used because of the particular crime conditions
which exist in these communities surrounding
the major core cities.
Standard metropolitan statistical areas are
generally made up of an entire county or counties
having at least one core city of 50,000 or more
inhabitants, with the whole meeting the require-
ments of certain metropolitan characteristics.
In New England, "town" instead of "county" is
used to describe standard metropolitan statis-
tical areas. These towns do not coincide generally
with established reporting units; therefore, metro-
politan state economic areas in New England are
used in these area tabulations since they en-
compass 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.
55
"Other cities" are urban places outside standard
metropolitan statistical areas. Most of these
places of 2,500 or more inhabitants are incor-
porated and comprise 11 percent of the 1971 popu-
lation. Rural areas are made up of the unincor-
porated portions of counties outside of urban
places and standard metropolitan statistical areas
and represent 18 percent of our national popula-
tion. 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 wthin the city limits (urban places).
Verification Procedures
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 approximately 10,000 jurisdic-
tions, prepared on a voluntary basis, the problems
of attaining uniformity are readily apparent.
Issuance of instructions does not complete the role
of the FBI. On the contrary, it is standard operat-
ing procedure to examine each incoming report not
only for arithmetical accuracy but also, and
possibly of even more importance, for reasonable-
ness as a possible 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
unusual variations are brought to the attention
of the submitting agency by correspondence.
During 1972, 21,500 communications were ad-
dressed to contributors primarily as a result of
editing and evaluation processes. Correspondence
with contributors is the principal tool for super-
vision of quality. Not only are the individual
reports studied, but also periodic trends for in-
dividual reporting units are prepared. Crime rates
for all units are grouped for general compara-
bility to assist in detecting variations and fluctua-
tions 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 elimination 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
organizations.
The FBI schedules Uniform Crime Reporting
seminars and workshops throughout the country
for law enforcement personnel. Contacts by Special
Agents of the FBI are utilized to enlist the coop-
eration of new contributors and to explain the pur-
pose of this Program and the methods of assembling
information for reporting. When correspondence,
including specially designed questionnaires fail,
Special Agents may be directed to visit the contrib-
utor to affirmatively resolve the misunder-
standing.
Variations from the desired reporting standard
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 re-
porting 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 assembled 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
follow presenting 1972 crime totals for the Index
of Crime classifications. The FBI conducts a
continuing program to further reduce the un-
reported areas. The continuing development and
implementation of mandatory state Uniform
Crime Reporting Programs will virtually eliminate
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 heu of figures for
the entire year from those agencies, reports for
as many as nine months are accepted as sufficiently
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
56
in 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 two consecutive years. Exclusions
from trend computations are made when figures
from a reporting \init are obviously inaccurate
for any period or when it is ascertained that
unusual fluctuations are due to such variables as
improved records procedures.
As a matter of standard procedure crime trends
for individual places are analyzed five times a
year by the FBI. Any significant increase or
decrease is made the subject of a special inquiry
with the contributing agency. In 1972, for example,
more than 2,000 letters were sent to police
administrators of contributing agencies inquiring
as to the reason for significant increases or
decreases in pertinent crime classifications. The
communication containing this inquiry specifically
directs attention to possible changes in records or
reporting procedures. When it is found that
crime reporting procedures are in part responsible
for the difference 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 reestimate crime volume and recon-
struct crime trends for prior years. It can be
assumed logically that the current year is the
most complete in terms of volume. Trend or jiercent
change as established by comj)arable units for
each two-year jjeriod 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 contain
the most reliable reports available for the current
year, and care should be exercised in any direct
comparisons with prior 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,
1972, were used. Population estimates for individ-
ual cities and counties were prepared using special
census reports, state sources and estimates, com-
mercial sources, and extrapolation where no other
estimate was available. Complete 1972 population
estimates for individual cities and counties were
used from 13 states while official sources in other
states provided limited data which was used selec-
tively. The estimated United States population
increase in 1972 was 1.0 percent over 1971 accord-
ing to the figures published by the Bureau of the
Census.
Recent Developments in Uniform Crime Reporting
Collection of traffic enforcement data by the
national Uniform Crime Reporting Program was
discontinued during 1972. This decision upon
advisement of the Committee on Uniform Crime
Records of the lACP was made in that this
information is in part duplicative of broader and
more detailed collections made at the state
level and by the National Safety Council.
Since 1958 "larceny $50 and over in value"
has been a Crime Index offense. The problem of
dollar valuation of larceny has been the subject
of discussion in the Committee on Uniform Crime
Records meetings since 1963. During recent years
the Committee has considered modification in
the definition of this offense due to problems of
evaluation of stolen property and inflation factors
in the $50 value which is basic to the defmition
of this offense. The Committee and the FBI have
had mutual concern in this matter and have jointly
discussed a variety of possible solutions including
increasing the dollar valuation from $50 to some
higher dollar value. This suggestion was seen as
only a tem])orary solution to the problem. In
the later part of 1972 consideration by the FBI,
the Committee, the operating state programs, and
several large citj^ police departments resulted in
the adoption of "total larceny" as a replacement
for the Crime Index offense of "larceny $50 and
over in value." This new classification will include
the total number of larceny-theft offenses known
to police without regard to value.
In the interest of maintaining comparability of
data in this larceny classification, contributing
agencies will continue reporting larceny offenses
with the $50 breakdown and will also report total
larceny-theft.
Offenses in Uniform Crime Reporting
Offenses in Uniform Crime Reporting are
57
507-082 O - 73 ■
divided into two groupings designated as Part I
and Part II offenses. Crime Index offenses are
included among the Part I offenses. Offense and
arrest information is reported for the Part I
offenses on a monthly basis whereas only arrest
information is reported for Part II offenses.
The Part I offenses are as follows;
1. Criminal homicide.— (a) Murder and non-
negligent manslaughter: all willful felonious homi-
cides as distinguished from deaths caused by
negligence. Excludes attempts to kill, assaults to
kill, suicides, accidental deaths, or justifiable
homicides. Justifiable homicides are limited to:
(1) the killing of a person by a peace officer in
hne of duty; (2) the kiUing of a person in the
act of committing a felony by a private citizen,
(b) Manslaughter by negligence : any death which
the police investigation estabhshed was primarily
attributable to gross negligence of some individual
other than the victim.

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

THE INDEX OF CRIME, 1972
In this section, tabulations are shown to indicate
the probable extent, fluctuation, and distribution
of crime for the United States as a whole, geo-
graphic 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 classifica-
tions used in the Index are: murder and non-
negligent 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 first 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 meaning-
ful 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 problem.
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 reUable estimates by state are available
nationwide.
Tables are presented showing the comparative
crime experience by population group of suburban
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 Crime 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 population size.
Police performance in clearing crimes by arrest is
presented by population group and geographic
division.
National city averages are also shown indicating
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 18 and disposition data on juvenile offenders
is provided by population group in Table 21.
City, suburban, and rural arrest rates are shown
for all criminal offenses. Arrest rates by population
group are also listed for specific offenses. This is
another step in building totals for crime cate-
gories 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
suburban 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 aver-
ages that usually about half the units used must
be above and about half below. National averages
can provide the pohce 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 effective-
ness 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
bj' agencies representing 77 percent of the United
States population. In usuag 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 maj'
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 ac-
tivity, as it relates to crime. Although police arrest
practices vary, particularly wdth 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 criminality
when used within its limitations, as must be done
with all forms of criminal statistics, including
court and penal.

Law Enforcement Employee Data
This section contains tables relating to law
enforcement personnel. Figures showing pohce
strength bj- number of full-time officers and civilian
employees are based on national averages. These
figures should not be interpreted as indicating
recommended or desirable pohce strength. Ade-
quate police requirements for a specific place can
only be determined following careful study and
analj'sis of the local situation together with a
thorough evaluation of the numerous factors which
affect pohce needs.
Two tables containing police employee rates are
set forth. In the first, total employees including
civilian personnel are used; whereas, in the second
table, only sworn personnel are used to compute
rates.
The law enforcement emploj-ee rate ranges in
Table 54, which include civihans, .show the inter-
quartile 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 police strength within the rate
ranges shown. Ba^ arraying rates in this manner,
extremes are eliminated.
In Table 55, where rates are pubUshed 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 distribu-
tion of police emploj-ees bj- sex, including civilian
personnel, are included in Table 56.
Three tables report figures relating to
police patrols by population groups and shift
assignments.
Pohce strength for reporting state police and
state highway patrol organizations is recorded
in one table. 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 comparative
workload and personnel strength because of
widely differing functions and other factors.
The wide variations in the numbers of sworn and
civihan personnel among the various states can
be accounted for in part by the differences in
responsibihties assigned to the departments. It
is pointed out, for instance, that state pohce
generally are responsible 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 highway patrol organizations for the
most part are hmited to traffic and highway
patrol, which includes handling all types of crime
which come to their attention during the per-
formance of their patrol functions. Many of
these state highway patrol groups also are author-
ized to and do participate in criminal investi-
gative work when requested to do so by local
departments or sheriff's offices.
The annual collection of law enforcement
employee data provides personnel counts, sex
of employees, and whether the employee is
sworn or civilian. Data with respect to officers
killed in the line of duty is obtained throughout
the year with the use of a special questionnaire.
Some data relative to police killings and assaults
are presented in this section of this publication.
Employee counts for individual agencies are
presented in tabular format in this section.
