FOREWORD
Crime is one of the gravest social problems of our time. It strikes at the
very heart of social organization by breeding fear, distrust, and uncertamty.
The full extent of lawlessness is not known, but that which comes to the
attention of the police antl that which is personally experienced and perceived
indisputably threaten the well-being of us all in every aspect of our daily lives.
The Uniform Crune Reporting Progi'am is an attempt to measure,
meaningfully, the occurrence of crime in the United States. While the Program
is designed for use by the law enforcement profession, it has also become a
yardstick for a public evaluation of the relative levels of criminal activity
prevailing in the Nation.
Although the Program is not a perfect benchmark for gaugmg crime at a
particular place and time, it does represent a valid approach toward this
assessment. Furthermore, it is a disciplined effort with more than 46 years of
experience which enhances the orderliness so fundamental to sound data
collection.
Essentially, the Program collects as much data concerning the occurrence
of certain root or Index offenses as are known to the overwhelmmg majority of
United States law enfoixement agencies. It then estimates the probable total
volume of these offenses had there been complete reporting of them throughout
the Nation. Having all law enforcement agencies in the United States partici-
pating fully m the Program would, of course, make unnecessary any estimation
process. However, the complex and independent structure of the Nation's law
enforcement network has made this goal elusive even to a program of the size
and duration of the Uniform Crime Reports. With the development of sub-
sidiary state Uniform Crime Reporting Programs, intended for each of the
50 states, the complete, nationwide collection of offenses known to law enforce-
ment nears fulfillment.
Whatever are the uses or whoever are the users of criminal justice data,
the Uniform Crime Reports provide the only comprehensive, periodic ac-
counting available of reported and discovered crime in the United States.
Accordingly, they can serve constructively to organize public opinion against
lawlessness and marshal our resources to combat crime.

Crime Factors
Crime is a social problem and the concern of the entire conmninity. The
law enforcement effort is limited to factors within its control.
Uniform Crime Reports gives a nationwide view of crime based on police
statistics contributed by local law enforcement agencies. The factors which
cause crime are many and vary from place to place throughout the country.
The reader ol this publication is cautioned against comparing statistical infor-
mation ol inchvidual communities solely based on a similarity in their population
counts. Po])ulation 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.
Stability of population, including commuters, seasonal, and other
transient types.
Climate, including seasonal weather conditions.
Educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.
Effective strength of the police force.
Standards of apjjointments 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.
Afhninistrative and investigative efficiency of law enforcement,
including degree of adherence to crime reporting standards.
Oganization and cooperation of adjoining and overlapping police
jurisdictions.

SUMMARY
UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM
Within the framework of the Uniform Crime
Reporting Program, the Federal Bureau of In-
vestigation (FBI) serves as a national clearing-
house for the crime statistics of over 13,000 law
enforcement agencies. The contributmg agencies
are responsible for compiling and submitting their
crime reports to the FBI, either directly or through
their state Program.
As of 1976, the law enforcement agencies active
in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program repre-
sented 98 percent of the United States' population
living in the Standard Metropolitan Statistical
Areas, 94 percent of the population in other cities,
and 89 percent of the rural population. The com-
bined coverage accounts for 96 percent of the total
national population, as estimated by the Bureau
of the Census.
Accordingly, the Uniform Crime Reports pro-
vide a periodic, nationwide assessment of crime
not available elsewhere in the criminal justice
system.
Historical Background
The Uniform Crime Reporting Program is the
outgrowth of a need for a national and uniform
compilation of law enforcement statistics. A vol-
untary national Program of collecting crime counts
was initiated in 19.30 by the Committee on Uni-
form Crime Records of the International Associa-
tion of Chiefs of Police (lACP). In that same
year, the FBI was authorized by the Congress of
the United States to serve as the national clearing-
house for statistical information on crime.
Crime reports are obtained from law enforce-
ment agencies throughout the Nation based on
uniform classifications and procedures of report-
ing. Information regarding crime is readily avail-
able to law enforcement for offenses, arrests, and
the value of stolen and recovered property. To a
much lesser degree, data concerning prosecutions,
convictions, and confinements are obtained by
law enforcement agencies in cooperation with
other elements of the criminal justice system.
In an effort to provide as complete a picture of
crime in the United States as possible, the Com-
mittee on Uniform Crime Records of the lACP
chose to obtain data on offenses that became
known to police. Greater numbers of these data
were available than in any other category of
reportable crime information. A meaningful over-
view of crime was available through examination
of seven offenses which were selected because of
their seriousness, frecpiency of occurrence, and
likelihood of being reported to police. These
offenses, known as the Crime Index offenses, are
murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault,
burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
To provide for uniformity nationwide in the
reporting of these offenses, standardized defini-
tions were adopted. This standardization was nec-
essary to overcome the variations in definitions of
criminal offenses in the states and localities
throughout the country. Reporting agencies are
required to interpret local criminal 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 elsewhere in this publication.
Because of the variance in punishment for the
same offenses among the state codes, there is no
possibility in a program such as this to distinguish
between felony or misdemeanor crimes.
The Committee on Uniform Crime Records,
lACP, continues to serve in an advisory capacity
to the FBI concerning the operation of this Pro-
gram. In this connection, the lACP plays an
active and effective part in quality control through
surveys of police records and crime reporting sys-
tems. Additionally, the Program employs profes-
sional statistical analysts whose responsibihties
include the development and perfection of logical
procedures to authenticate the crime estimation
effort.
The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) in
June 1966, estabHshed a Committee on Uniform
Crime Reporting to serve in an advisory capacity
to the NSA membership and the national Uniform
Crime Reporting Program. This Committee ac-
tively 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
promoting interest in the Uniform Crime Report-
ing Program, fostering widespread and more intel-
ligent use of uniform crime statistics, and lending
assistance to contributors when the need exists.
The FBI continues to actively assist individual
states in the development of statewide programs
of police statistics compatible with the national
Program. These state statistical programs provide
the advantage of increased coverage of law en-
forcement agencies due to state mandatory re-
porting requirements. The state systems also can
provide direct and frequent service to law enforce-
ment agencies in assuring completeness and quality
of information provided by them. Through coordi-
nation by the state data collection agency, infor-
mation is more readily available for the use of
the state. The collection and reporting machinery
for the national Program also is streamlined
substantially.
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 41 states
presently operating Uniform Crime Reporting
Programs. Additionally, other states are in various
stages of developing their own Uniform Crime
Reporting Programs. The conditions under which
these systems are developed provide for consist-
ency and comparability in the data submitted to
the national Program. They 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, defini-
tions, and information required. These require-
ments, of course, do not prohibit the state from
collecting other statistical data beyond the
national collection. (2) The state criminal justice
agency must have a proven, effective, mandatory,
statewide Program and have instituted acceptable
quality control procedures. (3) Coverage within
the state by a state agency must be, at least,
equal to that attained by national Uniform Crime
Reports. (4) The state agency must have adequate
field staff assigned to conduct audits and to assist
contributing agencies in record practices and
crime reporting procedures. (5) The state agency
must furnish to the FBI all of the detailed data
regularly collected by the FBI in the form of
duplicate returns, computer printouts, and/or
magnetic tapes. (6) The state must have the
proven capability (tested over a period of time)
to supply all the statistical data required in time
to meet national Uniform Crime Reports publica-
tion deadlines. Additionally, the FBI will continue
its internal procedures of editing and reviewing
individual agency reports for both completeness
and quality; will continue to have direct contact
with individual contributors within the state
where necessary in connection with crime re-
porting matters, but will coordinate such contacts
with the state agency; and upon request, will
continue its training programs within the state
with respect to police records and crime reporting
procedures. For mutual benefit, these training
sessions will be coordinated with the state agency.
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
law enforcement agencies within the state.
Objectiye of Uniform Crime Reporting
The fundamental objective of the Uniform
Crime Reporting Program is to produce a reliable
set of criminal statistics on a national basis for
use in law enforcement administration, operation,
and management. These statistics are also intended
for the use and information of other criminal
justice professionals, legislators, and scholars
who have an interest in the crime problem. At
the same time, this information is important as a
reference source for the public as an indicator '
of the level of criminality in our society.
Reporting Procedures
Law enforcement agencies (police, sheriflFs, and
state police) report the number of offenses that ,
become known to them, on a monthly basis, in the
following crime categories: murder and nonnegli-
gent manslaughter, manslaughter by negligence, !
forcible rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny- |
theft, and motor vehicle theft. This count is taken (
from a record of all complaints of crime received
by the law enforcement ag:ency from victims or
other sources, and/or that discovered by officers.
These crimes are the Part I offenses in the Pro-
gram. The Part II offenses, for which only data
concerning persons arrested and charged are
collected, encompass all other crimes.
Whenever complaints of crime are determined
thi'Oiigh investigation to be unfounded or false,
they are eliminated from the actual count. The
number of "actual offenses known" in the Part I,
Crime Index categories is reported to the FBI
whether or not anyone is arrested for the crime,
the stolen property is recovered, or prosecution is
undertaken. Law enforcement agencies, on a
monthly basis, report the total number of these
crimes which they clear, either by arrest or excep-
tional means. A separate count of Index crimes
cleared which involve the arrest of offenders under
the age of 18 is shown. The value of property
stolen and recovered during the month is also
reported for Index Crimes.
Arrests are reported monthly for both Part I
and Part II offenses, excluding traffic violations,
bj' crime category and include age, sex, and race
of each person arrested. Also, a report is submitted
on an annual basis, by crime classification, con-
cerning the number of persons formally charged
and the disposition of such charges.
The number of law enforcement officers assault-
ed or killed by type of duty assignment, type of
weapon used, the circumstances of the assault,
and whether the victim officer sustained injury is
collected monthly. Other law enforcement employ-
ee data, specifically encompassing the number of
full-time sworn officers and other personnel, are
reported annually. This information is collected
as of October 31 of each calendar year.
Although the responsibility of compilmg and
submitting crime reports rests on the individual
police agency, the FBI endeavors to maintain
data validity by providing training seminars and
instructional materials in Uniform Crime Report-
ing procedures. All contributing agencies are sup-
plied with the Uniform Crime Reporting Hand-
book which outlines, in detail, procedures for
classifying and scoring offenses. The Handbook
illustrates and discusses the monthly and annual
reporting forms, as well as the tally forms which
facilitate the periodic tabulation of data.
The Handbook is not the sole method to insure
data quality. The FBI schedules Uniform Crime
Reporting seminars and workshops throughout
the country for law enforcement personnel. FBI
personnel are utilized to enlist the cooperation of
new contributors and to explain the purpose of
this Program and the methods of assembling
information for reporting. When reporting prob-
lems exist in the individual agencies and remedial
efforts through correspondence do not help, FBI
Headquarters personnel may be directed to visit
the contributor to aid them in resolving their
problems.
A good record system is an essential base for
accurate crime reporting. The FBI makes avail-
able, upon request, to an.y law enforcement agency
the Manual of Police Records, which can serve as
a guide in the establishment or modification of a
sound police record sj'stem.
To enhance communication among Program
participants, the publication of the Uniform
Crime Reporting "Newsletter" was initiated.
This "Newsletter" is utilized to explain revisions
in the Program, as well as to present information
and instructional material to assist contributors.
Editing Procedures
When the individual reports are submitted to
the FBI, data reliability continues as a primary
concern. Issuing instructions and conducting
training seminars do not complete the role of the
FBI. Each incoming report is examined not only
for arithmetical accuracy but also, as a possible
indication of error, for deviations from the ex-
periences of similar agencies.
Variations in reported crime levels and ratios
established by previous reports, may indicate
possible incompleteness in reporting or changes
in reporting procedures. Necessary arithmetic
adjustments or unusual variations are brought to
the attention of the submitting agencj^ by corre-
spondence. Correspondence with contributors and
state Uniform Crime Reporting Programs is the
principal tool for supervision of quality. Not only
are individual reports studied, but also, periodic
trends for individual rejjorting units are prepared.
As a standard procedure, crime trends for each
reporting agency are analyzed five times a year by
the FBI. Any significant increase or decrease is
made the subject of a special inquiry to the con-
tributing agency. In 1976, for example, approxi-
mately 4, .300 contributing agencies were queried
as to the reason for significant increases or de-
creases in pertinent crime classifications. The
communications containing this inquiry spe-
cifically directs attention to possible changes in
records or reporting procedures. When it is found
that crime reporting procedures are in part re-
sponsible for the difference in the level of crime,
the figures for specific crime categories or totals
are excluded from the trend tabulations.
Variations from desired reporting standards
which cannot be resolved are brought to the
attention of the Committee on Uniform Crime
Records of the lACP. The Conmaittee 'may
designate a representative to make a personal visit
to the agency to cooperatively assist in a needed
authentication of records and reporting methods.
Regardless of the extent of the statistical
editing processes used by the FBI, the accuracy
of the data assembled under this Program depends
primarily on the efforts exerted by each contributor
to meet the necessary standards of reporting. For
this reason, the FBI is not in a position to vouch
for the validity of individual agency reports.
Reporting Area
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 imincorporated
portion of a county outside of Standard Metro-
politan Statistical Areas. In addition, statistics
are presented in certain tables relative to "subur-
ban" areas. A suburban area consists of cities with
population less than 50,000 together with counties
which are within a Standard MetropoUtan Statis-
tical Area. In this use of suburban, the major
core city is, of course, excluded. The suburban
area concept is used because of the particular
crime conditions which exist in these communities
surroundmg the major core cities.
A Standard Metropohtan Statistical Area, gen-
erally, is made up of a core city with a population
of 50,000 or more inhabitants and the surrounduig
county or counties which share certain metropoli-
tan characteristics. In New England, "town"
instead of "county" is used to describe Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas. These towns do
not coincide generally with estabUshed reporting
units; therefore, metropohtan state economic
areas in New England are used in these areas'
tabulations since they encompass an entire county
or counties. Standard MetropoUtan Statistical
Areas, as used in this publication, make up
approximately 73 percent of the total United
States' population.
"Other cities" are urban places outside Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Most of these
places are incorporated and comprise 12 percent
of the 1976 population. Riu"al areas are made up
of the unincorporated portions of counties outside
of urban places and Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas and represent 15 percent of our
national population. As a general rule, sheriffs,
county police, and many state police report on
crimes committed within the limits of the counties
but outside cities, while local police report on
crime committed within the city Umits (urban
places) .
The Crime Totals
Communities not represented by crime reports
are relatively few. An examination of the tables
found in this document show 1976 crime totals
for the Index classifications and the extent of
coverage of the data for a particular table. The
FBI conducts a continuing program to further
reduce the unreported areas. The continuing
development and implementation of mandatory
state Uniform Crime Reporting Programs, hope-
fully, will eliminate imreported areas.

Due to the voluntary natiu^e of the Uniform
Crime Reporting Program, it is possible that a
police agency would submit fewer than the re-
quired twelve months of offense reports. Tables
one through five of this publication represent total
crime in the United States; therefore, offense
counts here are estimated for agencies which fail
to submit complete reports for the year. Offense
estimation occurs within each of three areas:
Standard MetropoUtan Statistical Areas, other
cities, and rural areas. It is assumed that the
unreported portion of these areas has the same
proportionate crime experience as that for which
reports were received. Estimates for unreported
areas are based on the reported crime experience
of similar areas within a state.
Crime Trends
Crime data for trends are homogeneous to the
extent that figures from same reporting units,
on the basis of population, 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 alwaj's established on the basis of two
consecutive years. Exclusions from trend com-
putations are made when figures from a reporting
unit are obviously inaccurate for any period
or when it is ascertained that unusual fluctuations
are due to such variables as improved records
procedures.
Year-to-year trends in Uniform Crime Reports
are valid and may be used to reasonablj^ establish
long-term trends, as well as to reestimate crime
volume and reconstruct crime trends for prior
years. It can be assumed, logically, that the
current year is the most complete in terms of
volume. Trend or percent change as established
by comparable units for each two-year period
is then applied as the basis for reestimating the
volume of crime for prior years.
On the other hand, crime rate tables by state
and Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area con-
tain the most reliable reports available for the
current year, and care should be exercised in any
direct comparisions with prior issues. Changes
in crime level may have been due in part to
improved reporting or records procedures.
Population Data
In comjniting crime rates by state, geographic
division, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area,
and the Nation, population estimates released by
the Bureau of the Census on July 1, 1976, were
used. Population estimates for individual cities
and counties were prepared using special census
reports, state sources and estimates, commercial
sources, and extrapolation where no other estimate
was available. Complete 1976 population esti-
mates for individual cities and counties were used
from 15 states, while official sources in other states
provided limited data which were used selectively.
The estimated United States population increase
in 1976 was 1 percent over 1975 according to the
figures published by the Bureau of the Census.
Recent Developments in Uniform Crime Reporting
During 1974, the Uniform Crime Records Com-
mittee of the lACP and the Committee on Uni-
form Crime Reporting of the NSA decided to ex-
pand the collection of arrest data for narcotic
drug violations. After considerable research into
the collection of these data, the Committees de-
cided to discontinue the use of the term Narcotic
Drug Laws to describe these offenses and replace
it with Drug Abuse Violations. The collection for-
mat was expanded to include the gathering of
data on Drug Abuse Violations for the act of
possession, as well as the sale and manufacture of
drugs, in violation of the law. The subcategories of
Opium or Cocaine, Marijuana, Synthetic Nar-
cotics, and Other Dangerous Non-Narcotic
Drugs continue in use with this revised collection
format, which became effective in January 1976.
Another format change, efTective in January
1976, concerned the expanded collection of offender
data relating to Mm-der and NonnegUgent Man-
slaughter offenses. Under the expanded format,
data are gathered on the age, sex, and race of the
offender, along with the relationship of the victim
to the offender. Supplementary homicide data
continue to be collected on the age, sex, and race
of the victim, the weapon used, and a brief
statement of the circumstances surrounding the
incident.
The third national State Uniform Crime Re-
porting Conference was held on May 31-June .3,
1977, at the FBI Academy at Quantico, Virginia.
Attending the Conference were representatives
from all state Uniform Crime Reporting Programs;
from law enforcement agencies developing state
Programs within theu- respective states; and
members of the Committee on Uniform Crime
Records of the lACP and the Uniform Crime
Reporting Committee of the NSA. Regional
Directors of the Law Enforcement Assistance
Administration and representatives of lACP
Headquarters were also in attendance. A resolu-
tion adopted by the joint meeting of the lACP
and NSA Committees will discontinue the collec-
tion of disposition data on persons charged follow-
ing the submission of 1977 Uniform Crime Re-
ports. This does not preclude, however, the
continued collection of disposition data by any
agency wishing to do so.
The joint lACP-NSA Conmaittee membership
concluded that the present collection of disposition
data is inadequate. It recommended that a study
be instituted to develop a more complete and
efficient manner for the collection of disposition
data.

MURDER AND NONNEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER
DEFINITION
Murder is defined in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program as the
willful killing of another. The classification of this offense, as in all of
the other Crime Index offenses, is based solely on police investigation
as opposed to the determination of a court, medical examiner, coroner,
jury, or other judicial body.
Deaths caused by negligence, suicide, accident, or justifiable homi-
cide are not included in the count for this offense classification. Attempts
to murder or assaults to murder are scored as aggravated assaults and
not as murder.

In 1976, there were an estimated 18,780 murders
committed La the United States. This number of
murders is approximately 2 percent of the total
violent crimes.
An analysis of murder by month in 1976 shows
that July had the greatest frequency of murder
as compared to any other month of the year.
A geographic breakdown of murder by region
showed 42 percent of the murders occurred in the
Southern States, 23 percent in the North Central
States, 18 percent in the Northeastern States,
and 17 percent in the Western States.

Trend
The number of murders decreased 8 percent
from 1975 to 1976.
Regionally, the number of murder offenses in
1976 decreased 10 percent in the Southern States,
9 percent in the North Central States, 8 percent
in the Northeastern States, and 5 percent in the
Western States.
Large core cities of 250,000 or more inhabitants
had a 10 percent decrease in the number of
murders in 1976 while the suburban and rural
areas experienced decreases of 11 percent each.
The following chart reveals an increase of 1
percent from 1972 to 1976 in the murder counts.

Rafe
In 1976, there were 8.8 victims of murder for
every 100,000 inhabitants in the Nation. This
was a decrease of 8 percent from the murder rate
of 9.6 per 100,000 iniabitants recorded in 1975.
The metropolitan areas reported a murder rate
of 10 victims per 100,000 inhabitants, the rural
areas a rate of 8 per 100,000 inhabitants, and cities
outside metropohtan areas reported a murder
rate of 5 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The number of murder victims in proportion to
population was highest in the Southern States with
11.3 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. This is a
decrease of 11 percent from the mur.der rate of
that Region in 1975. In 1976, the Western States
showed a murder rate of 8.5, a decrease of 6 per-
cent from 1975. The North Central States had a
rate of 7.4 which was a 9 percent decrease for
those states. The Northeastern Region had a rate
of 7.0, a decrease of 8 percent when compared to
the 1975 rate.
Nature
The law enforcement agencies which participate
in Uniform Crime Reporting cooperate in pro-
viding additional information regarding homicide
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 and offender; the weap-
on used in the murder; the circumstances sur-
rounding the offense ; and the relationship between
the victim and offender.
The victims of murder in 1976 were male in
approximately three out of four instances. This
ratio of male to female victims is similar to the
experience in the last several years. Approximately
51 out of 100 murder victims were white, 47 were
Negro, and 2 percent were other races. Three of
every ten murder victims were 20 through 29 years
of age.
The victim and offender were identified in
10,847 cases during 1976, where there were a
single victim and a single offender. A study of
these situations reveals that of 4,997 white victims,
4,454 were murdered by white offenders and of
5,628 Negro victims, 5,412 were murdered by
people of the same race.
The offender could not be identified in 3,596 of
the murders and in the remainder of the murders
there was a multiple situation with more than one
victim/offender.

In 1976, 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 com-
mission 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,
64 percent of the homicides were committed
through the use of firearms and 49 percent were
committed with handguns. In 1975, 51 percent of
the murders were through the use of handguns.
Cutting or stabbing weajions were used in 18
percent of the murders in the Nation. The North-
eastern States reported the greatest use of knives
or cutting instruments with one out of four
murders beiag 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 such as blunt objects,
poisons, explosives, arson, drowning, etc. were used
in 12 percent of the murders. In the remaining 6
percent of the murders, personal weapons such as
hands, fists, and feet were used.
A comparative studj' for the past five j^ears
shows a decrease from 66 percent of all homicides
through use of firearms in 1972 to 64 percent of all
homicides ia 1976. A comparative analysis of
weapons used to commit murder for 1972 through
1976 is shown in tabular form.
The activities resulting in murder vary from
arguments to felonies. Murder is largely a societal
jDroblem beyond the control of law enforcement.

Persons Arrested
Based on reports submitted by law enforcement
agencies, 9 percent of all persons arrested for
murder were under 18 years of age and 43 percent
were under 25. During the period 1972-1976,
there was a 27 percent decrease in the number of
persons under 18 years of age arrested for murder.
The adult arrests increased 13 percent for murder
offenses during this period. Numerically, the 18
to 22 year age group had the heaviest involvement
during 1976 with 24 percent of the total arrests
coming from within this age group. Negroes
made up 53 percent of the arrests for murder in
1976.
Persons Charged
Law enforcement agencies' reports disclose that
71 percent of all adults arrested for murder La
1976 were prosecuted during the year. Forty-
eight percent of the adults prosecuted were found
guilty as charged, and 14 percent were convicted
on some lesser charge. The remaining won release

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
DEFINITION
Aggravated assault is the unlawful attack by one person upon another
for the purpose of inflicting severe bodily injury usually accompanied
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 suc-
cessfulty completed.

For each 100,000 persons in the United States
during 1976, there were 229 victims of aggravated
assault. The metropolitan areas had an aggravated
assault rate of 255 per 100,000 inhabitants. The
cities outside metropolitan areas had a victim
rate of 196 per 100,000 inhabitants and the rate
for rural areas was 128 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The victim rate for the Nation for aggravated
assault increased 1 percent over 1975 and 21
percent over 1972.
The Western States were highest with a rate
of 294 per 100,000 followed by the Southern
States with 252, the Northeastern States with
208, and the North Central States 175.
Nofurc
In 1976, 24 percent of the serious assaults were
committed with the use of' firearms. Knives or
other cutting instruments were used in 23 percent
of the assaults, 26 percent were committed with
blunt objects or other dangerous weapons. The
remaining assaults were with personal weapons
such as hands, fists, and feet. A comparison
of aggravated assault from 1972 to 1976 indicates
that firearms as a weapon increased 16 percent;
assaults with knives or other cutting instruments
rose 12 percent; assaults where blunt objects or
other dangerous weapons were used increased
41 percent; and those aggravated assaults through
use of personal weapons climbed 32 percent.
The table which follows demonstrates the regional
experience of aggravated assault in 1976 by type

Clearances
Law enforcement agencies were successful in
solving 63 of each 100 cases of aggravated assault
in 1976. This relatively high solution rate is con-
sistent with high solution rates in other crimes
against the person. Persons under 18 years of age
were identified in 11 percent of these clearances.
Due to the nature of these crimes, arrests are
frequently made by personnel of police patrol
units who happen upon or are called to the scene
of an assault. This type of patrol duty is hazardous
to the officers. Since 1967, 164 officers have lost
13
their lives responding to disturbance-t3'pe calls,
which frequently involve familj- or neighborhood
arguments.
Persons Arrested
Arrests for aggravated assault in 1976 increased
40 percent over 1972. Since 1972, arrests of persons
18 years of age and over for aggravated assault
have increased 40 percent and arrests of persons
under 18 years of age for this offense have increased
42 percent. As a group, persons 21 years of age
and over accounted for 68 percent of the arrests
for aggravated assault in 1976 and those under
age 21 accounted for 32 percent. Arrests of males
outnumbered females by 7 to 1.
Persons Charged
Seventy out of every 100 adults arrested for
aggravated assault in 1976 were prosecuted. Thir-
teen percent of the adults prosecuted for this
offense were convicted of lesser charges. Accjuittals
and dismissals accounted for .35 percent of the
dispositions for all jiersons charged with aggra-
vated assault. Eighteen percent of all persons proc-
essed were referred to juvenile court jurisdictions.

FORCIBLE RAPE
—DEFINITION —
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 (with-
out force) is not counted in this category.

Volume
During 1976, there was an estimated total of
56,730 forcible rapes. Forcible rape continues, as
in prior years, to comprise less than 1 percent of
the Crime Index total. It makes up 6 percent of
the volume of crimes of violence. When viewed
geographically, the Southern States recorded 32
percent of the total volume, the Western States
reported 26 percent, the North Central States
reported 24 percent and the Northeastern States
reported 18 percent of the forcible rapes.
The following chart indicates that more rapes
occur in the summer months of the year.

Trend
The volume of forcible rape offenses in 1976
increased 1 percent over 1975, and 21 percent
over 1972. During 1976, this crime occurred most
frequently in large cities with 250,000 or more
inhabitants, which accounted for 41 percent of the
forcible rapes. Forcible rape decreased 3 percent
in this group and increased 1 percent in the
suburban areas surrounding the large core cities.
The rural areas registered a 2 percent increase over
1975. Geographically, the Western States reported
an increase of 5 percent, followed by the Southern
States with an increase of 3 percent. The North-
eastern and North Central States reported
decreases of 3 percent.

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 1976, 52 out of every
100,000 females in this country were reported rape
victims. Since 1972, the forcible rape rate has
increased 17 percent. In calendar year 1976, the
forcible rape rate increased less than one percent
over 1975.
The metropolitan areas experienced a risk rate
of 61 victims per 100,000 females. Cities outside
metropolitan areas experienced a risk rate of 26
per 100,000 females and the rate in the rural areas
was 25 per 100,000 females. Females in the Western
States were victims of forcible rape at the rate of
76 per 100,000. In the South this rate was 51 per
100,000, 46 per 100,000 in the North Central
States and 40 per 100,000 in the Northeast.
Nature
In 1976, 74 percent of all rape offenses were by
force. The remainder were attempts or assaults to
conmait forcible rape. This offense is a violent
crime against the person, and of all the Crime
Index offenses, law enforcement administrators
recognize that this offense is probably one of the
most under-reported crimes due primarily to the
fear of victims for their assailants and the sense
of embarrassment over the incident. As a national
average, 19 percent of all forcible rapes reported to
police were determined by investigation jto-^Je
unfounded. In other words, the police established
that no forcible rape offense or attempt to rape
had occurred. Crime counts in this publication are
limited to actual offenses established by police
investigation.
Clearances
Of the total forcible rapes reported in 1976 to
law enforcement, 52 percent were cleared by arrest.
The large cities with 250,000 or more people re-
ported a 51 percent clearance rate. The suburban
areas of the country reported a 53 percent clear-
ance rate while the rural areas had a 69 percent
clearance rate. Of the total clearances for forcible
rape, 10 percent were by the arrest of persons
under the age of 18.
Persons Arrested
The grouping of males 16 to 20 years of age
constituted the greatest concentration of arrests
for forcible rape in 1976. Total arrests for this of-
fense decreased two percent, while the arrests of
persons 18 years of age and over were down one
16
percent from 1975. Fifty-seven percent of the ar- Persons Charged

Rate
The 1976 rate of 196 robberies per 100,000
inhabitants was 10 percent below the 1975 rate.
Robbery is primarily a large cit}^ crime. Seven out
of ten robberies in the United .States occurred in
the cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants.
These cities experienced 521 robberies per 100,000
people.
There were 255 robberies per 100,000 inhabitants
in the metropolitan areas during 1976. The cities
outside metropolitan areas experienced a rate of
51 robbery offenses per 100,000 people. In the
rural areas, the robbery rate was 21 per 100,000
inhabitants.
Robbery occurred most frequentlj- in the North-
eastern States where the rate was 288 per 100,000
inhabitants. The Western States had a rate of 207,
the North Central States 176, and the Southern
States 140 per 100,000 people.
No fore
Supplemental robbery information is obtained
from law enforcement agencies as a part of the
monthly collection of statistical data under this
Program. In 1976, these figures disclosed that
nearly half of the robberies were committed on
the street. Nationally, bank robbery offenses in-
creased from 4,180 offenses in 1975 to 4,565 in
1976. The average bank robbery dollar less, how-
ever, decreased from 4,373 in 1975 to 3,190 in 1976.
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
muggers and the strong-armed robbers, as well as
other armed robbers, suffer serious personal injury.
During 1976, the average value loss in each rob-
bery incident was $338 for a total reported loss
of $142 million.
The 1972-1976 trends in robbery by type, as
illustrated by the following charts, show bank
robbery has increased 74 percent. During this
same period, gas or service station holdups have
increased 11 percent; chain store robberies in-
creased 50 percent; and holdups of other com-
mercial or business establishments rose 6 percent.
During the 1972-1976 time period, street robberies
increased 6 percent and residential robberies in-
creased 16 percent.
In 1976, 43 percent of all robberies were com-
mitted through the use of firearms, 13 percent
were by the use of knives or cutting instruments

Clearances
In 1976, law enforcement agencies were success-
ful in clearing 27 percent of the robbery offenses
reported. Eighty -four percent of the robberies
which were cleared by arrest involved adults. Of
the strong-arm robberies cleared, 26 percent were
by the arrest of persons under 18 years of age. In
robberies where knives of other cutting instru-
ments were used, persons under the age of 18 were
involved in 14 percent of the clearances, 9 percent
in those in which firearms were used, and 15 per-
cent in which other dangerous weapons were used.
Persons Arrested
Nationally, arrests for robbery decreased 16
percent in 1976 when compared to 1975. The
greatest volume of arrests occurred in cities and
decreased 17 percent. In the rural areas, arrests
decreased 22 percent and in the suburban areas
arrests decreased 16 percent.
E.xamination of arrest data discloses that 76
percent of the persons arrested for robbery were
under 25 years of age and 56 percent were under
21 years of age. Of all persons arrested for robbery,
34 percent were under the age of 18. Robbery
arrests for this young-age group recorded a 19
percent decrease in 1976 over 1975.
In 1976, 7 of every 100 persons arrested for
robbery were females. Arrests of women for this
offense declined 1 1 percent in 1976 when compared
to 1975.
From a standpoint of race, 59 percent of those
arrested were Negro, 39 percent were white, and
all other races made up the remainder.
Persons Charged
In 1976, 72 percent of all adults arrested for
robbery were prosecuted. Thirty-one percent of the
persons processed for this crime were juveniles
whose cases were referred to juvenile court juris-
dictions. Of the adults prosecuted in 1976, 56
percent were convicted of the substantive offense,
8 percent were convicted for lesser charges, and
the remainder were acquitted or their cases were
dismissed.

rate increased 26 percent. The burglary rate for
1976 decreased 6 percent when compared with
1975. The metropolitan areas reported a rate of
1,646 burglaries per 100,000 people. The rural
areas recorded a rate of 768 offenses per 100,000

had a rate of 1,014 burglaries per 100,000.
The Western States recorded the highest
burglary rate in 1976 with 1,962 offenses per
100,000 inhabitants followed by the Northeastern
States with a rate of 1,447, the Southern States
1,346, and the North Central States 1,195.

In 1976, 75 percent of the burglaries involved
forcible entry, 18 percent were unlawful entry
(without force) and the remainder were forcible
entrj' attempts.
Nonresidential offenses accounted for 37 percent
of the total burglaries in 1976; residential burglai'ies
accounted for 63 percent. Daytime burglaries of
residences decreased 2 percent in 1976 in com-
parison to the 1975 experience. Considering the
period 1972-1976, there has been an overall
increase of 36 percent in the volume of daytime
residential burglaries.
Economically, the offense of burglary repre-
sents a substantial sum. Victims suffered a loss of
$1.4 billion in 1976 through the offense of burglar^'.
During 1976, residential losses amounted to $955
million. In 1975, that loss amounted to $925
million. Nonresidential losses due to burglaries
amounted to $432 million in 1976 and $446 million
in 1975. In 1976, the average dollar loss per bur-
glary was $449.
Qleatancei
In 1976, law enforcement was successful in
clearing 17 percent of the total burglary offenses.
Adults were involved in 67 percent of all cases
cleared while young persons under 18 years of
age were involved in 33 percent. Law enforcement
agencies in cities 250,000 and above cleared 16
percent of these crimes in 1976. In the suburban
areas 17 percent were solved while 19 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. Total arrests for burglary in 1976, de-

under 18 accounted for 51 percent of all arrests for
this crime. Females were involved in 5 of every
100 arrests for burglary during 1976. Arrests of
whites accounted for 69 percent of all burglary
arrests in 1976. Twenty-nine i)ercent of the persons
arrested for burglary were Negroes.
Persons Charged
In 1976, 84 percent of the adults arrested for
burglary were prosecuted. Of the adults prose-
cuted, 59 ])ercent were found guilty as charged.
Eleven percent of those charged with burglary
were convicted of a lesser offense and 30 percent
were freed through acquittal or dismissal of the
charges. Juveniles referred to juvenile court
jurisdiction accounted for 54 percent of all persons
processed for burglary in 1976.

LARCENY-THEFT
-DEFINITION-
Larceny-theft is the unlawful taking or stealing of property or articles
without the use of force, violence, or fraud. It includes crime such as
shoplifting, pocket-picking, purse-snatching, thefts from motor vehicles,
thefts of motor vehicle parts and accessories, bicycle thefts, etc. In the
Uniform Crime Reporting Program this crime category does not include
embezzlement, "con" games, forgerj^ and worthless checks. Motor
vehicle theft, of course, is excluded from this category for crime re-
porting purposes inasmuch as it is a separate Crime Index offense.

Volume
In 1976, there were 6,270,800 offenses of larceny-
theft reported, which is an increase from 5,977,700
such crimes in 1975. This offense makes u]) 55
percent of the Crime Index total. From a seasonal
standpoint, the volume of larceny-theft was high-
est during the summer months of 1976.
Geographical!}', the volume of larceny-theft
was highest in the Southern and North Central
States which reported 30 and 27 percent respec-
tively, followed by the Western States with 28
percent, and the Northeastern States with the
remainder.

Trend
Larceny-theft increased 5 percent in 1976 when
compared to the previous year. The large cities
with over 250,000 inhabitants reported an increase
of 6 percent in volume. The rural and suburban
areas increased 5 and 4 percent, respectively.
Geographically, the Northeastern States re-
ported an increase of 11 percent, the Southern
States increased 6 percent, while the Western
States increased 3 ]iercent and the North Central
States recorded an increase of 1 percent.
Nationwide, this offense has increased 51 per-
cent since 1972.

Rate
During 1976, there were 2,921 larceny-thefts
per 100,000 inhabitants, an increase of 4 percent
over the 1975 rate. The rate has increased 47
percent since 1972. In 1976, the larceny-theft
rate in the metropolitan areas was 3,323 per
100,000 inhabitants, 2,889 per 100,000 inhabitants
in cities outside any metropolitan areas and
1,002 in the rural areas. Viewed geographically,
the Western States reported the highest larceny-
theft rate with 3,740 offenses per 100,000 inhabi-
tants, which was a 1 percent increase over 1975.
The North Central States had a rate of 2,944, up
1 percent; the Southern States 2,717, up 5 per-
cent; and the Northeastern States with 2,542
reported an increa.se of 11 percent in the rate.
Nature
The average value of property stolen in each
larceny-theft in 1976 was $184, up from $166 in
1975. When the average value is applied to the
estimated crimes in this category, the dollar loss
to victims is $1.2 billion. 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 indicate these recoveries did not ma-
terially reduce the overall loss. In addition many
oflFenses in this category, particularly where the
value of the stolen goods is small, never come to
police attention.
In 1976, the average value of goods and property
reported stolen from victims of pickpockets was
$135, by pursesnatchers $92, by shoplifters $39,
by thefts from motor vehicles $216, and by
miscellaneous thefts from buildings $283.
From year to year, the distribution of larcenj'-
theft as to type of theft remains relatively
constant. As in prior years, a major portion of
these thefts, 42 percent, represented thefts of
motor vehicle parts and accessories and other
thefts from motor vehicles. Other major types
of thefts which contributed to the large number
of these crimes were thefts from buildings with 15
percent and stolen bicycles with 10 percent.
Miscellaneous types of larceny-thefts, not falling
into any of the specific categories for which data
were collected, made up 18 percent of the total.
The remainder was distributed among pocket-
picking, purse-snatching, shoplifting, and thefts
from coin-operated machines. The accompanying
table presents the distribution of larceny-theft
by type within the geographic regions of the
United States.

Clearances
In 1976, 19 percent of all larceny-theft offenses
brought to police attention were solved. Involve-
ment of the young age group is demonstrated by
the fact that 33 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 35 percent and 22 percent, respectively^
Persorts Arrested
Fifty-two percent of the total arrests for Crime
Index offenses in 1976 were for larceny-theft.
Arrests for this crime decreased 4 percent, 1976
over 1975. Forty-three percent of these arrests
were of persons under 18 years of age, and when
individuals under 21 were considered, the ratio
rose to 60 percent. When examined by sex of
arrested persons, it was determined that females
comprised 31 percent of all arrests for larceny-
theft and that females had a higher involvement in
this offense than for any of the other Index offenses.
In fact, women were arrested more often for
larceny-theft than any other offense in 1976.
Arrests of females for larceny-theft violations
declined 2 percent in 1976; while arrests of males
decreased 5 percent when compared to 1975
figures. Arrests of whites outnumbered 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
1976 as compared with the 1972 figures indicates
a 54 percent increase. Arrests of individuals under
18 were 36 percent greater than 1972. The number
of adult arrests rose 70 percent over the number of
arrests for this offense in 1972.
Persons Charged
As in prior years, law enforcement agencies
national!}' charged more offenders for larceny-
theft than for any other Crime Index offense.
Seventy-three percent of the adults prosecuted
for larceny-theft were found guilty of this offense,
5 percent were found guilty of a lesser charge, and
the remaining had their cases dismissed or were
acquitted. Thirty-seven jiercent of persons pro-
cessed in 1976 for larceny-theft were referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction.

In 1976, 957,600 motor vehicles were reported
stolen to law enforcement. Geographicall3^ the
volume of motor vehicle thefts in 1976 was highest
in the Northeastern States which reported 33
percent of the total followed by the North Central
States with 24 percent. The Southern and the
Western States each reported 21 percent. This
crime made up 8 percent of all Crime Index
offenses. The volume of motor vehicle theft was
highest during the month of August.

Trend
The number of motor vehicle thefts decreased
4 percent from 1975 to 1976.
Motor vehicle thefts decreased 7 percent in
large cities with 250,000 or more inhabitants
during 1976. The rural areas reported an increase
of 3 jjercent in motor vehicle thefts while the
suburban areas had a decrease of 5 percent.
Geographically, motor vehicle thefts were up 1
percent in the Western States. The Southern States
reported a decrease of 1 1 percent, the North Cen-

Rate
The 1976 motor vehicle theft rate of 446 offenses
per 100,000 inhabitants is 5 percent lower than in
1975. Since 1972, the motor vehicle theft rate
32
has risen 5 percent. People in cities with over one
million population were deprived more often of
their motor vehicles in 1976 than in any other
population group with 1,181 thefts per 100,000
inhabitants.
Nationally, the motor vehicle theft rate in the
metropolitan areas was 554 per 100,000 in-
habitants. The cities outside metroplitan areas
had a motor vehicle theft rate of 206, and the
rural areas had a rate of 107.
Regionally, the Northeastern States had the
highest motor vehicle theft rate in 1976. This
rate was 646, a decrease of 1 percent from 1975.
The Western States had a rate of 532 per 100,000
inhabitants which was a decrease of 1 percent. The
North Central States had a rate of 402 which
was 7 percent lower than the prior year and the
vSouthern States reported a decrease of 12 percent
in the motor vehicle theft rate of 291 per 100,000
inhabitants.
Across the Nation in 1976, an estimated one of
every 139 registered motor vehicles was stolen.
Regionally, this rate was the highest in the
Northeastern States where 12 motor vehicles per
1,000 registered vehicles were stolen. In the other
three regions the figures were 8 in the Western
States, 6 in the North Central States, and 5 in
the Southern States.
Nature
Motor vehicle 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 1976, the
average value of stolen motor vehicles was $1,741
at the time of theft.
Of all motor vehicle thefts reported during
1976, 83 percent were automobiles. Eight percent
were trucks or buses and 9 percent were other
types of motor vehicles.

'Clearances
Law enforcement agencies were successful in
olving 14 percent of tlie motor vehicle thefts by
n(-.t of the offender.
Ill the Nation's largest cities, 11 percent of
iiotor vehicle thefts were cleared during 1976.
riiioughout the Nation, motor vehicle theft clear-
mc f i)ercentages ranged from 25 percent in the
M)uth Atlantic States to S percent in the New
Cnpland States.
In all geographic divisions and population
■.roups, the participation of the young-age group
)(i|nihition is indicated by the high proportion of
hc'^e clearances which were through the arrest of
jersons under 18 years of age. In the largest
;ities, 26 percent of the motor vehicle thefts
;leared were by arrests in this age group while
uveniles accounted for 32 percent of the solutions
n the suburbs and 28 percent in the rural areas.
"ersons Arres
ted
As in prior ^ears, persons arrested for motor
s^ehicle theft came primarily from the yoimg age
^roup segment of the population. In 1976, 53 per-
cent 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 motor vehicle theft arrests
disclosed a decrease of 7 percent in 1976 when
compared to 1975. AikUt arrests decreased 6 per-
cent while arrests of persons under 18 decreased
9 percent. During the jjcriod 1972-1976 motor
vehicle theft arrests increased 3 percent.
Females under 18 years of age recorded a
decrease of 1 percent in arrests for motor vehicle
theft from 1975. White persons made up 71 per-
cent of the arrests for motor vehicle theft, Negroes
26 percent, and all other races accounted for the
remainder.
Persons Charged
Police reports disclosed that of all persons for-
mally processed for motor vehicle theft in 1976, 64
])ercent were referred to juvenile court jurisdic-
tions. No other Crime Index offense results in
such a high percentage of juvenile court referrals.
When the remaining adult offenders were con-
sidered as a group, 53 percent of those prosecuted
on charges of motor vehicle theft were found guilty
as charged, 13 percent were convicted of lesser
offenses, and the remainder were either acquitted
or their cases were dismissed.

law enforcement agencies, an increase of less than
one percent over 1975. The violent crime category
made up 9 percent of the Crime Index total and
decreased 4 percent in volume from 1975. Murder
decreased 8 percent, forcible rape and aggravated
assault each increased 1 percent, and robbery
decreased 10 percent. The voluminous property
crimes as a group increased less than 1 percent.
Larceny-theft increased 5 percent while burglary
and motor vehicle theft decreased 5 and 4 percent,
respectively.
Since 1972, the Crime Index offenses as a group
have increased 37 percent. The violent crimes in-
creased 18 percent and the property crimes rose
39 percent in volume during this five-year period.
The increases during this time span ranged from
less than one percent for murder to 51 percent for
larceny-theft.
The estimated 1976 crime figures for the United
States are set forth in the table titled, "National
Crime, Rate, and Percent Change."
Crime rates relate the incidence of reported
crime to population. A crime rate is frequently
viewed as a victim risk rate. Crime rates used are
based on Crime Index offenses.
Many factors influence the nature and extent of
crime in a particular community. A number of
these factors are shown on page v of this publica-
tion. A crime rate takes into consideration only
the numerical factor of population and does not
incorporate any of the other elements which con-
tribute to the amount of crime in a given area.

Crime Index Tabulations
The following 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; standard
metropolitan statistical areas; and cities, towns,
and counties. The measure used is a Crime Index
consisting of seven important offenses which are
counted as thej^ become known to the law enforce-
ment agencies. Crime classifications used in the
Index are : murder and nonnegligent manslaughter,
forcible rape, robbeiy, aggravated assault, bur-
glary-breaking or entering, larceny-thef t , and
motor vehicle theft.
The total number of criminal acts that occur is
unknown, but those that are reported to law en-
forcement provide the first means of a count.
Not all crimes come readily to the attention of
law enforcement; not all crimes are of sufficient
importance to be significant in an index; and not
all important crimes occur with enough regularity
to be meaningful in an index. With these consid-
erations in mind, the above crimes were selected
as a group to furnish an abbreviated and con-
venient measure of the crime problem.
It is important to remember in reviewing the
tables that the volume of crime in any area is
subject to the factors set forth on page v. Esti-
mates of current permanent population are used
to construct crime rates. With our highl_y mobile
population all communities, metropolitan areas,
and states are affected to a greater or lesser degree
by the element of transient population. This factor
is not accounted for in crime rates since no reliable
estimates by state are available nationwide.
Crime trend and rate tables group [)laces ac-
cording to population size.
National averages are also shown indicating the
type and value of the projjerty stolen, by offense
and 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.
Statistical data relating to suburban areas are
provided for the use of law enforcement officials in
suburban communities in making limited com-
parisons. Places used to establish totals for sub-
urban areas include cities with less than 50,000
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 law enforcement administrator
with valuable guidance in analyzing the local
crime count, as well as the performance of his
force in combating crime. The analysis, however,
does not end with such a comparison, for it is only
through an appraisal of local conditions that a
clear picture of the community crime problem or
the effectiveness of the law enforcement operation
is possible.

' Violent crime is offenses of murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Property crime is offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle
theft.

SECTION III
CRIME INDEX OFFENSES CLEARED BY ARREST
Law enforcement agencies 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 subject
is being prosecuted elsewhere for a crime com-
mitted in another jurisdiction. The arrest of one
person can clear several crimes or several persons
may be arrested in the process of clearing one
crime.
The nationwide clearance information as re-
ported by law enforcement agencies shows that 21
percent of the Index crimes were cleared during
1976. In 1976 law enforcement agencies cleared
79 percent of the murder offenses, 52 percent of
forcible rapes, 63 percent of aggravated assaults,
and 27 percent of the robberies. Solutions in the
property crime categories showed police cleared
17 percent of the burglaries in 1976, 19 percent of
the larceny- thefts, and 14 percent of the motor
vehicle thefts. Police are able to clear a higher
percentage of the crimes against the person, not
only because of the more intense mvestigative
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 Western and
North Central States, each with 21 percent, and
the Northeastern States with 17 percent.
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 1976, 29 percent of all Crime Index offenses
solved involved only persons under 18 years of
age, while persons 10 to 17 years of age account
for about 15 percent of the total United States
population.

SECTION IV
Persons Arrested
Arrests are primarily a measure of police
activity. Arrest practices, policies, ami enforce-
ment 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 drunkenness, 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 mdicate involvement
in criminal acts by the age, sex, and race of the
perpetrators, particularly for those crimes which
have a high solution rate. Procedures used in
this Program require that an arrest be counted
on each separate occasion when a person is taken
into custody, notified, or cited. Annual arrest
figures do not measure the number of individuals
taken into custody since one person may be
arrested several times during the year for the
same or different offenses. As noted above, this
tends to happen frequently for certain types of
offenses against public order such as drunken-
ness, vagrancy, disorderly conduct, and related
violations.
In 1976, law enforcement agencies made an
estimated 9.6 million arrests nationally for all
criminal acts except traffic offenses. The arrest
rate was 45 arrests for each 1,000 persons of
our total estimated population for 1976. The
arrest rate for cities over 250,000 population was
61 per 1,000 inhabitants, for suburban areas 38,
and in the rural areas the arrest rate was 32.
Arrest Trends
In 1976, police arrests for all offenses except
traffic decreased 5 percent from 1975. During this
time, arrests of persons under 18 years of age de-
creased 6 percent and arrests of persons 18 years
of age and over decreased 4 percent. When only
Crime Index offenses are used to compute this
trend, there is a 7 percent decrease for all ages.
170
During the five-year period, 1972-1976, police
arrests for all offenses except traffic increased 22
percent, with the arrests of persons under 18 years
of age up 23 percent and the arrests of persons 18
years of age and over up 21 percent. When only
the Crime Index offenses are used in computing
the five-year trend, the increase is 44 percent.
Arrests of persons under 18 years of age increased
34 percent while the adult arrests increased 51
percent. Violent crime arrests for persons under 18
years of age increased 28 percent while the property
crime arrests increased 35 percent.
Arrests for Narcotic Drug Law violations, 1976
over 1975, decreased less than one percent na-
tionally. From 1972 to 1976, arrests for this
violation increased 39 percent. There is set forth a
tabulation by geographic region showing the type
of narcotic drug involved in the arrest of the
offender during 1976.

percent; under 21, 48 percent; and under 25, 63
percent. In the rural areas the distributions were
lower for the younger age groups, with the under
15 group being involved in 3 percent; under 18 in
15 percent; under 21 in 32 percent; and those
under 25 in 49 percent of total police arrests. When
only the Index crimes are considered, 16 percent of
all persons arrested in 1976 were under the age of
15 and 42 percent were under 18 years of age.
Sex
Male arrests outnumbered female arrests by 5 to
1 in 1976. Male arrests in 1976 decreased by 6 per-
cent while female arrests decreased 7 percent.
Twenty percent of the arrests for Crime Index
offenses were of female persons. Ten percent of the
arrests for violent crimes in 1976 involved females.
Arrests of females for these types of crimes de-
creased 1 percent from 1975. Again, as in prior
years, their involvement was primarily for larceny
which accounted for 23 percent of all female ar-
rests. Females accounted for 31 percent of the em-
bezzlement and 14 percent of the narcotics arrests.
Over one-half of the runaway — police custody
cases — were females under 18 years of age.
Arrests of both males and females under 18
years of age increased 25 and 16 percent respec-
tively from 1972 to 1976. When the serious crimes
as a group are considered, arrests of males under
18, 1972-1976, were up 34 percent and female
arrests increased 36 percent.

SECTION V
Persons Charsed
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 1976, 83 ])ercent of the adults arrested for
Crime Index offenses were prosecuted in the
courts. Of the adults prosecuted for Crime Index
offenses, 66 percent were found guilty as charged
and 7 percent of a lesser offense.
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 available to support either a
formal charge or a subsequent prosecution.
For example, four of ten juveniles arrested are
handled by the individual law enforcement agen-
cies without preferring a formal charge or referring
them directly to juvenile authorities. Tables con-
tainmg this data commence on the following page.
Keep in mind that police methods of handling
juvenile offenders differ widel.y 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 connection with
specific criminal acts.
Forty percent of the persons processed for Crime
Index offenses were young persons referred to
juvenile court jurisdiction. Similar to prior years,
juvenile referrals for motor vehicle theft were
significant. Sixty-four percent of those processed
for motor vehicle theft were juveniles. Juvenile
referrals for burglary were 54 percent, larceny-
theft 37 percent, robbery 31 percent, forcible rape
20 percent, aggravated assault 18 percent, and
murder 7 percent.
During 1976, as in past years, motor vehicle
theft, arson, burglary, and vandalism recorded
high percentages of juvenile referrals. When all
crime categories are reviewed, it is noted that
convictions on original charges remained high in
the offenses against public order and decency —
driving under the influence, drunkenness, dis-
orderly conduct, and vagrancy. As in prior years,
offenses against trust, such as fraud and embezzle-
ment, also recorded a high percentage of convictions
on original charges.
Of the adults who were prosecuted for Crime
Index offenses, 27 percent were acquitted or their
cases were dismissed. In 1976, 37 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
35 percent of the persons charged with aggravated
assault were released either through acquittal or
dismissal.
Seventj'-three percent of those persons prose-
cuted for the offense of larceny-theft were found
guilty of that offense in 1976. This was followed by
burglary with 59 percent found guilty of the
original charge, 56 percent for robbery, 48 percent
for murder, 53 percent for motor vehicle theft,
52 percent for aggravated assault, and 42 percent
for forcible rape.
The offense which had the highest percentage
guilty of a lesser offense was murder where 14
percent of the defendants were convicted on some
charge other than murder.

On October 31, 1976, 10,459 agencies represent-
ing over 198 million of tlie U.S. poi)ulation re-
ported a total of 41 <S, 000 full-time law enforcement
officers for a rate of 2.1 officers per 1,000 inhabit-
ants. When full-time civilians were included, the
total count of law enforcement emploj^ees was
516,000 for a national rate of 2.6 ])er 1,000
inhabitants.
Caution should be exercised in using rates for
comparative purj^oses since there is a wide varia-
tion in the responsibilities of various law enforce-
ment agencies throughout the country. Just as
the conditions wliicli affect the amount and type
of crime that occurs vary from place to [)lace, so
do the requirements for types of police service
based upon the conditions which exist in a given
community. For example, the increased need for
jjolice service in a communit.v which has a highly
mobile or seasonal population, differs from a
community which has a relatively stable or fixed
poi:)idation. In addition, a small community situ-
ated between two large cities may require a
greater number of law enforcement jjersonnel than
a similarly sized community having no urban
centers nearb^r. The crime conditions of the former
are for the most part dictated by its geogra]3hic
location.
It is pointed out that the figures set forth in
detailed police em])loyee tables represent national
averages. They sliould be used as a guide or in-
dicator 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 requirement for police
service in that community.
The functions of sheriffs also var}- \videly in
different sections of the country. In certain areas
the sheriffs' res]3onsibilities 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 law enforcement activity and
are responsible for all phases of policing in their
jurisdiction.
While the ratio of law enforcement personnel
to population nationally remains unchanged from
the previous year, it is significant to note that
many cities in the United States continue to
operate with substantially fewer law enforcement
employees per capita than the national average.
For example, cities in the ten to fifty-thousand
population range average 1.9 law enforcement
employees per 1,000 inhabitants, unchanged
from the year before. This low average rate for
smaller cities is oft'set by the fact that large
cities, those with over 250,000 inhabitants, were
substantially above the national average with a
rate of 3.4 law enforcement employees per 1,000
inhabitants.
Suburban areas averaged 2.2 full-time law
enforcement employees per 1,000 inhabitants.
Sheriffs' departments had an average rate of 1.9
full-time employees.
The West North Central and West South
Central Divisions of the country recorded the
fewest (2.1) law enforcement emploj'ees per
1,000 population while the Middle Atlantic and
South Atlantic states continued as the Nation's
leaders in the rate of law enforcement employees
to population. The Middle Atlantic states dropped
to 2.7 from their rate of 2.9 the year before while
the South Atlantic states also dropped during the
year a tenth of a point to 3.0 employees.
Sworn Personnel
Law enforcement employee rates based on sworn
personnel only (excluding civilian employees) show
that the average for all cities was 2.0 per 1,000
inhabitants in 1976. The city rates, nationally,
range from 0.1 to 7.7 per 1,000 inhabitants. In city
agencies, males represented 98 percent of all sworn
personnel, while males in suburban agencies con-
stituted 96 percent and in county sheriff and
police departments 92 percent. The average rate
of sworn employees in sheriffs' departments was
1.5 per 1,000 inhabitants and the rate range for
the 2,656 reporting county agencies was 0.1 to
10.8 per 1,000 inhabitants.

Table 74 shows the type of assignment of the
officer assaulted. Thirty-seven percent were in
two-officer vehicles, 43 percent were in one-officer
vehicles, 6 percent were on detective or special
assignment, and 13 percent were on other assign-
ments. Of all assaults on police, the vehicle patrol
officer was the victim in 80 percent of the cases.

Clearances of Assaults on Law Enforcement Officers
Nationwide in 1976, 92 percent of law enforce-
ment assaults were cleared by arrest. Cities over
250,000 and those from 50,000 to 100,000 had the
highest clearance percentage with nearly 94 per-
cent being cleared. Assaults ia disturbance matters
were cleared at the rate of 96 percent in the cities
over 250,000.
By activity, the highest clearance rate for all
agencies was the 93 percent recorded in assaults
on officers responding to disturbance calls and at-
tempting arrests other than for robbery or bur-
glary. Ambush attacks accounted for the lowest
clearance rate with 57 percent. Table 75 shows
the percentage of assaults cleared by type of activity
and population group.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED
In 1976, HI local, county, state, and Federal
law enforcement officers were killed due to feloni-
ous criminal action in the United States, Puerto
Rico, and abroad. During the ten-year period
1967-1976, 1,077 officers were killed. The number
of law enforcement officers killed in Puerto Rico
for the period 1971-1976 and the number of
Federal officers killed in the period 1972-1976
have been included in the tabulations with the
local, county, and state officers for the ten-year
period.

Geographic Locations
In 1976, 57 officers were slain in the Southern
States, 24 in the North Central vStates, 15 in the
Northeastern States, and 10 in the Western
States. The preceding chart shows the number of
law enforcement officers killed by region for each
of the two five-year periods, 1967-1971 and 1972-
1976. An accompanying table shows the officers
feloniously killed in 1976 by geographic division
and population grouping.
One hundred and six of the 111 officers slain
during 1976 were from 90 different local, county.
and state law enforcement agencies in 34 states
and the District of Columbia. Four officers were
killed in Puerto Rico and one Fecieral officer was
also killed.
Among the states, Texas ranked highest with
twelve officers killed. The State of Florida fol-
lowed with seven officers slain.
Circumstances Surrounding Deaths
There were more law enforcement officers killed
attempting arrests than in any other circumstance
in 1976. This trend was established in prior years
and continues as one of the most dangerous situa-
tions the police officer faces today. Twenty-five
officers were killed while attempting arrests for
crimes other than robbery or burglary. In connec-
tion with robbery offenses, 15 officers were slain
by persons encountered during the commission of
a robbery or during the pursuit of robbery sus-
pects. Nine officers were killed at the scene of
burglaries or while pursuing burglary suspects.
In 1976, 13 officers were killed in ambush situa-
tions. Five of these officers were victims of un-
provoked attacks which did not involve any
apparent element of entrapment. The other eight
officers were slain in premeditated attacks.
Twenty officers were slain in 1976 responding to
disturbance calls. Included in disturbance calls
are family quarrels, man with gun, bar fights, etc.
Eleven officers were killed while investigating
suspicious persons or circumstances, ten officers
were slain while making traffic stops, four were
killed while handling mentally deranged persons,
and four officers were killed while transporting or
otherwise engaged in custody of prisoners.

Types of Aisignment
Patrol duties within law enforcement organiza-
tions are the most hazardous type of assignment
for officers. The patrol officer is frequently in
contact with suspicious or dangerous individuals
during the course of these duties and each of these
situations constitutes a threat to the officer's per-
sonal safety. The patrol officer is readily identifi-
able because of his uniform and/or patrol vehicle.
He frequently must determine quickly and accu-
rately if a person is involved in a criminal act. If
the suspect constitutes a danger to the officer's
personal safety, he must afford himself reasonable
protection.
The patrol officer is placed in a variety of dan-
gerous situations and must react to circumstances
as they occur without the benefit of detailed infor-
mation or planning. He often risks attack through
frequent encounters with criminal offenders at or
near crime scenes.
These perils are substantiated by the fact that
officers assigned to patrol duty are the most
frequent targets of the police killer. Law enforce-
ment officers assigned in other capacities are con-
fronted with equally tense and dangerous types of
situations while performing their duties but not
with the same frequency.
Sixty-seven patrol officers were slain in 1976.
Sixty-six of these officers were assigned to patrol
vehicles and one was on foot patrol. Twenty-
seven officers were detectives or officers on special
assignments. In the highest tradition of the law
enforcement profession, 17 officers, while in an
off-duty status, were taking appropriate police
action relative to criminal matters when they were
slain. Six of the off-duty officers were killed by
persons they encountered during the commission
of a robbery or while in pursuit of robbery suspects.
During the period 1967-1976, 66 percent (714) of
the 1,077 officers slain were assigned to patrol
duties.
In 1976, .33 of the on-duty officers were alone
and unassisted when killed. During the period
1967-1976, 34 percent (368) of the oflScers were
alone and unassisted when they gave their lives
for the communities they were sworn to protect.
Weapons Used
Ninety-four, or 85 percent, of the law enforce-
ment officers killed in 1976 were slain with
tow Enforcement Officers Killed 1967-1976

deaths, rifles in 12, and shotguns were used to kOl
16 of the officers. Fifteen officers were slain with
their own firearms. The remaining 17 officers not
slain with firearms were killed through the use of
the following: five officers were slain with knives,
five with automobiles, four with bombs, two with
clubs, and one died in a fire.
Fifty-four of the officers killed in 1976 utilized
their service firearms while in contact with their
assailants. Thirty-one of these officers discharged
their service firearms while attempting to protect
themselves. Forty-eight percent (53) of the officers
killed by firearms were within five feet of their
assailants at the time thej' were shot.

other daj' or time. The data points out the fact
an officer must be constantly alert.

Table Methodolosy
This appendix is to assist the more-than-casual
reader in understanding the various tables pre-
sented regarding crime-related information. Each
table within this publication is constructed to
provide as much information as is available. By
utilizing the following key in conjunction with the
pages that follow, an individual interested in a
specific table, will gain a better understanding of
table construction.
Key: A) Column 1 indicates the table number.
This appendix will refer to Tables 1
through 57, "Crime in the United
States— 1976."
B) Column 2 indicates the type of crime
statistics presented. Four distinct types
of crime-related data are submitted to
UCR by law enforcement agencies:
1. offense (o)
2. clearance (c)
3. arrest (a)
4. disposition (d)
C) Column 3 indicates the reporting period
for the data. Depending on data
collected, submission of data is either
by monthly (M) or annual (A) reports.
D) Column 4 indicates level of submission
necessary for an agency's statistics to be
included in table aggregations. Data
tables result from the submissions of
three levels of agency participation.
1) Agencies having reported data
for all twelve months of the
year.
2) Agencies reporting for less
than twelve months of the
year.
3) Non-reporting agencies.
This column indicates that the statistics
from each agency level are, or are not,
included in the table(s). For example,
Table 1 includes data from all three
agenc_v reporting levels, but Table 14
presents only the data from agencies
reporting for the entire year.
E) Column 5 indicates individual table
construction. Data adjustments, if any,
are discussed along with various defini-
tions of data aggregation.
F) Column 6 indicates general comments
regarding potential use and misuse of
the statistics presented.
G) Column 7 indicates the percent of total
United States population represented
in each table or family of tables. The
number of contributing agencies also
varj^ among tables. Therefore, the
percentage of potentially useable agen-
cies is presented. For example, Table 1
represents national level statistics for
all agencies serving 215 million popula-
tion, while Table 56 statistics are
compiled from a more limited group of
agencies representing 34 million
population.

OFFenses in Uniform Crime Reporting
Offenses in Uniform Crime Reporting are di-
vided into two groupings designated as Part I

Appendix III
Uniform Crime Reporting Population Definitions
In this publication, data are generally presented
in population groupings established by the Bureau
of the Census. Eight major population groups are
shown below:
Political label
Population coverage
I City Over 250,000.
11 City 100,000 to 250,000.
in City 50,000 to 100,000.
IV City 25,000 to 50,000.
V _. City 10,000 to 25,000.
VI .._ City Le^s than 10,000.
VIII Rural county
IX Suburban county
The major source of Uniform Crime Reporting
(UCR) data is the individual police agency;
therefore, some population and geographical ag-
gregations may differ from standard Census defini-
tions to render them consistent to police reporting
areas and jurisdictions. UCR employs standard
city and Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA) classifications from the Bureau of the
Census, but rural and suburban areas are slightly
changed to match the reporting area of the local
police.
Rural Areas, Other Cities, and SMSA Area
represents a structure of presentation often used
in this publication. These three areas are mutually
exclusive and exhaustive.
The Rural Area is that portion of a countj^
outside the SMSA and excluding areas covered
by city police agencies.
Other Cities are urban places outside the SMSA,
most are incorporated.
The SMSA Area represents all agencies within
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Suburban Area refers to cities with less than
50,000 inhabitants plus counties within an SMSA
(excluding the central city).
The number of full-service law enforcement
agencies serving the population groups will
slightly vary from year to year. This phenomena
is caused through geo-political consolidation,
municipal incorporation, etc. The following list
shows the number of agencies within each popula-
tion group.
