CRIME FACTORS
The presence of crime in our Nation's communities is a serious concern
not only of the law enforcement profession, but to society at large.
Historically, the causes and origins of crime have been the subjects of
investigation by many disciplines. However, no definitive conclusions have
yet been reached. Instead, a number of factors affecting the volume and type
of crime that occurs from place to place have been delineated. Some of these
are as follows:
Density and size of community population and its surrounding area.
Variations in composition of the population, particularly age
structure.
Stability of population with respect to transient factors.
Economic conditions, including job availability.
Cultural conditions, such as educational, recreational, and religious
characteristics.
Climate.
Effective strength of law enforcement agencies.
Administrative and investigative emphases of law enforcement.
Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e.,
prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and probational).
Attitudes of citizenry toward crime.
Crime reporting practices of citizenry.
The Uniform Crime Reports give a nationwide view of crime based on
police statistics contributed by state and local law enforcement agencies.
Population size is the only correlate of crime utilized in this publication.
While the other factors listed above are of equal concern, no attempt is made
to relate them to the data presented. The reader is, therefore, cautioned
against comparing statistical data of individual communities solely on the
basis of their population size.

FOREWORD
Fifty years ago, the International Association of Chiefs of PoHce (lACP)
initiated the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, which was designed
to measure criminal activity throughout the United States. The task was
formidable. It was not possible to compile national statistics merely by
cumulating state statistics. Each state had a different criminal code, and
crimes with similar elements were often given different labels.
The lACP overcame that obstacle by putting aside the states'
nomenclature and by establishing instead uniform definitions for various
crimes. For example, an "unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or
theft" was treated as a burglary even if it occurred in a state where the use of
force and entry at night were also elements of burglary. This use of uniform
definitions enabled the UCR Program to measure criminal activity
nationwide.
The lACP developed the UCR Program, but the complexity of
nationwide data gathering and the importance of the UCR's findings to the
Federal Government and the Nation as a whole militated in favor of greater
Federal involvement. Accordingly, in 1930, Congress directed the Federal
Bureau of Investigation to administer the UCR Program.
Although many technical improvements have been made during the last
50 years, the basic concept of the UCR Program — collection of data on
criminal activity throughout the country — remains the same. The use of UCR
data, however, has greatly expanded. UCR was designed to be a management
tool for law enforcement executives. However, now — because of the growing
recognition that the measure of criminal activity is relevant to a wide variety
of fields — legislators, academicians, and other students of the crime problem
have come to rely on the Uniform Crime Reporis.
The FBI is proud to have the opportunity to serve the American public
as administrator of the UCR Program. We do not relish exposing the darker
side of society's behavior, but a better understanding of our crime problem —
which the UCR Program facilitates — may enable us to be more effective in
our battle against crime.

SECTION I
SUMMARY OF THE UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING
PROGRAM
Through the voluntary contribution of crime statistics
by over 15,000 law enforcement agencies across the
United States, the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
Program provides periodic assessments of crime in the
Nation as measured by offenses coming to the attention of
the law enforcement community. To generate a reliable
set of criminal statistics for use in law enforcement
administration, operation, and management is the Pro-
gram's primary goal. However, data emanating from the
Program are widely utilized by other criminal justice
professionals, legislators, and scholars who have an
interest in the crime problem. Additionally, the statistics
have historically furnished the general public an indica-
tion of fluctuations in the level of crime in our society.
Historical Background
The Committee on Uniform Crime Records of the
International Association of Chiefs of Police (lACP)
initiated this voluntary national data collection effort in
1930. That same year, the Congress of the United States
appointed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as
the national clearinghouse for statistical information on
crime. Since that time, data based on uniform classifica-
tions and procedures of reporting have been obtained
from the Nation's law enforcement agencies.
In an effort to provide 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 on
offenses that come to the attention of law enforcement
agencies, since these data were more readily available
than any other reportable crime information. Seven
offenses, because of their seriousness, frequency of occur-
rence, and likelihood of being reported to police, were
initially selected to serve as an Index for evaluating
fluctuations in the volume of crime. These crimes, known
as the Crime Index offenses, were murder and nonnegli-
gent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated
assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
By congressional mandate, arson was added as the eighth
Index offense in late 1978.
To provide nationwide uniformity in the reporting of
data, standardized definitions were adopted for all of-
fenses. Such standardization was necessary to overcome
the variations in definitions of criminal offenses in differ-
ent sections of the country. Without regard for local
statutes, reporting agencies are required to submit their
data in accordance with the UCR definitions of offenses as
set forth in Appendix II of this publication. Because of
variances in punishment for the same offenses in different
state codes, there is no possibility in a program such as this
to distinguish between felony and misdemeanor crimes.
The Committee on Uniform Crime Records, lACP,
continues to serve in an advisory capacity to the FBI
concerning the operation of the UCR Program. In this
connection, the lACP, through surveys of law enforce-
ment records and crime reporting systems, plays an active
and effective part. The National Sheriffs' Association
(NSA) in June, 1966, established a Committee on Uniform
Crime Reporting to serve in an advisory role to the NSA
membership and the national UCR Program. This Com-
mittee actively encourages sheriffs throughout the coun-
try to fully participate in the Program.
Also active in promoting interest in the UCR Program
are committees on Uniform Crime Reporting within state
law enforcement associations. These committees foster
widespread and more intelligent use of uniform crime
statistics and lend assistance to contributors when the
need exists.
Methods of Data Collection
UCR Program contributors compile and submit their
crime data in one of two means: either directly to the FBI
or through their state UCR Programs. Those which
submit directly to the FBI are provided, on an individual
basis, continuing guidance and support from the national
Program.
Presently, there are 47 operational state-level UCR
Programs which have been very effective in the attain-
ment of increased coverage of law enforcement agencies
due to state mandatory reporting requirements. These
agencies are also able to provide more direct and frequent
service to participating law enforcement agencies and to
make information more readily available for use at the
state level. These state-level agencies have resulted in
vastly more efficient operations at the national level.
With the development of a state UCR Program, the
FBI ceases collection of data directly from individual law
enforcement agencies within the state. Instead, completed
information from these agencies is forwarded to the
national Program through the state data collection agen-
cy.
The conditions under which these systems are devel-
oped ensure consistency and comparability in the data
submitted to the national Program, as well as provide for
regular and timely reporting of national crime data. These
conditions are: (1) The state Program must conform to the
national Uniform Crime Reports' standards, definitions,
and information required. These requirements, 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' publication dead-
lines.
To fulfill its responsibilities in connection with the UCR
Program efforts, the FBI continues its internal procedures
of editing and reviewing individual agency reports for
both completeness and quality; has direct contact with
individual contributors within the state when necessary in
connection with crime reporting matters, coordinating
such contact with the state agency; and upon request,
conducts training programs within the state on law
enforcement records and crime reporting procedures.
These training sessions are, of course, coordinated with
the state agency. Should circumstances develop whereby
the state agency does not comply with the aforementioned
requirements, the national Program may reinstitute a
direct collection of Uniform Crime Reports from law
enforcement agencies within the state.
Reporting Procedures
Each month, law enforcement agencies report the
number of Crime Index offenses (murder and nonnegli-
gent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated
assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and
arson) that become known to them. A count of these
crimes, which are also known as Part I offenses, is taken
from records of all reports of crime received by law
enforcement agencies from victims, officers who discov-
ered the infractions, or other sources.
Whenever complaints of crime are determined through
investigation to be unfounded or false, they are eliminated
from an agency's count. The number of "actual offenses
known" in Part I is reported to the FBI whether anyone is
arrested for the crime, the stolen property is recovered, or
prosecution is undertaken. Additionally, each month law
enforcement agencies report the total number of actual
offenses cleared. Crimes are "cleared" in one of two ways:
(1) at least one person is arrested, charged, and turned
over to the court for prosecution; or (2) by exceptional
means when some element beyond police control pre-
cludes the physical arrest of an offender. Other monthly
submissions on the Part I crimes include the number of
clearances which involved only offenders under the age
of 18; the value of property stolen and recovered in
connection with Part I offenses; and detailed information
pertaining to criminal homicide.
The age, sex, and race of persons arrested are reported
monthly for both Part I and Part II offenses by crime
category. Part II offenses, while excluding traffic viola-
tions, include all other crimes except those classified as
Part I.
Various data on law enforcement officers assaulted or
killed are collected on a monthly basis. Other law
enforcement employee data, specifically the number of
full-time sworn officers and other personnel, are reported
as of October 31 of each calendar year.
Editing Procedures
Since data reliability is a matter of high priority to the
UCR Program, each incoming report is reviewed not only
for arithmetical accuracy but for deviations which may
indicate reporting errors. The experiences of similar
agencies or the crime levels established by the reporting
agency's previous submissions are periodically compared
with each agency's reports in an attempt to ascertain any
unusual fluctuations in the crime counts.
Variations in reported crime levels and ratios may
indicate possible incompleteness in reporting or changes
in reporting procedures. Necessary arithmetical adjust-
ments or noted deviations are brought to the attention of
the submitting agency through correspondence. Not only
are individual reports studied, but periodic trends for
individual reporting units are prepared and evaluated. As
a standard procedure, crime levels 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 contributing agency, either directly
or through its state Program. The communications con-
taining these inquiries specifically direct 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 if necessary,
totals are excluded from the trend tabulations.
In addition to its internal data verification practices, the
UCR Program endeavors to maintain statistical validity
by providing training seminars and instructional materials
in UCR procedures. Throughout the country, the FBI
conducts UCR seminars and workshops for law enforce-
ment personnel, during which national and state UCR
Program personnel enlist the cooperation of new contrib-
utors and explain the purpose of the Program and the
methods of assembling information for reporting. When
an individual agency has specific problems in compiling
its crime statistics and remedial efforts are unsuccessful,
FBI Headquarters' personnel may visit the contributor to
aid in resolving the difficulties.
As a further aid, all contributing agencies are supplied
with the Uniform Crime Reporting Handbook which
details procedures for classifying and scoring offenses.
Also, since a good records system is essential for accurate
crime reporting, the FBI makes available the Manual of
Law Enforcement Records which can serve as a guide in
the establishment of a sound law enforcement records
system.
To enhance communication among Program partici-
pants, the UCR "Newsletter" and State UCR Program
Bulletins are utilized to explain revisions in the Program,
as well as present information and instructional material.
Newsletters are produced periodically as needs arise.
The final responsibility for data submissions rests with
the individual contributing law enforcement agency.
Although the Program makes every effort through its
editing procedures, training practices, and correspon-
dence to assure the validity of the data it receives, the
statistics' accuracy depends primarily on the adherence of
each contributor to the established standards of reporting.
Deviations from these established standards which cannot
be resolved by the national UCR Program may be
brought to the attention of the Committee on Uniform
Crime Records of the lACP or Committee on Uniform
Crime Reporting of the NSA.
Reporting Area
One method of analyzing the statistics submitted to the
UCR Program is the presentation of data by reporting
areas. Geographically, the United States is divisible by
regions and divisions. Further breakdowns by city size
rely on population figures and proximity to metropolitan
areas.
A Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA),
generally, is made up of a core city or cities with a
combined population of 50,000 or more and the surround-
ing county or counties which share certain metropolitan
characteristics. "Other cities," most of which are incorpo-
rated, are those outside SMSAs. For crime reporting
purposes, rural areas are made up of the unincorporated
portions of counties outside urban places and SMSAs. As
a general rule, sheriffs, county police, and many state
police report crimes committed within the limits of the
counties but outside cities, while local police report
crimes committed within the city limits (urban places).
Certain tables within this publication present statistics
relative to "suburban" areas. A suburban area consists of
cities with less than 50,000 inhabitants together with
counties which are within an SMSA. In this context, the
major core city is, of course, excluded. The concept of
suburban area is especially important in a study of this
nature because of the particular crime conditions which
exist in the communities surrounding the Nation's largest
cities.
During 1979, the law enforcement agencies active in
the UCR Program represented 99 percent of the United
States population living in the SMSAs, 96 percent of the
population in other cities, and 94 percent of the rural
population. When considering the national population, as
estimated by the Bureau of the Census, the combined
coverage accounted for 98 percent of the total.
Most United States law enforcement agencies submit
crime reports to the UCR Program. However, each
tabular presentation in this publication shows the extent of
population coverage represented by the data included.
More detailed information concerning the geographical
entities used in this publication can be found in Appendix
III.
Population Data
To compute crime rates for the Nation, states, SMSAs,
and geographic divisions and regions, population esti-
mates by the Bureau of the Census as of July 1, 1979, were
used. Population estimates for individual cities and coun-
ties were prepared using Bureau of the Census figures for
1977 and 1978, which were then updated by the UCR
Program's staff. The estimated United States population
increase in 1979 was 1 percent over 1978.
Offense Estimation
Tables 1 through 5 of this publication represent total
crime in the United States. Because some law enforcement
agencies submit fewer than the solicited 12 months of
offense reports during a given year, crime counts for use
in the above-mentioned tables are estimated for these
agencies. Offense estimation occurs within each of three
areas: Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, other
cities, and rural areas. Assuming that nonreporting areas
have the same proportionate crime experience as those
which did provide data, estimates are based on the
reported crime experience of similar areas within a state.
Crime Trends
A further means of studying crime throughout the
Nation is to examine trends. Percent change tabulations
presented in this publication are homogeneous to the
extent that only figures for reporting units which have
provided comparable data for the periods under consider-
ation are included. Exclusions from trend computations
are made when figures from a reporting unit are not
received for comparable months or when it is ascertained
that unusual fluctuations are due to such variables as
improved records procedures.
The current year's reporting is the most complete in
terms of volume. Valid 2-year trends in Uniform Crime
Reports may be used to cumulatively establish long-term
trends. In addition, these year-to-year trends can be
applied as the basis for reestimating the volume of crime
and in reconstructing crime trends for prior years.
The most reliable reports available for the current year
are found in the crime rate tables by state and Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area. Care should be exercised in
any direct data comparisons with statistics in prior issues
of Crime in the United States. Changes in the crime level
may have been due in part to improved reporting or
records procedures, redefinition of reporting areas, or
other variables.
Recent Developments
During the course of the 1979 crime reporting year, an
arson data collection form was designed and implemented
in compliance with the congressional mandate that arson
be classified as a Part I, Crime Index offense. Although
initial participation in the submission has been encourag-
ing, much of the 1979 data is incomplete and thus
unpublishable.
Every effort is being made to increase participation, as
well as accuracy, in the reporting of arson offenses,
arrests, and other related information. The overall goal is
to achieve a level of data credibility equivalent to the
other seven Index crimes. Once that level of confidence in
the data is attained, arson information will be completely
integrated into all aspects of the UCR analysis and
publication efforts. In the interim, limited arson statistics
are being published whenever completeness and reliability
permit.
Beginning with the 1980 data collection, limited ethnici-
ty information is being solicited regarding persons arrest-
ed and the victims and offenders in murder offenses. The
change in reporting was made in accordance with stan-
dard classifications established by the Office of Manage-
ment and Budget for all Federal administrative reporting
and statistical activities. In addition to the ethnic designa-
tions of Hispanic and not Hispanic, revised race designa-
tions encompassing White, Black, American Indian or
Alaskan Native, and Asian or Pacific Islander are being
implemented.
In an attempt to achieve optimal utilization of its data,
the UCR Program launched an analytical crime research
effort in 1979. As an initial step, historical UCR crime and
arrest data were used to conduct a series of analyses aimed
at identifying long-term crime and arrest patterns. Appen-
dix IV of this publication is a result of that endeavor. In
the coming years, the UCR Program plans to continue
expanding its analytical capabilities and to perform analy-
ses in a number of substantive areas.

The crime clock should be viewed with care. Being the most aggregate representation of UCR data, it is designed to
convey the annual reported crime experience byshowingthe relative frequency of occurrence of the Index Offenses.
This mode of display should not be taken to imply a regularity in the commission of the Part I Offenses; rather, it
represents the annual ratio of crime to fixed time intervals.
SECTION II
CRIME INDEX OFFENSES REPORTED
MURDER AND NONNEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER
DEnNITION
Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, as defined in the Uniform Crime
Reporting Program, is the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one human being by
another.
The classification of this offense, as in all 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. Not included in the count for this
offense classification are deaths caused by negligence, suicide, or accident;
justifiable homicides, which are the killings of felons by law enforcement officers in
the line of duty or by private citizens; and attempts to murder or assaults to murder,
which are scored as aggravated assaults.

Volume
In the United States during 1979, there were an
estimated 21,456 murders representing approximately 2
percent of the total violent crimes.
A geographic breakdown of murder by region revealed
that 42 percent of the murders occurred in the Southern
States, which account for the largest regional population.
Twenty-one percent were reported by the North Central
States; 20 percent by the Western States; and 17 percent
by the Northeastern States.
December had a higher frequency of murder offenses in
1979 than any other month of the year.
MURDER BY MONTH
FEB. MAR. APR. MAY lUNE JULY AUG. SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC.
Trend
Nationally, the number of murders increased 10 percent
from 1978 to 1979, and all four geographic regions
registered upswings. The Southern States reported a rise
of II percent; the Northeastern and Western States,
increases of 10 percent each; and the North Central States,
a 7 percent upturn.
Also experiencing increases in the number of murders in
1979, the suburban areas and large core cities of 250,000
or more people recorded 7 and 14 percent upswings,
respectively. In the rural areas, the volume of murders
was down 2 percent.
The following chart reveals an increase of 5 percent
from 1975 to 1979 in the murder counts.
Rate
In 1979, there was an average of 10 murder victims for
every 100,000 inhabitants in the Nation.
The number of murder victims in relation to population
was highest in the Southern States with 13 murders per
100,000 inhabitants, a 9-percent rate increase over the
previous year. The Western States' rate was 10 per
100,000, a 7-percent rise over the 1978 rate. Both the
North Central and Northeastern States experienced rates
of 8 per 100,000 population; however, the Northeast's rate
represented a 10-percent increase, and the North Central
Region's rate a rise of 7 percent.
Collectively, the SMSAs reported a murder rate of 1 1
victims per 100,000 inhabitants; the rural areas recorded a
rate of 7 per 100,000 inhabitants; and cities outside
metropolitan areas (Other Cities) reported a murder rate
of 6 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Nature
To allow for a more detailed analysis of murder, the
Uniform Crime Reporting Program collects supplemental
information on this offense. Data are collected monthly on
the age, sex, and race of murder victims and offenders; the
types of weapons used in murders; the circumstances
surrounding the offenses; and the relationships between
victims and offenders.
As in recent years, murder victims were male in
approximately 3 of every 4 instances in 1979. On the
average, 54 of every 100 victims were White, 43 were
Black, and the remainder were of other races.
During 1979, 16,955 offenders were identified in con-
nection with the murders of 15,040 victims. Most of the
victims (14,024) were slain in single victim situations. Of
these, 12,429 were killed by single offenders and the
remainder by more than one offender. Concerning homi-
cides involving multiple victims, 815 persons were killed
by 357 offenders in incidents involving one assailant and
multiple victims, and 201 victims were slain by 207
offenders in multiple victim/multiple offender situations.
In 1979, firearms predominated as the weapons most
often used in the commission of murders throughout the
Nation. The accompanying chart illustrates the break-
down of murder offenses in the United States by type of
weapon used. In both the North Central and Southern
Regions, firearms were used in 65 percent of the murders;
in the Western States, they were employed in 58 percent;
and in the Northeastern States, they were used in 53
percent. Nationwide, 63 percent of the murders were
committed through the use of firearms. Handguns were
the weapons used in 50 percent of all murders.
A comparative study for the past 5 years showed a
decrease in the use of firearms to commit murder. In 1975,
firearms were used in 66 percent of all murders, while 63
percent of all murders in 1979 were perpetrated with these
weapons. An analysis of weapons used to commit murder
for 1975 through 1979 is shown in tabular form.

Of weapons other than firearms employed in murder
offenses reported in 1979, cutting or stabbing instruments
were used in 19 percent. The most widespread use of such
weapons occurred in the Northeastern States, where 25
percent of the murders were committed with a knife or
cutting instrument. In the Western States these types of
weapons were employed in 22 percent of the murders,
while the Southern and North Central States had the least
incidence of use of such weapons, 19 and 16 percent,
respectively. Nationwide, other weapons such as blunt
objects, poisons, explosives, etc., were used in 12 percent
of the murders. In the remaining 6 percent, personal
weapons, such as hands, fists, and feet, were used.

That murder is largely a societal problem beyond the
control of the law enforcement community is emphasized
by the relationship of the murder victim to the offender.
Fifty-two percent of the murder victims in 1979 were
acquainted with their assailants, and 1 of every 5 victims
was related to the offender.
The greatest percentage of murders in 1979 (43 percent)
resulted from arguments. Seventeen percent occurred as a
result of felonious activity, and 5 percent were suspected
to be the result of some felonious act.

Clearances
The clearance rate for murder in 1979 was higher than
for any other Crime Index offense. City and suburban law
enforcement agencies were successful in clearing 73
percent of the murders during the year, while those in
rural areas cleared 83 percent. In 1979, persons under 18
years of age accounted for 5 percent of the willful killings
cleared by law enforcement in cities and rural areas; 7
percent of those cleared in suburban areas involved only
persons in that age group.
Persons Arrested
Arrests of youthful offenders under 1 8 years of age for
murder decreased 12 percent during the period 1975-
1979, and adult arrests for that offense fell 9 percent in the
same period. In 1979, 44 percent of all persons arrested for
murder were under age 25, and 9 percent were under 18.
The 18- to 22-year age group, accounting for 25 percent
of the total 1979 murder arrests, showed the heaviest
involvement in this offense. Whites made up 49 percent of
the total arrestees for murder in 1979, Blacks comprised
48 percent, and the remaining 3 percent were of other
races.

FORCIBLE RAPE
_ DEFINITION _
Forcible rape, as defined in the Program, is the carnal knowledge of a female
forcibly and against her will. Assaults or attempts to commit rape by force or threat
of force are also included; however, statutory rape (without force) and other sex
offenses are not included in this category.

Volume
During 1979, there was an estimated total of 75,989
forcible rapes. Forcible rape continued, as in prior years,
to comprise less than 1 percent of the Crime Index total
and accounted for 6 percent of the volume of violent
crimes. Geographically, the Southern States, the region
with the largest population, recorded 34 percent of the
forcible rape volume; the Western States, 27 percent; the
North Central States, 23 percent; and the Northeastern
States, the remainder.
The accompanying chart indicates that more rapes
occur in the summer months than at any other time of the
year.
FEB. MAR. APR. MAY lUNE JULY AUG. SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC.
Trend
The number of forcible rape offenses in 1979 was up 13
percent over 1978 and 35 percent over 1975. During 1979,
39 percent of the forcible rapes occurred in cities with
250,000 or more inhabitants, where an 1 1 -percent increase
in volume was recorded. In the suburban areas, forcible
rape offenses rose 12 percent, and the rural areas regis-
tered a 4-percent increase over 1978. All regions indicated
upsurges in the volume of forcible rape offenses with
increases of 16 percent in the North Central States; 14
percent in the Southern States; 12 percent in the Nor-
theastern States; and 11 percent in the Western States.
Rate
By Uniform Crime Reporting definition, the victims of
forcible rape are always female. In 1979, an estimated 67
out of every 100,000 females in the country were reported
rape victims, a 12-percent rate increase over 1978. Since
1975, the forcible rape rate has risen 31 percent.
The SMSAs experienced a rate of 80 victims per
100,000 females. Cities outside metropolitan areas (Other
Cities) indicated a rate of 36 per 100,000 females, and the
rural areas followed with 30 per 100,000 females. Geo-
graphically, the Western States reported females as rape
victims at the rate of 96 per 100,000. In the Southern
States, this female forcible rape rate was 71; in the North
Central States, 57; and in the Northeastern States, 50.
Nature
Of all reported offenses in this category during 1979, 76
percent were rapes by force. Attempts or assaults to
commit forcible rape comprised the remainder. Forcible
rape, a violent crime against the person, has been
recognized by law enforcement as one of the most
underreported of all Index crimes, primarily because of
victims' fear of their assailants and their embarrassment
over the incidents.
Clearances
Both the cities and the suburban areas reported 48
percent of known forcible rapes were cleared by arrest or
exceptional means in 1979. The rural areas recorded a 65-
percent clearance rate. Of the total clearances for forcible
rape, suburban areas had 1 1 percent involving only
persons under the age of 18, while the cities and rural
areas each reported 9 percent involving that age group
alone.
Persons Arrested
Total 1979 arrests for forcible rape increased 9 percent
from 1978 figures and 14 percent from those for 1975.
Arrests of persons under 1 8 years of age for this offense
increased 5 percent from 1975, while adult arrests climbed
16 percent for the same time period.
Fifty-seven percent of the forcible rape arrests in 1979
were of males under the age of 25, with 30 percent of the
arrestees in the 1 8- to 22-year age group. Fifty percent of
the persons arrested for forcible rape in 1979 were White,
48 percent Black, and all other races comprised the
remainder.

In 1979, the estimated robbery total for the United
States was 466,881, amounting to 4 percent of the total
Crime Index and 40 percent of the crimes of violence.
During the year, robberies occurred most frequently
during the month of December.
The Northeastern States experienced the highest pro-
portion of robberies, 32 percent of the total. The Southern
States followed with 27 percent; the Western States
reported 22 percent; and the North Central States ac-
counted for the remainder.
ROBBERY BY MONTH

Trend
The 1979 robbery volume increased 12 percent from
the previous year but rose less than 1 percent from the
1975 experience.
Both cities over 250,000 in population and the suburban
areas reported 12-percent rises in robbery offenses in 1979
when compared with their 1978 volumes. An increase was
also recorded by the rural areas, 6 percent.
Geographically, all four regions experienced an up-
surge in robbery from 1978 to 1979. In the Southern States
the increase was 17 percent; in the Northeastern States, 14
percent; in the Western States, 10 percent; and in the
North Central States, 4 percent.
The accompanying chart depicts the trend in the
volume of robbery, as well as the robbery rate, for the
years 1975-1979.
Rate
The 1979 rate of 212 robberies per 100,000 inhabitants
was 11 percent above the 1978 rate. Robbery is primarily
a large-city crime with 7 out of 10 occurring in those cities
with populations of 100,000 or more. The robbery rate for
these cities was 561 per 100,000 people in 1979.
There were 276 robberies per 100,000 inhabitants in the
SMS As during 1979. The cities outside metropolitan areas
(Other Cities) experienced a rate of 58 robbery offenses
per 100,000 population, and in the rural areas, the robbery
rate was 22 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Regionally, robbery occurred most frequently in the
Northeastern States where the rate was 304 per 100,000
inhabitants. The rate per 100,000 inhabitants for the
Western States was 245; for the Southern States, 174; and
for the North Central States, 159.
Nature
During 1979, the average value loss per robbery was
$532, for a total reported loss of $248 million. The impact
of this violent crime on the victim cannot be measured in
terms of monetary loss alone. While the object of a
robbery is money or property, many victims of this crime
suffer serious personal injury.
Nationally, nearly half of the reported robberies com-
mitted in 1979 were perpetrated on the streets or high-
ways; the average loss for this type of robbery was $355.
Among the various categories, bank robbery, which
comprised less than 2 percent of all robberies, registered
the highest average loss, $3,613 per incident.
Bank robberies climbed 51 percent from 1975-1979;
increases were also reported for two other types of
robberies — convenience store holdups rose 15 percent and
street robberies were up 5 percent. In the same 5-year
period, gas or service station holdups fell 17 percent,
robberies of commercial or business establishments other
than those listed above declined 8 percent, and residential
robberies dropped 7 percent.
In 1979, 40 percent of all reported robberies were
committed through the use of firearms; 38 percent by
strong-arm tactics (hands, fists, feet, etc.); 13 percent by
the use of knives or cutting instruments; and 9 percent
through the use of other weapons.

Clearances
Rural law enforcement agencies were successful in
clearing 43 percent of the robbery offenses reported for
1979, while the suburban areas cleared 28 percent and the
cities 25 percent. Of the robbery clearances reported, 20
percent in the suburban areas, 16 percent in the cities, and
12 percent in the rural areas involved only persons under
18 years of age.
Persons Arrested
Nationally, arrests for robbery rose 3 percent in 1979
when compared to 1978. Increases in the volume of
arrests for these offenses were experienced in the subur-
ban areas with a 7-percent upswing; in the rural areas with
a 4-percent rise; and in the cities with a 2-percent upturn.
Data on arrests disclosed that 74 percent of the persons
arrested for robbery were under 25 years of age, 55
percent were under 21, and 31 percent were under 18
years of age.
An average of 7 out of every 100 persons arrested for
robbery during 1979 were female. Arrests of women for
this offense increased 6 percent when compared to 1978.
From the standpoint of race, 57 percent of those
arrested were Black, 41 percent were White, and 2
percent were of other races.

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

Volume
An estimated 614,213 aggravated assaults, comprising 5
percent of the total Crime Index and 52 percent of the
crimes of violence, occurred in the Nation during 1979.
Regionally, the Southern States, the most populous
region, reported 36 percent of the total count of these
crimes. The Western States followed with 24 percent,
while the Northeastern States and North Central States
each accounted for 20 percent. As has been the experience
in previous years, the highest frequency of aggravated
assaults was in the summer months of 1979.

Trend
In 1979, aggravated assaults increased 10 percent in
volume as compared to 1978 and 27 percent over the 1975
experience. Cities with 250,000 or more population re-
corded a 9-percent upswing over the previous year, and
the rural and suburban areas each reported 8-percent
increases for the same period.
Rises were reported in the volume of aggravated
assaults for each geographic region during the year. The
increases were 13 percent in the Western States, 11
percent in the North Central States, 9 percent in the
Southern States, and 8 percent in the Northeastern States.
Rate
During 1979 an average of 279 victims of aggravated
assault were reported per 100,000 United States' inhabi-
tants. In SMSAs, the aggravated assault rate was 312 per
100,000 inhabitants; in cities outside metropolitan areas
(Other Cities), it was 248 per 100,000 inhabitants; and in
rural areas, it was 143 per 100,000 inhabitants. Nation-
wide, the rate for aggravated assault increased 9 percent
over 1978 and 23 percent over 1975.
Of the four geographic regions, the Western States had
the highest rate, 356 per 100,000, and the Southern States
followed with 306. The Northeastern States' aggravated
assault rate was 252, and in the North Central States, it
was 214.
Nature
In 1979, 23 percent of the aggravated assaults were
committed through the use of firearms; knives or other
cutting instruments were used in 22 percent; 28 percent
were committed with blunt objects or other dangerous
weapons; and the remaining 27 percent were committed
with personal weapons such as hands, fists, and feet. A
comparison of aggravated assault from 1975 to 1979
revealed that the use of firearms as weapons increased 8
percent; assaults with knives or other cutting instruments
rose 1 1 percent; assaults where blunt objects or other
dangerous weapons were used increased 28 percent; and
those aggravated assaults committed through the use of
personal weapons climbed 18 percent. The accompanying
table exhibits the regional experience of aggravated
assault in 1979 by type of weapon used.

Clearances
Collectively, city law enforcement agencies cleared an
average of 59 per 100 cases of aggravated assault in 1979.
This relatively high clearance rate was consistent with
high rates for other crimes against the person. Persons
under 1 8 years of age, exclusively, were identified in 1 1
percent of the city clearances.
Suburban and rural agencies reported 58 and 70 percent
aggravated assault clearance rates, respectively. Persons
under age 18 accounted for 13 percent of the suburban
clearances and 6 percent of those in the rural areas.
Persons Arrested
Arrests for aggravated assault, during the period 1975-
1979, were up 9 percent. Since 1975, arrests of persons 18
years of age and over for aggravated assault have risen 1 1
percent, and arrests of persons under age 1 8 increased less
than 1 percent.

BURGLARY
DEFINITION
The Uniform Crime Reporting Program defines burglary as the unlawful entry of
a structure to commit a felony or theft. The use offeree to gain entry is not required
to classify an offense as burglary. Burglary in this Program is categorized into three
subclassifications: forcible entry, unlawful entry where no force is used, and
attempted forcible entry.

Volume
In 1979, there were an estimated 3,299,484 offenses of
burglary in the United States. For the year, large cities
with 250,000 or more inhabitants accounted for 30 percent
of the total burglary figure.
Burglary made up 27 percent of the total Crime Index
offenses and was found to comprise 30 percent of the
property crime. Geographically, the Southern States, the
most populous region, experienced 32 percent of all
reported burglaries; the Western States, 24 percent; and
the Northeastern and North Central States, 22 percent
each.
Viewed monthly, the highest volume of burglaries was
recorded in December of 1979.

Trend
The 5-year trend, 1975-1979, indicated burglary of-
fenses rose 1 percent. Nationally in 1979, the burglary
volume increased 6 percent over 1978. For the year, cities
250,000 and over in population reported an increase of 6
percent; the suburban areas, a 5-percent increase; and the
rural areas, a 3-percent rise. An upswing was registered in
all regions, with the Southern States up 10 percent; the
Northeastern and North Central States both having 6-
percent increases; and the Western States showing a 2-
percent upturn.
Rate
The 1,499 burglaries per 100,000 inhabitants reported
during 1979 represented a 5-percent increase over the
1978 rate, but a 2-percent decrease from the 1975
experience. For 1979, the SMSAs reported a rate of 1,709
burglaries per 100,000 people, cities outside metropolitan
areas (Other Cities) had a rate of 1,134 for every 100,000
in population, and the rural areas recorded a lower rate of
771 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Although the Western States recorded the highest 1979
burglary rate with 1,949 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants,
their rate showed virtually no change from 1978. Each of
the remaining regions showed rate increases from 1978.
The Southern States' rate of 1,486 was up 8 percent; the
Northeastern States followed with 1,473, up 7 percent;
and the North Central States' rate of 1,220 represented a
5-percent rise.
Seventy-three percent of the burglaries in 1979 in-
volved forcible entry, 20 percent were unlawful entries
(without force), and the remainder were forcible entry
attempts.
Residential offenses accounted for 64 percent of the
total burglaries in 1979; nonresidential burglaries made up
the remaining 36 percent. Daytime occurrences increased
6 percent for residential property and 12 percent for the
nonresidential category in 1979 from 1978. Nighttime
burglaries also rose — 8 percent for nonresidential struc-
tures and 3 percent for the residential category.
During the period 1975-1979, daytime burglaries rose
in volume, while nighttime incidents declined. Residential
burglaries were up 7 percent during the day, but de-
creased 10 percent for the nighttime. Nonresidential
daytime occurrences increased 21 percent, while night-
time occurrences fell 9 percent.
Burglary represents a substantial financial loss. In 1979,
burglary victims suffered losses totaling $2.1 billion. The
average dollar loss per burglary was $644.
Clearances
In 1979, adults were involved in 68 percent of all
burglary offenses cleared, and only young people under
18 years of age were offenders in the remaining 32
percent. Thirty-six percent of the burglary clearances in
the suburban areas and 29 percent of those in the rural
areas involved solely persons under age 18.
Of the burglaries reported within their jurisdictions in
1979, law enforcement agencies in rural areas cleared 19
percent; those in the suburban areas recorded a clearance
rate of 15 percent; and agencies in cities with 250,(X)0 or
more inhabitants obtained clearances in 13 percent of
these crimes.
Persons Arrested
In the UCR Program, the arrests of several persons may
account for the clearance of but one crime. Likewise, with
the arrest of one individual, law enforcement agencies
may clear numerous offenses, which is often true in cases
of burglary. In analyzing the 1975-1979 period, an 11-
percent decline in burglary arrests was seen. Arrests of
individuals under the age of 18 dropped 16 percent, and
arrests of adult burglary offenders fell 5 percent.
When the 1978-1979 burglary figures were compared,
an increase of 6 percent was seen for total burglary arrests
of persons 1 8 years of age and over, while a decrease of 6
percent was seen for persons under the age of 18. Arrests
for burglary were up 1 percent in both the suburban and

LARCENY-THEFT
_ DEFINITION
Larceny-theft is the unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of
property from the possession or constructive possession of another. It includes
crimes such as shoplifting, pocket-picking, purse-snatching, thefts from motor
vehicles, thefts of motor vehicle parts and accessories, bicycle thefts, etc., in which
no use of force, violence, or fraud occurs. In the Uniform Crime Reporting
Program, this crime category does not include embezzlement, "con" games,
forgery, and worthless checks. Motor vehicle theft is also excluded from this
category for crime reporting purposes inasmuch as it is a separate Crime Index
offense.

Volume
An estimated 6,577,518 offenses of larceny-theft oc-
curred in 1979. This high-volume offense made up 54
percent of the Crime Index total and 60 percent of the
property crimes. As in 1978, the volume of larceny-theft
was highest during the month of August.
Geographically, the Southern States, which are the
most populous, reported the highest number of larceny-
thefts, 31 percent of the total. The North Central States
followed with 26 percent, the Western States recorded 24
percent, and the Northeastern States accounted for the
remainder.
MAY iUNE JULY AUG. SEPT. OCT.
Trend
The volume of larceny-thefts in 1979 rose 10 percent
from 1978. The rural areas showed an increase of 13
percent; in the suburban areas, a 10 percent upturn was
registered; and cities with populations of 250,000 or more
reported an upswing of 7 percent.
The larceny-theft trend showed little variation among
the regions. The Northeastern States reported an 11-
percent increase; the Southern and Western States experi-
enced upswings of 10 percent; and the North Central
States showed a rise of 9 percent in the volume of
larceny-thefts.
Rate
During 1979, there were 2,988 larceny-thefts per
100,000 United States' inhabitants, an increase of 9 percent
from the 1978 rate and 7 percent from 1975.
In SMSAs, the 1979 larceny-theft rate was 3,353 per
100,000 inhabitants; 3,218 per 100,000 inhabitants in cities
outside metropolitan areas (Other Cities); and 1,072 in the
rural areas.
The Western States reported the highest 1979 larceny-
theft rate with 3,823 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants, an 8-
percent increase over 1978. The North Central States had
a rate of 2,926, a rise of 9 percent; the Southern States'
rate of 2,808 was up 8 percent; and the Northeastern
States, with a rate of 2,626, reported an increase of 1 1
percent.
Nature
For each reported larceny-theft in 1979 the average
value of property stolen was $256, up from $219 in 1978.
When the average value was applied to the estimated
number of larceny-thefts, the loss to victims nationally
was $1.7 billion. While a portion of the goods stolen is
recovered, the relatively low clearance percentage for
larceny-thefts (19 percent) and the frequent absence of
owner identification on recovered property indicate the
overall loss due to this criminal activity is not substantially
reduced. In addition, other studies have indicated many
offenses in this category, particularly if the value of the
stolen goods is small, never come to police attention.
In 1979, the average value of goods and property
reported stolen as a result of pocket-picking was $190; by
purse-snatching, $129; and by shoplifting, $59. Miscella-
neous thefts from buildings and thefts from motor vehicles
averaged $391 and $299, respectively, and thefts of motor
vehicle accessories resulted in average losses of $109 per
offense.
As in prior years, a large portion of these offenses, 37
percent, was comprised of thefts of motor vehicle parts,
accessories, and contents. Other major types of thefts
which contributed to the large number of these crimes
were those from buildings, 16 percent, and stolen bicycles
and shoplifting, 11 percent each. The remainder was
distributed among pocket-picking, purse-snatching, thefts
from coin-operated machines, and miscellaneous types of
larceny-thefts. The accompanying table presents the
distribution of larceny-theft by type and geographic
region.

Volume
Totaling an estimated 1,097,189 offenses in 1979, motor
vehicle thefts accounted for 9 percent of all Index crimes.
While more of these offenses — 29 percent — occurred in
the Northeastern States, the Southern States followed
closely with 25 percent, and both the North Central and
Western States reported 23 percent. The volume of thefts
of motor vehicles was highest during the month of
October.

Trend
The number of motor vehicle thefts in 1979 jumpea > I
percent over the 1978 experience.
During the 1978-1979 period, the increases in motor
vehicle thefts ranged from 15 percent in cities with
populations from 10,000 to 24,999 to 6 percent in cities
with 100,000 to 249,999 inhabitants. Cities 250,000 and
over in population and the suburban and rural areas all
reported increases of 1 1 percent in the volume of these
offenses.
Geographically, motor vehicle thefts were up in all
regions. The greatest increase occurred in the most
populous region, the Southern States, which showed a 16-
percent upturn. The North Central States recorded a 10-
percent rise, and the Northeastern and Western States
each reported 9-percent increases. The accompanying
chart illustrates that the volume of motor vehicle thefts
has risen 10 percent since 1975.
Rate
The motor vehicle theft rate of 498 offenses per 100,000
inhabitants in 1979 was up 10 percent from 1978 and 6
percent over the 1975 experience. In 1979, 1,244 thefts per
100,000 inhabitants occurred in cities with populations
over one million.
Nationally, the motor vehicle theft rate in the SMSAs
was 611 per 100,000 inhabitants. Cities outside metropoli-
tan areas (Other Cities) had a motor vehicle theft rate of
266, and the rural areas recorded the lowest rate, 137. The
continuing high motor vehicle theft rates in the most
heavily populated municipalities of the Nation clearly
indicate this crime is primarily a large-city problem.
Of the Nation's regions, the Northeastern States report-
ed the highest motor vehicle theft rate, 660 per 100,000
inhabitants, a 9-percent increase from 1978. The remaining
regions' rates per 100,000 population were 606 in the
Western States, up 6 percent; 433 in the North Central
States, a rise of 9 percent; and 379 in the Southern States,
a 14-percent jump.
In 1979, an estimated average of 1 of every 145
registered motor vehicles was stolen nationally. Geo-
graphically, this rate was greatest in the Northeastern
Region where 1 1 of every 1,000 motor vehicles registered
were stolen. The other three regions reported lesser
rates — 8 per 1,000 in the Western States, 6 in the North
Central States, and 5 in the Southern States.
Nature
During 1979, the average value of motor vehicles stolen
was $2,692 at the time of theft. Of all motor vehicles
reported stolen during the year, 75 percent were automo-
biles, 13 percent were trucks or buses, and 12 percent
were other types.

Clearances
Law enforcement agencies in cities cleared 14 percent
of the motor vehicle thefts reported in their locales during
1979; those in the suburban areas cleared 18 percent; and
rural agencies cleared 34 percent. By geographic location,
clearance percentages for motor vehicle theft ranged from
23 percent in the South Atlantic Division to 9 percent in
both the New England and Middle Atlantic Divisions.
A high proportion of the clearances in all geographic
divisions and population groups involved only persons
under 18 years of age. In the suburban areas, persons in
this age group accounted for 29 percent of the motor
vehicle thefts cleared; in the Nation's cities, they account-
ed for 28 percent; and in the rural areas, 25 percent.
Persons Arrested
As in prior years, motor vehicle theft arrests primarily
involved the younger segment of the Nation's population.
During 1979, 69 percent of all persons arrested for motor

vehicle theft were under 21 years of age, and those under percent over 1978. During the period 1975-1979, motor
18 accounted for 49 percent of the total. vehicle theft arrests increased 2 percent.
When the total volume of arrests for this offense during Whites made up 70 percent of the arrestees for motor
1979 was compared with that of the previous year, a vehicle theft. Blacks 27 percent, and all other races
decrease of 1 percent was observed. Arrests of persons accounted for the remainder,
under 18 were down 5 percent, but adult arrests rose 3

ARSON
DEFINITION
Arson is defined by the Uniform Crime Reporting Program as any willful or
malicious burning or attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling
house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.
Only fires determined through investigation to have been willfully or maliciously
set are classified as arsons. Fires of suspicious or unknown origins are excluded.
34
Background
Arson was designated a Uniform Crime Reporting Part
I, Crime Index offense by congressional mandate in
October, 1978. The FBI staff responsible for the UCR
Program immediately began developing a data collection
strategy that would eventually allow for an accurate
portrayal of the arson problem. The strategy was also
designed to protect the integrity of historical UCR data.
Since the entire concept of the Crime Index is based on
actual offenses known to law enforcement, it was deter-
mined that only data on fires established through investi-
gation to have been willfully or maliciously set, including
attempts, were to be solicited. Unknown origin or suspi-
cious fires were to be excluded from the offense counts
until authorities definitely determined them to be arsons,
and therefore, crimes.
It was also recognized at the outset in planning the data
collection that arson offenses frequently occurred in
conjunction with other Index crimes, e.g., burglary.
However, according to UCR procedures in such multiple
offense situations, only one crime selected on the basis of
an established hierarchy was to be reported. For example,
if a burglary and arson occurred at the same time and
place, only the burglary would be reported if the crimes
were subjected to the hierarchy rule of reporting Index
offenses. This assumes, of course, that arson would be
listed subordinate to burglary in the hierarchy. To
overcome this obstacle, arson was excluded from this
hierarchical procedure, and the requirement was estab-
lished that all arsons, regardless of their occurrence in
conjunction with another crime against property or crime
against a person, were to be reported.
In order to design a data collection form that would
provide detailed and meaningful information regarding
arson, the UCR Program's staff established liaison with
members of the law enforcement, fire service, and
insurance communities. Each of these three entities
furnished the national UCR Program with invaluable
background information, suggestions on the types of
arson-related data to be collected, and many more
recommendations. Utilizing the input from these sources,
a form was developed, and in April, 1979, it was approved
by the Office of Management and Budget, printed, and
distributed to UCR contributors.
Initial indications show a positive spirit of cooperation
among agencies and individuals interested in the collec-
tion, analysis, and publication of arson data. Each of the
50 states responded in some degree to the data solicitation,
and while not all participating agencies were able to
furnish figures for the first months of 1979, many provided
partial information.
Volume
While not all UCR participating agencies were able to
respond to the arson data collection request, 8,528
agencies (representing 61 percent of the United States
population) submitted 6 or more monthly arson reports.
On the submissions, a total of 77,147 arson offenses were
reported during 1979. Of the 8,528 agencies submitting
arson counts, 8,344 provided complete reports with
detailed information, including type of structure and
extent of damage.
Nature
Structures were by far the most frequent targets of
arsons in 1979, comprising 57 percent of the total reported
incidents. Mobile (motor vehicles, trailers, airplanes,
boats, etc.) and other property (crops, timber, fences,
signs, etc.) accounted for the remaining offenses with 24
and 19 percent, respectively.
Residences comprised more than half of the structures
at which arsons were directed. Seventeen percent of all
targeted structural property was uninhabited or aban-
doned at the time the arson occurred.
The total monetary value of property damaged due to
reported arsons during 1979 exceeded one-half billion
dollars, and the average loss per incident was $7,465.
Industrial/manufacturing structures registered the highest
average loss, $49,769 per offense.

Clearances
Seventeen percent of all reported arsons were cleared
by arrest or exceptional means with the highest clearance
rate (32 percent) being recorded for offenses in which
community or public structures were involved. Only
persons under 18 years of age accounted for 46 percent of
the reported arson clearances.
Persons Arrested
While the number of arson offenses reported to law
enforcement was first collected by the national UCR
Program in 1979, the number of arrests for this crime has
been reported for many years. During 1979, an estimated
19,800 arson arrests were reported by law enforcement
agencies. The volume of arrests rose 5 percent in 1979
over the 1978 figures and 8 percent over those in 1975.
Forty-nine percent of all persons arrested for arson in
1979 were under 18 years of age, and 73 percent were
under 25. Seventy-nine percent of the arrestees were
White, 19 percent were Black, and the remainder were of
other races. Males comprised 89 percent of all persons
arrested for this offense.

An estimated 12,152,730 Crime Index offenses, 9 per-
cent more than during 1978, were reported to law
enforcement agencies in 1979. Collectively, violent
crimes, which comprised 10 percent of the total Crime
Index, were up 11 percent and property crimes rose 9
percent.
All offenses within the Index increased in volume
during the year. Among the violent crimes, murder was
up 10 percent; forcible rape, 13 percent; robbery, 12
percent; and aggravated assault, 10 percent. In the
property crime category, burglary increased 6 percent,
larceny-theft rose 10 percent, and motor vehicle theft was
up 11 percent.
Since 1975, the total volume of Crime Index offenses
increased 8 percent. A rise of 15 percent was seen in the
violent crime category, and an upswing of 7 percent was
reported for property crime during this 5-year period.

Provided in the table, "Regional Offense and Popula-
tion Distribution, 1979," are data showing the estimated
geographical distribution of Index crimes and population.
When utilizing figures presented on a regional basis in this
publication, the reader is cautioned to consider each
region's proportion of the total United States population.
For example, while the Southern States accounted for the
largest volume of Crime Index offenses in 1979, they also
represented the greatest regional population.
Based on the Crime Index offenses, crime rates relate
the incidence of reported crime to population. However,
many factors, some of which are shown on page v of this
publication, influence the nature and extent of crime in a
particular community. A crime rate takes into consider-
ation only the numerical factor of population and does not
incorporate any of the other elements which contribute to
the amount of crime in a given area.
The table, "Crime Rate, Region, 1979," lists the crime
rates for the four geographic regions of the United States.

Crime Index Tabulations
In the accompanying tables, data on crime in the United
States as a whole; geographic divisions; individual states;
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas; and cities, towns,
and counties are presented. Although the total number of
criminal acts occurring is unknown, offenses reported to
law enforcement agencies represent an indicator of crimi-
nal activity.
In reviewing the tables in this report, it must be
remembered that many factors can cause the volume and
type of crime to vary from place to place. Population, one
of these factors, is used in computing crime rates;
however, all communities are affected to some degree by
seasonal or transient populations. Since estimates of
current permanent population are used to construct crime
rates, short term population variability is not accounted
for in these rates.
In addition to the presentations outlined above, national
averages for the value of property stolen in connection
with each offense are presented in the tables. Further
breakdowns by type for the robbery, burglary, and
larceny-theft classifications are listed. Also, data on the
38
type and value of property stolen and recovered are tion's law enforcement agency. The analysis, however,
provided. should not end with such a comparison. It is only through
National averages can serve as a valuable guide for the an appraisal of local conditions that a clear picture of the
law enforcement administrator in analyzing the local community crime problem or the effectiveness of the law
crime count, as well as the performance of the jurisdic- enforcement operation is possible.

'Populations are Bureau of the Census provisional esiimates as of July I, 1979.
^The collection of statistics on arson, a newly established Index offense, was begun during 1979. However, summary tabulations are not yet available for inclusion in this table. The
number of arson offenses reported by individual law enforcement agencies are displayed in tables 6 through 9 of this publication.
^Violent crimes are offenses of murder, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Properly crimes are offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. Data are not
included for the property crime of arson.
*The percentage representing area actually reporting will not coincide with the ratio between reported and estimated crime totals, since these data represent the sum of the calculations
for individual states which have varying populations, portions reporting, and crime rates.

SECTION III
CRIME INDEX OFFENSES CLEARED
A crime is cleared when a law enforcement agency has
dentified the offender, has sufficient evidence to charge
lim, and actually takes him into custody. In exceptional
nstances, crimes may be cleared when some element
)eyond police control precludes taking the offender into
;ustody. Examples of circumstances resulting in excep-
ional clearances would be the death of an offender
suicide, deathbed confession, etc.) or the refusal of a
victim to prosecute after an offender is identified. It
ihould be noted that the arrest of one person can clear
;everal crimes or several persons may be arrested in the
process of clearing one crime.
In 1979, law enforcement agencies reported that 20
jercent of the Index crimes were cleared. Among the
/iolent crimes, 73 percent of murder offenses, 48 percent
3f forcible rapes, 25 percent of robberies, and 59 percent
)f aggravated assaults were cleared by law enforcement
igencies. In connection with property crimes, police
cleared 15 percent of the burglaries, 19 percent of the
arceny-thefts, and 14 percent of the motor vehicle thefts.
Clearances for crimes against persons are generally higher
than those for crimes against property because more
intense investigation efforts are often afforded these
offenses and because witnesses who can identify the
perpetrators are frequently available.
Regionally, the highest overall Crime Index clearance
rate was recorded by the Southern States with 22 percent.
The Western and North Central States each reported 20-
percent clearance rates, and the Northeastern States
recorded 17 percent cleared.
Clearances Involving Only Persons under 18 Years of
Age
Only persons under 1 8 years of age were the offenders
in 27 percent of the Crime Index offenses cleared in 1979.
Clearances involving only youths in the aforementioned
age group were 12 percent for violent crimes and 31
percent for property crimes. During the same year,
persons 10 to 17 years of age accounted for approximately
14 percent of the total United States population.

SECTION IV
PERSONS ARRESTED
Although primarily an indication of law enforcement
activity, the number of arrests provides a limited profile of
the perpetrators of crime, especially for those crimes
which have high clearance rates. Differing arrest prac-
tices, policies, and enforcement emphases among agencies
influence the volume of arrests for various offenses,
particularly those against public order, such as drunken-
ness, vagrancy, disorderly conduct, and related violations.
However, arrests for serious crimes, e.g., robbery or
burglary, are more likely to be consistent and uniform
throughout all jurisdictions. Procedures employed in this
Program require that an arrest be counted on each
separate occasion an individual is taken into custody,
notified, or cited. Also, although several charges may be
lodged against a person at the time of arrest, only one
arrest is counted for each separate time he is taken into
custody.
Law enforcement agencies in the United States effected
an estimated 10.2 million arrests in 1979 for all criminal
infractions other than traffic violations. Nationally, the
arrest rate per 1,000 inhabitants was 46; for cities with
populations 250,000 and over, the rate was 61; for
suburban counties, 39; and for rural counties, 34.
Arrest Trends
Arrests by law enforcement for all crimes other than
traffic violations increased 1 percent in 1979 from 1978. In
this same period, arrests of persons under 1 8 years of age
decreased 2 percent, while arrests of persons 1 8 years of
age and over were up 2 percent. When only arrests for
Crime Index offenses (murder and nonnegligent man-
slaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault,
burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson)
were used to compute a trend for all ages, a 3-percent
increase was evident for 1979 as compared to 1978.
During the 5 years from 1975 to 1979, arrests for all
offenses except traffic increased 1 percent, with arrests of
persons under 1 8 years of age down 1 1 percent. Arrests of
persons 18 years of age and over, however, increased 6
percent. When restricted to the eight Crime Index
offenses, total arrests declined 2 percent and those of
persons under age 18 fell 11 percent. An increase of 5
percent in adult arrests occurred during the same 5-year
period.
Arrests for drug abuse violations in 1979 decreased 7
percent nationwide from 1978. In the period 1975 to 1979,
arrests for these violations were down 11 percent. The
186
types of drugs involved in violations resulting in arrests '■

Age
In the Nation, 7 percent of all persons arrested were
under the age of 15, 23 percent were under 18, 40 percent;
were under 21, and 57 percent under 25. In the suburban
areas, the volume of arrests of persons in the young-age >
groups was greater than the national figures, with the:
under 15 age group representing 8 percent; under 18, 26
percent; under 21, 45 percent; and under 25, 61 percent.
The distributions of arrests in the rural areas were lower
for the younger age groups, with the under 15 group
being involved in only 3 percent; under 18, in 13 percent;
under 21, in 31 percent; and those under 25, in 49 percent.
Considering only the Crime Index offenses (including
arson), the percent of all arrestees in the Nation during;
1979 who were under the age of 15 was 14 percent; under,
the age of 18, 39 percent; under 21, 57 percent; and underj
25, 72 percent. I
Sex
Male arrests increased 1 percent in 1979 over 1978,
while female arrests decreased 1 percent. Arrests of males
outnumbered those of females by 5 to 1, nationally, with
males accounting for 81 percent of the arrests for Index
crimes and 90 percent of those for crimes of violence

ESTIMATES, JULY 1, 1979.
Female arrests for Index crimes were down less than 1
lercent from 1978. As in previous years, their criminal
nvolvement related mainly to larceny, which accounted
or 79 percent of all female arrests for Index offenses.
From 1975 to 1979, arrests of males under 18 years of
ige decreased 10 percent; female arrests for the identical
ige group decreased 13 percent. Arrests for the eight
i^rime Index offenses during this 5-year period declined

SECTION V
LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL
Law Enforcement Employees
A total of 437,000 full-time law enforcement officers for
a national rate of 2.1 per 1,000 inhabitants was reported as
of October 31, 1979, by 11,698 agencies representing more
than 207 million United States inhabitants. Including full-
time civilians, the total law enforcement employee count
was 553,000 and the rate 2.7 per 1,000 inhabitants.
Because of wide variations in the responsibilities of law
enforcement agencies across the Nation, caution should be
used when attempting any comparison of employee rates.
Just as many factors affect the extent and type of crime
from place to place, the conditions present in any given
community affect the type of police service required. For
example, the need for law enforcement service in a
community having a highly mobile or seasonal population
differs from a locale whose population is relatively stable.
Further, a small community situated between two large
cities may, due to its geographic location, require a
greater number of law enforcement personnel than a
similarly sized community having no urban centers near-
by.
The functions of sheriffs also differ significantly in
various sections of the country. In certain areas, the
sheriffs' responsibilities are limited almost exclusively to
civil functions and/or the administration of the county jail
facilities. Likewise, state police and highway patrol
agencies may have vastly different responsibilities from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
The law enforcement employee rates presented in the
following tables represent national averages; they should
be viewed as guides or indicators, not as recommended or
desirable police strengths. Adequate manpower for a
specific locale can only be determined after careful study
and analysis of the various conditions which contribute to
the requirements for law enforcement service in that
jurisdiction.
Many United States cities operate with substantially
fewer law enforcement employees than the national
average. For example, the average for cities in the 10,000
to 49,999 population range was 2.0 law enforcement
employees per 1,000 inhabitants. However, this low
average rate for smaller cities is contrasted by the higher
3.4 average rate for cities with populations of 250,000 or
more. The Nation's suburban areas averaged 2.3 full-time
law enforcement employees per 1,000 inhabitants, while
for sheriffs' or county police departments the average rate
was 2.0.
Geographically, the South Atlantic and Middle Atlan-
tic Divisions recorded the highest rates of law enforce-
ment employees per 1,000 inhabitants, 3.1 and 2.8, respec-
tively. The fewest employees per 1,000 population were
reported by the West North Central and West South
Central Divisions, each with an average rate of 2.2.
Sworn Personnel
Rates based solely on sworn law enforcement personnel
(excluding civilians) showed the average for all cities was
2.1 officers per 1,000 inhabitants. The lowest average rate
was recorded in cities with populations between 25,000
and 49,999 with 1.6, while cities with 250,000 or more
inhabitants registered the highest, 2.8. For sheriffs' or
county police departments, the average rate was 1.5 per
1,000 population.
In city agencies, males represented 97 percent of all
sworn personnel; in suburban agencies they accounted for
95 percent; and in sheriffs' and county police departments,
91 percent.
Civilian Employees
During 1979, 18 percent of all city law enforcement
personnel were civilians. In suburban areas, civilians
represented 20 percent of the total strength, and in
sheriffs' and county police departments, they comprised
23 percent.

ASSAULTS ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS
An average rate of 17 of every 100 law enforcement
officers nationwide were assaulted in 1979. During the
year, 59,031 assaults were reported by 9,638 agencies
covering approximately 83 percent of the total United
States population.
Injuries to Law Enforcement Officers
Nationally, nearly 22,000 personal injuries, a rate of 6
per 100 officers, were reported as resulting from assaults
on officers in 1979. Geographically, the injury rate ranged
from 3 per 100 officers in the East South Central Division
to 1 1 per 100 in the New England Division. Within
population groups, law enforcement officers in cities with
100,000 to 249,999 inhabitants experienced the greatest
rate of assaults with injuries, 9 per 100. Sheriffs' and
county police departments had the lowest injury rate with
3 per 100 officers.

Firearms were used in 5 percent of the assaults, knives or
cutting instruments in 3 percent, and other dangerous
weapons in 9 percent. Tables 66 and 68 present data on
the types of weapons used in assaults within geographic
divisions and population groups and by the types of
(activities in which the officers were involved at the time
I the assaults occurred.
Of all officers assaulted with firearms, 21 percent
sustained personal injuries. Thirty-four percent of the
assaults with knives or other cutting instruments, 38
percent of those with personal weapons, and 41 percent of
those with other weapons resulted in injuries to law
enforcement officers during the year.
Time of Assault
Data concerning assaults on officers by time and
population group are set forth in Table 69. Approximately
one-half of the assaults on law enforcement officers
occurred during the 6-hour period 8:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.

Activity of Law Enforcement Officers at the Time of
Assault
The largest portion of assaults, 32 percent, occurred
while officers were responding to disturbance calls (fami-
ly quarrels, man-with-gun calls, bar fights, etc.). Three
percent of the officers assaulted were responding to
robberies or burglaries in progress or attempting to
apprehend suspects in these crimes, and 21 percent were
attempting arrests for other crimes. Twelve percent of the
assaults occurred while officers were engaged in the
handling, transporting, or custody of prisoners; 1 1 percent
while enforcing traffic laws; and 8 percent while investi-
gating suspicious persons. The remainder were attacked
while performing other various duties.
Type of Assignment
Table 71 shows the types of assignment of officers
assaulted. Forty-eight percent were in one-officer vehi-
cles, 32 percent in two-officer vehicles, 6 percent on
detective or special assignments, and 14 percent on other
assignments. Vehicle patrol officers were victims in 80
percent of all assaults on officers.
Qearances
Ninety-three percent of the assaults on law enforcement
officers reported in 1979 were cleared. In terms of
population grouping, cities with populations ranging from
10,000 to 49,999 had the highest clearance rate, 95
percent.
By activity, the highest clearance percentages for all
agencies were recorded for assaults on officers responding
to disturbance calls. Ninety-five percent of these offenses
were cleared. The lowest clearance rate (66 percent) was
reported for ambush attacks on officers. Table 72 shows
the percentage of assaults cleared by type of activity and
population group.

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED
In 1979, 106 local, county, state, and Federal law
enforcement officers were feloniously killed as compared
to 93 in 1978. During the 10-year period, 1970-1979, 1,143
officers were slain. It should be noted that the collection
of statistics regarding officers killed in the line of duty was
expanded in 1971 to include United States' territories
(Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Guam). Also, the
gathering of data on slain Federal officers was begun in
1972. Therefore, 10-year data on officers killed include
figures for United States' territories since 1971 and
Federal officers since 1972.

Geographic Locations
As in previous years, more officers (49) were slain in
1979 in the country's most populous region, the South,
than in any other. Twenty-three officers were killed in the
Western States, 16 in the North Central States, 13 in the
Northeastern States, 3 in Puerto Rico, and 2 in Guam.
The accompanying chart shows the number of law
enforcement officers killed in the geographic regions
during each of two successive 5-year periods, 1970-1974
and 1975-1979. Information on officers feloniously killed
in 1979 by geographic division and population group is
presented in the following table.
Of the 106 officers slain during 1979, 101 were from 87
different local, county, state, and Federal law enforce-
ment agencies in 30 states. As indicated above, the
remaining 5 were from Puerto Rico and Guam. Among
the states, California, with 10 officers slain, lost more
officers in line-of-duty deaths than any other. The State of
Texas followed with 8 officers killed.
Circumstances Surrounding Deaths
During the year, 19 officers were slain by persons
engaged in the commission of a robbery or during the
pursuit of robbery suspects, and 7 lost their lives at the
scene of burglaries or while pursuing burglary suspects.
Twenty-one officers were killed while attempting arrests
for crimes other than robbery or burglary.
Ambush situations accounted for 11 officers' deaths in
1979. Seventeen officers were slain responding to distur-
bance calls (family quarrels, man-with-gun calls, bar
fights, etc.) and 15 were killed while enforcing traffic
laws. Nine officers lost their lives while investigating
suspicious persons or circumstances, 4 while handling
mentally deranged persons, and 3 while engaged in the
handling, transporting, or custody of prisoners.
Types of Assignment
Seventy-one of the officers slain in 1979 were on patrol
duty, and of those, 68 were assigned to vehicles and 3
were on foot patrol. The perils inherent in patrol duties
are substantiated by the fact that, in recent years, officers
assigned in this capacity have consistently been the most
frequent victims of the police killer. The patrol officer is
often placed in dangerous situations and must react to
circumstances as they occur without the benefit of
detailed information or planning. He is repeatedly in
contact with suspicious or dangerous individuals, each of
whom could constitute a threat to his personal safety.

While possibly not with the same regularity, law
enforcement officers assigned in other capacities are
confronted with equally tense and dangerous situations. In
1979, 24 officers slain were detectives or on special
assignments, and in the highest tradition of the law
enforcement profession, 11 officers were off duty but
taking appropriate police action in response to a criminal
act when murdered.
Of the 95 officers who were on duty when slain during
1979, 46 were alone and unassisted when killed. Forty-
two percent (420) of the on-duty officers killed during the
period 1970-1979 were alone at the time they were
attacked.
Weapons Used
One hundred (94 percent) of the law enforcement
officers killed in 1979 were slain with firearms. Seventy-
six of these deaths were perpetrated with handguns, 18
with rifles, and 6 with shotguns. Seventeen officers were
felled with their own firearms. Of the 6 officers not slain
with firearms, 4 were killed with knives, 1 by a bomb, and
1 by a vehicle.
Forty-nine of the officers who met their demise in 1979
attempted to utilize their service firearms while in contact
with their assailants, and 27 of these officers discharged
their service weapons while attempting to protect them-
selves. Fifty percent of the officers killed by firearms were
within 5 feet of their assailants at the time they were shot.
Day and Hour of Attack
Although, as can be seen from the accompanying data,
no one day of the week can be singled out as being
significantly more hazardous to a law enforcement officer
than any other, it can be stated that more officers are slain
during the nighttime hours. From 1970-1979, 43 percent
(488) of the 1,143 officers who lost their lives in the line of
duty were killed during the 6-hour period, 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.

Persons Identified
Law enforcement agencies cleared 102 of the 106
killings of police officers which occurred during 1979. In
connection with these crimes, 146 offenders were identi-
fied, 97 percent of which were male. Of all persons
identified, 5 1 percent were White, 47 percent were Black,
and the other 2 percent were of other races. The assailants
ranged in age from 15 to 86, and the average age was 29
years. Five percent of the offenders were under the age of
18, and 60 percent were between 18 and 30 years of age.
As can be seen from the accompanying chart, the
majority of the assailants were not first-offenders. Sixty-
three percent had prior arrests, 49 percent had previous
convictions, and 43 percent had been arrested for violent
crimes, such as murder, forcible rape, etc. Thirty-six
percent of the offenders had at one time been paroled or
given probation following criminal convictions, while 16
percent were on parole or probation at the time of the
police killing in which they were involved. Persons
having prior arrests for narcotic charges made up 13
percent of the total offenders, and 6 percent had previous
arrests for police assaults.
During 1979, there were 17 offenders justifiably killed
either at the scene of the police killing or in ensuing
confrontations. Five of these assailants were killed and an
additional 11 were wounded by the victim officers
themselves. Four of the offenders committed suicide.

TABLE METHODOLOGY
This appendix is to assist the reader in understanding
the tables presented in this pubhcation. By utiHzing the
following key, the reader will gain a better understanding
of table construction.
Key: A) Column 1 shows the table number. This appen-
dix will refer to Tables 1 through 54, Crime in
the United States— 1979.
B) Column 2 indicates the level of submission
necessary for an agency's statistics to be
included in a table. There are three levels of
agency participation:
1. Agencies having reported data for
all 12 months of the year.
2. Agencies having reported data for
at least one month but less than 12
months of the year.
3. Nonreporting agencies.
The tabulations presented in the publication
employ statistics from one or more of the
above-listed participation levels. For example,
Table 1 includes all three agency reporting
levels, but Table 14 presents only the data from
agencies having reported for the entire year.
C) Column 3 explains how each table was con-
structed. Data adjustments, if any, are dis-
cussed along with various definitions of data
aggregation.
D) Column 4 contains general comments regard-
ing the potential use and misuse of the statistics
presented.

"Cities and Towns" are defined to be agencies in
Population Groups 1 through V (App. III). The
population is based on July 1, 1979, population
estimations of each agency.
Student enrollment figures are adjusted by convert-
ing part-time students into full-time equivalents
(FTEs) as provided by the National Center for
Education Statistics of the U. S. Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare. FTEs are com-
puted by taking the fraction of part-time students
by the prescribed method in the "Higher Educa-
tion General Information Survey (HEGIS XII)."
"Suburban Counties" are defined to be the area
covered by all noncity agencies within an SMSA
(App. III).
"Rural Counties" are those outside SMSAs and not
covered by city police agencies (App. III).
Population classifications of rural counties are
based on July 1, 1979, population estimations of
individual agencies.
The 1979 crime trend statistics are 2-year compari-
sons based on 1979 reported crime activity. Only
common reported months for individual agencies
are included in 1979 trend calculations. Popula-
tions represent July 1, 1979, estimations of indi-
vidual agencies. The tabular breakdowns are
according to UCR crime definitions (App. II)
and population classifications (App. III). Note
that "Suburban and Non-Suburban Cities" repre-
sents all city agencies other than core cities
SMSAs.
The 1979 crime rates are the ratios of the aggregated
1979 crime volumes and the aggregated 1979
populations of the contributing agencies. Popula-
tion statistics represent July 1, 1979, estimations
of individual agencies. The tabular breakdowns
are according to UCR crime definitions (App. II)

that "Suburban and Non-Suburban" represents
all city agencies other than core cities
SMSAs.
Offense total and value lost total are computed for
all Index offense categories other than aggravat-
ed assault. Percent distribution is derived based
on offense total with each Index offense. Trend
statistics are derived based on agencies with at
least 6 common months complete for 1978 and
1979.
The 1979 clearance rates are based on offense and
clearance volume totals of the contributing agen-
cies for 1979. Population statistics represent July

The arrest totals presented are national estimates
based on the arrest statistics of all law enforce-
ment agencies in the UCR Program (including
those submitting less than 12 months). A corre-
sponding population is used when less than 12
months are used. The "Total Estimated Arrests"
statistic is the sum of estimated arrest volumes
for each of the 29 offenses. Each individual arrest
total is the sum of the estimated volumes within
each of the eight population groups (App. III).
Each group's estimate is the reported volume (as
shown in Table 25) divided by the percent of
total group population reporting (as estimated
for July 1, 1979).
For example, in the Rural Area, agencies reporting,
including those submitting less than 12 months,
represent 47,872 burglary arrests and 84.2% of
the total rural population. The rural burglary
arrest total is estimated to be:

APPENDIX II
OFFENSES IN UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING
Offenses in Uniform Crime Reporting are divided into
two groupings designated as Part I and Part II crimes.
Information on the number of Part I offenses known to
law enforcement, the number cleared by arrest or excep-
tional means, and the number of persons arrested is
reported monthly. Arrest data are reported for Part I and
Part II offenses.
The Part I offenses are as follows:
1. Criminal homicide. — a. Murder and nonnegligent
manslaughter: the willful (nonnegligent) killing of one
human being by another. Deaths caused by negligence,
attempts to kill, assaults to kill, suicides, accidental deaths,
and justifiable homicides are excluded. Justifiable homi-
cides are limited to: (1) the killing of a felon by a law
enforcement officer in the line of duty; and (2) the killing
of a felon by a private citizen, b. Manslaughter by
negligence: the killing of another person through gross
negligence. Excludes traffic fatalities. While manslaughter
by negligence is a Part I crime, it is not included in the
Crime Index.
2. Forcible rape. — The carnal knowledge of a
female forcibly and against her will. Included are rapes by
force and attempts or assaults to rape. Statutory offenses

APPENDIX III
UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING AREA DEFINITIONS
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area
The geographic presentation of Uniform Crime Report-
ing (UCR) data consistently relies on the concept of the
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA). Compre-
hension of this term is crucial to understanding the related
UCR concepts of "Other Cities" and "Rural Area" to be
discussed later in this appendix.
An SMSA is a statistical construct used to define
metropolitan areas in a uniform manner. It is an integrated
economic and social unit with a recognized large popula-
tion nucleus. The SMSA concept was developed to
facilitate the analysis and dissemination of statistical
information on metropolitan areas. The primary objective
in establishing standard definitions of these areas was to
make it possible for Federal statistical agencies to utilize
the same boundaries when publishing statistical data.
An SMSA always includes a central city (cities) of
specified population (generally over 50,000) and the
county (counties) in which it is located. In addition, an
SMSA also includes contiguous counties when the eco-
nomic and social relationship between the central and
contiguous counties meet specified criteria of metropoli-
tan character and integration. An SMSA may cross state
lines. In New England, SMSAs are composed of cities and
towns instead of counties.
The Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards
of the U. S. Department of Commerce has responsibility
for designating and defining SMSAs. It in turn is advised
by the Federal Committee on Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas. The detailed criteria followed in estab-
lishing and defining SMSAs can be found in the U. S.
Department of Commerce publication. Standard Metropol-
itan Statistical Areas, revised edition 1975.
Community Types
Uniform Crime Reporting data are often presented
using three community type aggregations. These are
SMSA, Other Cities, and Rural Area.
SMSAs as used in this publication made up approxi-
mately 73 percent of the total United States' population in
1979. A suburban area includes cities with less than 50,000
inhabitants in addition to counties (unincorporated areas)
within the SMSA. Suburban areas, therefore, can be
subdivided into suburban cities and suburban counties.
Other Cities are those outside SMSAs. Most of these
places are incorporated and comprised 12 percent of the
1979 population of the United States.
A Rural Area is that portion of a county outside the
SMSA excluding areas covered by city police agencies.
For crime reporting purposes, rural areas are made up of
unincorporated portions of counties outside urban places
and SMSAs. They comprised 15 percent of the 1979
national population.
The following diagram illustrates the aforementioned
discussion of the community types. '

'In New England, "town" instead of "county" is used to describe

reporting units; therefore, metropolitan state economic areas are used in
Population Groups
For purposes of statistical presentation, the cities and
counties in the United States are divided into groups based
on population size. The population group classifications
used by the UCR Program are as follows:
Political Population
Population Group Label Range
I City 250,000 and over
II City 100,000 to
249,999
III City 50,000 to 99,999
IV City 25,000 to 49,999
V City 10,000 to 24,999
VI City Less than 10,000
VIII (Rural Area) County N/A
IX (Suburban County) . . . County N/A
The major source of UCR data is the individual law
enforcement agency. The number of agencies included in
each population group will vary slightly from year to year
due to population growth, geopolitical consolidation,
tabulations for New England since they encompass an entire county or
counties.

APPENDIX IV
10-YEAR TRENDS IN CRIME, 1970-1979
This appendix graphically presents quarterly crime data
for the 10-year period, 1970-1979, and examines basic
crime trends. The approach taken herein supplements
percent-change comparisons for two 1-year periods and
yields a generalized perspective of the movement of
crime.
While a particular offense may possess a substantial
number of traits or attributes in common with other
crimes, each offense has its own unique patterns and
characteristics. Because of the emphasis on the individual-
ity of each crime in the appendix, no higher level of
aggregation was introduced.
Quarterly crime rates for each Index offense were
computed for the period 1970-1979, utilizing data from
agencies having submitted all 12 months of crime reports
and the corresponding agency jurisdictional populations.
Statistics on arson are not included in the appendix since
the collection of data on this crime did not commence
until April of 1979. Population figures were not adjusted
to account for possible quarterly changes.
The first quarter of 1970 was selected as the base period
and the quarterly crime rate corresponding to that period
was equated to 100. The "relative" quarterly crime rates
resulting from the standardization process are presented in
both graphic and tabular form.
In order to eliminate the effect of seasonal fluctuations,
4-quarter moving averages were computed for each Index
crime. The results of these computations are presented in
both graphic and tabular form. On the graphs, the moving
average curves are depicted as smooth dotted lines that
pass through the quarterly data.
Murder Trend
During the 10-year period, 1970-1979, the relative
crime rates for murder fluctuated between 100 and 153.
Although seasonality was not pronounced, murder consis-
tently peaked in the second half of the year throughout
the 10-year period under consideration. Yearly highs
occurred in the fourth quarter for 5 of the 10 years,
occurred jointly in the third and fourth quarters for 3
years, and occurred in the third quarter for 2 years.
Overall, there was a gradual increase in murder from 1970
to 1974, followed by a slight decline during 1975 and
1976. A gradual upward trend commenced in 1977 and
continued through 1979. It is anticipated that this upward
movement will continue into 1980.

Forcible Rape Trend
Between 1970 and 1979, the relative crime rate for
forcible rape ranged from 100 to 221. The low occurred in
the first quarter of 1970, while the high was reached in the
third quarter of 1979. Forcible rape invariably peaked in
the summer months and was lowest in the winter months
of the year. As can be seen from the accompanying chart,
quarterly forcible rape rates are distinguished by undula-
tions with pointed peaks and troughs.
The moving average indicated (except for a slight
decline during 1975 and 1976) a steady increase between
1970 and 1979. Further, forcible rape showed the highest
increase among all Crime Index offenses during the past
decade. The trend has shown no sign of mitigating.

Robbery Trend
From 1970 to 1979, the relative crime rate for robbery
varied between 91 and 152. The high was reached in the
fourth quarter of 1974, while the low occurred in the
second quarter of 1978. Although seasonality was general-
ly mild, robbery consistently peaked in the fourth quarter
and bottomed out in the second quarter of the year. It will
be noted that the configuration of quarterly robbery rates
is generally characterized by single peaks and troughs.
According to the moving average figures, there was a
period of relative stability between 1970 and 1973. The
robbery trend began to increase toward the end of 1973
and continued to rise until the close of 1974. This upward
movement was followed by a steady decline between 1975
and 1977, which gave way to an upward trend that lasted
into 1979. This latter trend increase, however, has not yet
reached the peak experienced in 1974.

Aggravated Assault Trend
During the decade, 1970 to 1979, the relative crime rate
for aggravated assault oscillated between 100 and 201.
The rate was lowest in the first quarter of 1970 and
reached a peak in the third quarter of 1979. Aggravated
assault was consistently highest in the third quarter and
lowest in the first quarter of each year. A review of the
accompanying graph shows that undulations for quarterly
aggravated assault rates were marked by single peaks and
troughs.
The moving average trend generally displayed a steady
upward movement, commencing in the first quarter of
1970 and continuing through the end of 1979. This steady
increase shows no signs of abating.

Burglary Trend
The relative crime rate for burglary fluctuated between
99 and 148. Burglary peaked in the second half of each
year throughout the entire decade under study. In
reviewing the graph, it will be observed that the burglary
trend data were generally characterized by dual peaks and
troughs.
The moving average curve began to rise in 1973. This
uptrend lasted until the end of 1974, at which time the
data began to show a decline. This decrease continued
until the end of 1976, after which the curve remained
relatively stable.

Larceny-theft Trend
Larceny-theft relative crime rates fluctuated between
92 and 160 during the years 1970 to 1979. The low
occurred in the first quarter of 1973, while the high was
reached in the third quarters of 1975 and 1979. Larceny-
theft consistently peaked in the third quarter of each year
and bottomed out in the first quarter of all years but 1976,
when the annual low occurred in the fourth quarter.
Generally, the configuration of quarterly larceny-theft
rates was characterized by singular peaks and troughs.
The moving average curve for larceny-theft began to
rise at the start of 1973 and continued its ascent until early
1976. Subsequently, a 2-year decline was experienced, but
a rise again ensued, commencing in 1978 and continuing
into 1979.

Motor Vehicle Theft Trend
The relative crime rates for motor vehicle theft fluctu-
ated between 84 and 1 12, the lowest range of variation of
any Index offense during the 10-year period under study.
The low was reached in the first quarter of 1978, while the
peak was reached in the fourth quarter of 1970 and the
third quarter of 1971. Generally, motor vehicle theft
peaked in the third quarter of each year. Only in 1970,
when the relative crime rate peaked in the fourth quarter.
was this not the case. The low for motor vehicle theft
consistently occurred in the first quarter of the year. It
will be noted from a review of the graph that the relative
crime rate data are characterized by dual peaks and single
troughs, a departure from the types of configurations
distinguishing the other Index crimes.
The moving average trend was generally stable
throughout most of the decade under review.
