Using as a basis an index of seven crimes likely to be reported, the law enforcement community has endeavored to create a set of statistics valuable to those with an interest in the crime problem. The FBI, through the Attorney General, was designated to administer the Uniform Crime Reporting Program in 1930 by the United States Congress. During the many intervening years, we have taken great pains to fulfill our responsibility by annually providing a comprehensive reference work which reliably reflects the Nation's crime experience. Accomplishing this charge has been made possible by the cooperation of law enforcement agencies across the country. Their unflagging desire to rid the Nation of crime is evidenced by their continuing active participation in this effort. Since we in the policing profession know that without the constant support of the American public our goal is unattainable, we provide the information contained in this edition to keep our constituency informed and to expand our own knowledge so that we might develop more effective means of deterring crime and most efficiently perform our duties. Crime in the United States — 1977 reflects the work efforts of many state- level Uniform Crime Reporting Programs. In recent years, the law enforce- ment conmiunity recognized the need to address crime problems germane to the respective states, and in response, the Law Enforcement Assistance Ad- ministration lent initial financial aid and the FBI jirovided technical support to interested states. Presently, there are 4.3 state-level agencies serving law enforcement by way of training, recordkeeping assistance, and publication of state-related crime data. The existence of these services has benefited law enforcement and strengthened the utility of this document. IaTUU^ /^lyUiIt^~-^ William H. Webster Director Crime Factors The presence of crime in our Nation's communities is a serious concern not only of the law enforcement profession, but of 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 of 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. Popu- lation 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 data presented. The reader is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual communities solely on the basis of their population size.

Its fundamental objective is to produce a reliable set of criminal statistics for use in law enforcement administration, opera- tion, and management. Additionally, the data are intended for the use and information of other criminal justice professionals, legislators, and scholars who have an interest in the crime problem. The information also provides the public with an important indicator of the level of criminality in our society. ». Historical Background This voluntary national Program of collecting crime counts was initiated in 1930 by the Com- mittee on Uniform Crime Records of the Inter- national Association of Chiefs of Police (lACP). During that same year, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was authorized by the Con- gress of the United States to serve as the national clearinghouse for crime-related statistical infor- mation. Since that time, data have been obtained from law enforcement agencies throughout the Nation based on unifoim classifications and pro- cedures of reporting. In an effort to provide as complete a picture of crime in the United States as possible, the Com- mittee on Uniform Crime Records of the lACP chose to obtain data on offenses that became kno^\•n to police, since greater numbers of these data were available than in any other category of reportable crime information. A meaningful over- view of crime was available through examination of seven offenses which were selected because of their seriousness, frequency of occurrence, and likeli- hood of being reported to police. These offenses, known as the Crime Index offenses, are murder and nonnegligenl manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny- theft, and motor vehicle theft. To provide nationwide uniformity in the reporting of data, standardized definitions were adopted for all offenses. This standardization was necessary to overcome the variations in definitions of criminal offenses throughout the country. 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 the variance in punish- ment for the same oft'enses in difl'erent state codes, there is no possibility in a program such as this to distinguish between felony or misdemeanor crimes. The Committee on Uniform Crime Records, lACP, continues to serve in an advisory capacity to the FBI concerning the operation of this Pro- gram. In this connection, the lACP plays an active and effective part in quality control through sur- veys of police records and crime reporting systems. Additionally, the Program employs professional statisticians whose responsibilities include re- search, development, and implementation of logical procedures for Program enhancement. The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) in June 1966 established a Committee on Uniform Crime Reportmg to serve in an advisory capacity to the NSA membership and the national UCR Program. This Committee actively encourages sheriffs throughout the country to fully participate in the UCR Program. Committees on Uniform Crime Reporting within state law enforcement associations are active in promoting interest in the UCR Program, fostering widespread and more intelligent use of uniform crime statistics, and lending assistance to contributors when the need exists. Methods of Data Collection Contributing agencies to the UCR Program are responsible for compiling and submitting their crime data in one of two means, either directly to the FBI or through their state Programs. Those which submit directlj^ to the FBI are pro- vided, on an individual basis, continuing guidance and support from the national Program. Presently, 43 states have operational UCR Programs and others are in various stages of developing such data collection efforts. These state UCR Programs provide the advantages of increased coverage of law enforcement agencies due to state mandatory reporting requirements; the provision of more direct and frequent service to law enforcement agencies in assuring complete- ness and quality of information provided by them; and through coordination by the state data col- lection agency, more readily available information for use at the state level. Also, the collection and reporting machinery for the national Program is substantially streamlined. 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 agency. The conditions under which these systems are developed provide consistency and comparability in the data submitted to the national Program. They also permit regular and timely reporting of the national crime data. These conditions are: (1) The state Program must conform to the national Uniform Crime Reports standards, defi- nitions, and information required. These require- ments, of course, do not prohibit the state from collecting other statistical data beyond the na- tional 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 funiish to the FBI all of the detailed data regularly collected by the P'BI in the form of duplicate returns, computer printouts, and/or magnetic tapes. (6) The state must have the proven capabil- ity (tested over a period of time) to supply all the statistical data required in time to meet national Uniform Crime Reports' j)ublication deadlines. To fulfill its responsibilities in connection with (he UCR Program efforts, the FBI continues its internal procedures of editing and reviewing in- dividual agency reports for both completeness and quality; has direct contact with individual con- tributors within the state when necessary in con- nection with crime reporting matters, coordinating such contact with the state agency; and upon request, conducts training programs within the state with respect to police records and crime reporting procedures. These training sessions are coordinated with the state agency. Should circum- stances 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 On a monthly basis, law enforcement agencies (police, sheriffs, and state police) report the num- ber of offenses that become known to them in the following crime categories: murder and normegli- gent manslaughter, manslaughter by negligence, forcible rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny- theft, and motor vehicle theft. A count of these crimes, which are known as Part I offenses, is taken from records of all complaints of crime re- ceived by la^ enforcement agencies from victims or other sources and/or from officers who dis- covered the infractions. Whenever complaints of crime are determined through investigation to be unfounded or false, they are eliminated from the actual count. The number of "actual offenses known" in Part I is reported to the FBI whether or not anyone is arrested for the crime, the stolen property is re- covered, or prosecution is undertaken. Each month law enforcement agencies report the total number of these crimes cleared. Crimes are "cleared" in one of two ways: (1) at least one person is arrested, charged, and turned over to the court for prose- cution; or (2) by exceptional means when some element beyond police control precludes the physi- cal arrest of an offender. The number of clearances which involved only the arrest of 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 homi- cide are also reported. Arrest data are reported monthly for both Part I and Part II offenses, by crime category, and include the age, sex, and race of persons arrested. Part II offenses, while excluding traffic violations, include all other crimes except those classified as Part I. The Tuiinbor of law eiiforceinont ofliccrs as- ;aulteil or killed by ty|)e of duty assitrnincnt, tyj)e jf weapon used, the circumstances of the assault, md whether the victim ofiicer sustained injury are •ollectetl monthly. Other law enforcement em- ployee data, sjiecifically the number of full-time ;worn officers and other personnel, are reported IS of October 151 of each calendar year. ■difing Procedures Data reliability is a matter of hi<:;h priority to he UCR Program. Each incoming report is ex- imined not only for arithmetical accuracy but dso, as a possible indication of error, for deviations rom the experiences of similar agencies. Variations in reported crime levels and ratios as istablished by previous reports may indicate pos- ible incompleteness in reporting or changes in eporting procedures. Necessary arithmetical ad- ustments or unusual variations are brought to he attention of the submitting agency through orrespondence. Correspondence with individ\ial ontributors and state UCR Programs is the )riiicipal mode of quality control. Not only are ndividual reports studied, but also, periodic rends for individual reporting units are prepared ind evaluated. As a standard procedure, crime evels for each reporting agency are analyzed five imes a year by the FBI. Any significant increase If decrease is made the subject of a special inquiry o the contributing agency. The communications ontaining these inquiries specifically direct atten- ion to possible changes in records or reporting irocedures. When it is found that crime reporting procedures are in part responsible for the dif- erence in the level of crime, the figures for specific Time categories, or if necessaiy, totals are e.x- ;luded from the trend tabulations. Variations from reporting standards which annot be resolved may be brought to the atten- ion of the Committee on Uniform Crime Records if the lACP. In turn, the Committee may desig- late a representative to make a personal visit ind cooperatively assist the agency in authenticat- ng records and reporting methods. Regardless of the extent of the statistical editing >rocesses used by the FBI, the accuracy of the lata asscnd)lcd under this Program depends pri- narily on the adherence of each contributor to the stablished standards of reporting. For this reason, he FBI is not in a position to vouch for the valid- ly of individual agency reports. Although the final responsibility for crime leports rests with individual law enforcement agencies, the FBI endeavors to maintain data validity not only through its editing practices, but also, by providing training seminars and in- structional materials in UCR procedures. All contributing agencies are supplied with the Uni- form Clime Bejyorting Handbook which outlines, in detail, procedures for classifying and scoring offenses. The Handbook illustrates and discusses the monthly and annual reporting forms, as well as the tally forms which facilitate the periodic tabulation of data. In addition, the FBI conducts UCR seminars and workshops throughout the country for law enforcement personnel. FBI and state UCR Pro- gram personnel are utilized to enlist the coopera- tion of new contributors and to explain the pur- pose of the Program and methods of assembling information for reporting. When reporting prob- lems exist in the individual agencies and remedial efforts are unsuccessful, FBI Headquarters' person- nel may visit the contributor to aid in resolving the problems. Since a good record system is essential for accurate crime reporting, the FBI makes avail- able, upon request by any law enforcement agency, the Manual of Police Records, which can serve as a guide in the establishment of a sound police record system. Also, to enhance communication among Pro- gram participants, the publication, the UCR "Newsletter," is utilized to explain revisions in the Program, as well as present information and instructional material. Reporting Area The presentation of crime data by reporting areas is one method of analyzing the statistics submitted to the FBI. Nationwide, the United States is divisible by regions and geographic divi- sions. Further breakdowns by city size rely on population figures and proximity to metropolitan areas. The UCR Program follows as closely as prac- tical the definitions used by the Office of Manage- ment and Budget and the Bureau of the Census for geographical entities. A Standard Metroi)olitan Statistical Area (SMSA), generally, is made up of a core city or cities with a combined population of 50,000 or more inhabitants and the surrounding county or counties which share certain metro- politan characteristics. In New England, "town" instead of "county" is used to describe SMSAs. These towns do not coincide generally with estab- lished reporting units; therefore, metropolitan state economic areas in New England are used in these areas' tabulations since they encompass an entire county or counties. SMSAs, as used in this publication, made up approximately 73 percent of the total United States' population in 1977. "Other cities" are those outside SMSAs. Most of these places are incorporated and comprised 12 percent of the 1977 population. For crime re- porting purposes, rural areas are made up of the unincorporated portions of counties outside urban places and SMSAs and represented 15 per- cent of the national population. As a general rule, sheriffs, county police, and many state police report on crimes committed within the limits of the counties but outside cities, while local police report on crimes committed within the city limits (urban places). Additionally, certain tables within this publica- tion present statistics relative to "suburban" areas. A suburban area consists of cities with populations less than 50,000 together with coun- ties 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 these communities surrounding the major core cities. As of 1977, 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 92 percent of the rural population. When considering the national population, as estimated by the Bureau of the Census, the com- bined coverage accounted for 98 percent of the total. Regionally, the United States is divided into four areas: the Northeastern States, composed of the New England and Middle Atlantic Divisions; the North Central States, which include the East North Central and West North Central Divisions; the Southern States, made up of the South Atlan- tic, East South Central, and West South Central Divisions; and the Western States, comprised of the Mountain and Pacific Divisions. The Crime Totals Communities which do not submit crime reports to the UCR Program represent a relatively small percent of the total population. In each of the tabular presentations in this publication, the extent of population coverage represented by the data included is shoAvn. The FBI conducts an ongoing program to further increase the reporting areas. Population Data In computing crime rates by state, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, geographic division and region, and the Nation, population estimates released by the Bureau of the Census on July 1, 1977, were used. Population estimates for individ- ual cities and counties were prepared using special census reports, state sources and estimates, com- mercial sources, and interpolation where no other estimate was available. The estimated United States' population increase in 1977 was 1 percent over 1976. Offense Estimation It is possible that a law enforcement agency would submit fewer than the solicited 12 months | of offense reports. Tables one through five of this publication represent total crime in the United States; therefore, offense counts here are esti- mated for agencies which fail to submit complete i reports for the year. Offense estimation occurs within each of three areas: Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, other cities, and rural areas. It is assumed that the unreported portion of these areas has the same proportionate crime experience as that for which reports were received. Estimates for unreported areas are based on the reported crime experience of similar areas within a state. Crime Trends A further means of studying crime throughout the Nation is to establish 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 consideration are in- cluded. National, geographic, and area trends are computed for 2 consecutive years. Exclusions from trend computations are made when figures from a reporting unit are obviously inaccurate for any period or when it is ascertained that unusual fluctuations are due to such variables as improved records procedures. The current year's reporting is the most com- plete in terms of volume. Therefore, valid 2-year trends in Uniform Crime Reports may be used to reasonably establish long-term trends. In addi- tion, these year-to-year trends arc applied as the basis for reestimating the vohimc 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 comparisons with prior issues. Changes in the crime level may have been due in part to im- proved reporting or records procedures, redefini- tion of reporting areas, or other variables. Recent Developments During tlie third national Conference of State Uniform Crime Reporting Programs, held in 1977, the Uniform Crime Records Committee of the lACP and the Committee of Uniform Crime Reporting of the NSA, in a joint meeting, adopted a resolution to discontinue the collection of dis- position data on persons charged. Therefore, collection of this information was suspended following the 1977 submission, and disposition data like that contained in this publication will not appear in subsequent editions. The membership of the lACP and NSA Com- mittees concluded that the existing collection of disposition data was inadequate and recommended a study be instituted to develop a more complete and efficient manner for the solicitation of dispo- sition information. Their resolution, however, did not preclude the continued collection of these data by any agency wishing to do so. Some individual state UCR Programs have opted to continue this collection on a state-wide basis. Due to new Federal standards concerning statistics collected on race and ethnicity, plans are underway for the revision of the Age, Sex and Race of Persons Arrested form effective January 1, 1980. To conform with the newly established categories, the proposed modifications to the form include: the restructuring of the racial groups for which data are solicited to encompass Whites, Blacks, American Indians or Alaskan Natives, and Asian or Pacific Islanders; and the addition of a collection of ethnic origin to indicate Hispanic or not Hispanic. These changes are currently in the planning stages, and of course, the comments of interested parties will be obtained prior to their final imple- mentation.

Being the most afffrreKnte representation of UOR data, it is designed to convey the annual reported crime experience hy sliowing tlie 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. MURDER AND NONNEGLIGENT MANSLAUGHTER -DEFINITION- 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 peace officers in the line of duty, or by private citizens; or attempts to murder or assaults to murder, which are scored as aggravated assaults. -TREND- Year Number of offenses 1976 18,780 1977 19,120 Percent change +1. 8 Rate per 100,000 inhabitants 8.8 8.8 -FEATURES- Most frequent month December Most frequent weapon Firearm Most frequent victim : Age group 20-24 Sex Male Most frequent arrestee : Age group 18-22 Sex Male Volume In 1977, there were an estimated 19,120 murders in the United States, which accounted for approxi- mately 2 percent of the total violent crimes. A geographic breakdown of murder by region revealed that 41 percent of the murders occurred in the Southern States; 22 percent in the North Central States; 19 percent in the Western States; and 18 percent in the Northeastern States. During 1977, December had the highest fre- quency of murder offenses as compared to any other month of the year. JAN. FEB. MAR. APR. MAY lUNE HIIY AUfi. SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC. Trend Nationally, the number of murders increased 2 percent from 1976 to 1977. Kegionally, the number of murder offenses in 1977 increased 11 percent in the Western States and 1 percent in the Southern States. Decreases of 2 percent were reported in both the Northeastern and North Central States. Large core cities of 250,000 or more inhabitants had a 1-percent increase in the number of murders in 1977, while the suburban and rural areas ex- perienced increases of 1 and 2 percent, respectively. The following chart reveals a decrease of 3 per- cent from 1973 to 1977 in the murder counts. Rate In 1977, as in 1976, there were an average of 8.8 murder victims for every 100,000 inhabitants in the Nation. The number of murder victims in proportion to population was highest in the Southern States with 11.3 murders per 100,000 inhabitants. Although the Southern States' rate showed no change over 1976 figures, the Western States' rate of 9.3 per 100,000 represented a 9-percent increase over the prior year. The North Central States had a 1977 murder rate of 7.2, a decrease of 3 percent from 1976; and the Northeastern States experi- enced a 6.9 murder rate, or a 1-percent decrease from the 1976 experience. The metropolitan areas reported a murder rate of 9.7 victims per 100,000 inhabitants; the rural areas a rate of 7.8 per 100,000 inhabitants; and cities outside metropolitan areas reported a murder rate of 5.0 per 100,000 inhabitants. Nature Participating law enforcement agencies pro- vided supplemental information regarding homi- cide which enabled the Uniform Crime Reporting Program to conduct a more in-depth analysis of this offense. Additional data were collected con- cerning the age, sex, and race of the victim and offender; the weapon used in the murder; the circumstances surrounding the offense; and the relationship between the victim and offender. The victims of murder in 1977 were male in approximately 3 out of 4 instances — a ratio which has been similar in recent years. An average of 53 out of 100 murder victims were white, 45 were Negro, and 2 were other races. During 1977, 15,176 offenders were identified in connection with the murders of 13,531 victims. Of these victims, 11,308 were killed in situations in- volving a single victim and a single offender; 1,290 in single victim/multiple offender situations; 771 in those involving multiple victims and a single offender; and 162 in multiple victim/multiple offender situations. In 1977, firearms again predominated as the weapon most often used in the commission of murders throughout the Nation. The accom- panying chart illustrates a breakdown by type of weapon used in murder offenses in the United States. In the Southern States, firearms were used in 69 percent of the murders; in the North Central States, 66 percent; in the Western States, 56 percent; and in the Northeastern States, 51 percent. Nationwide, 63 percent of the murders were committed through the use of firearms. In 48 percent of the murders a handgun was the weapon used. 8 Victim/Offender Relationship hy Sex and Race, 7977 Total victims Total oflendere Offender Victim Sex Race Male Female Un- known White Negro Other Single Victim/Single Offender: tfei: Male 8,565 2,740 3 5,359 5,734 215 11.308 8,565 2,740 3 5,359 5,734 215 11,308 6,783 2,447 2 4,615 4,423 194 9,232 1,780 293 1 742 1,311 21 2,074 2 3,671 1,393 2 4,755 250 61 5,066 4,735 1,265 1 518 5,466 17 6,001 159 82 Female Unknown _ Kace: White.__ 2 86 18 Negro - - _ Other.- 137 Total 2 241 Single Victim/Multiple Offenders: Sei: Male 1,103 187 825 443 22 1,290 2,714 433 2,057 1,032 5S 3,147 2,451 359 1,836 922 52 2,810 255 72 216 105 6 327 8 2 5 5 1,414 225 1,518 104 17 1,639 1,231 196 493 920 14 1,427 69 12 Female .__ Race: White...

Cutting or stabbing instruments were used in 19 percent of the murders in the Nation. The Northeastern States, where 1 of 4 murders was committed with a knife or cutting weapon, reported the most widespread use of such weapons. In 1 of 5 murders in the Western States these types of weapons were employed, while the North Central and Southern States had the least inci- dence of use of such weapons, 1 of every 6 murders. Nationwide, other weapons such as blunt objects, poisons, explosives, arson, drown- ing, etc., were used in 13 percent of the murders. In the remaining 6 percent, personal weapons such as hands, fists, and feet were used. A comparative study for the past 5 years showed a decrease from 67 percent of all murders through use of firearms in 1973, to 63 percent of all murders in 1977. A comparative analysis of weapons used to commit murder for 1973 through 1977 is shown in tabular form. The activities resulting in murder varied from arguments to felonies. That murder is largely a societal problem beyond the control of law enforcement is emphasized by the relationship of the murder victim to the offender. - In 1977, 19 percent of the murder victims were related to the offenders, and 40 percent were otherwise acquainted. During the year, 7 per- cent of the murders resulted from drunken argu- ments, 5 percent from arguments over money 9 MURDER BY TYPE OF WEAPON USED 1977 HANDGUN RIFLE SHOTGUN CUTTING OR STABBING OTHER WEAPON (CLUB, POISON, etc ) PERSONAL WEAPON (HANDS, FISTS.

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 crimes of violence. When viewed geographically, the Southern States re- corded 33 percent of the total volume; the Western States reported 27 percent; the North Central States 23 percent; and the Northeastern States 18 percent of the forcible rapes. The following chart indicates that more rapes occur in the summer months of the year. IAN. FEB. MAR. APR. MAY JUNE lULY AUG. SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC, Trend The volume of forcible rape offenses in 1977 increased 11 percent over 1976 and 23 percent over 1973. During 1977, 40 percent of the forcible rapes occurred in cities with 250,000 or more inhabitants. A 10-percent increase over the pre- vious year was seen in both this group and in the suburban areas surrounding the large core cities. The rural areas registered a 9-percent increase over 1976. Geographically, all regions indicated upswings in the volume of forcible rape offenses. The Western and Southern States reported in- creases of 13 percent, followed by the North- eastern States with 11 percent, and the North Central States with 6 percent. Rate A crime rate, in its proper perspective, is a victim risk rate since it equates the number of crimes i)er unit of population. In 1977, 57 out of every 100,000 females in this country were re- ported rape victims, a 10-percent rate increase over 1976. Since 1973, the forcible rai)e rate has increased 19 percent. The metropolitan areas experienced a risk rate of 68 victims j)cr 100,000 females. Cities outside metropolitan areas experienced a risk rate of 28 per 100,000 females and the rural areas followed closely with 27 per 100,000 females. Geographi- cally, the Western States reported females were rape victims at the rate of 84 per 100,000. In the South this rate was 57 per 100,000; 48 per 100,000 in the North Central States; and 44 per 100,000 in the Northeast. Nature In 1977, 74 percent of all reported offenses in this category were rapes by force. The remainder were attempts or assaults to commit forcible rape. Of all the Crime Index offenses, forcible rape, a violent crime against the person, has been recog- nized by law enforcement as one of the most under- reported crimes. This phenomenon is due primarily to the victims' fear of their assailants and their sense of embarrassment over the incident. Clearances Of the total forcible rapes reported in 1977 to law enforcement, 51 percenj. were cleared by arrest or exceptional means. The large cities with 250,000 or more people reported a 51 -percent clearance rate; the suburban areas of the country indicated a 52-percent clearance rate; and the rural areas obtained clearances in 69 percent of the rapes which occurred in their area. Of the total clear- ances for forcible rape, 10 percent involved solely persons under the age of 18. Persons Arrested Total 1977 arrests for forcible rape increased 4 percent over 1976 and 10 percent over 1973. During the year, 56 percent of the arrests for this offense were of males under the age of 25, and 30 percent of the arrestees were in the 18- to 22-year- old age group. Fifty i)ercent of the persons arrested for forcible rape in 1977 were white, 47 percent Negro, and all other races comprised the re- mainder. Arrests of persons under 18 years of age decreased 4 percent over 1973. Persons Charged Of all adults arrested for forcible rape in 1977, 65 percent were prosecuted for this offense. Acquittals 14 and/or dismissals resulted in 40 percent of these percent were convicted of lesser offenses. Juvenile cases. Forty-seven percent of the adults prosecuted referrals amounted to 23 percent of the persons were fouml guilty of the substantive offense, and 13 processed on forcible rape charges in 1977. 15 ROBBERY -DEFINITION- Robbery is the taking or attempting to take anything of vahie from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear. -TREND- Year Number of offenses 1976 420,210 1977 m,860 Percent change — 3.7 Rale -per 100,000 inhabitants 195.8 187.1 -4.4 -FEATURES- Most frequent month December Most frequent weapon Firearm Most frequent arrestee : Age group 16-20 Sex Male I 16 Volume In 1977, there were an estiinated 404,850 rob- beries in tlie Uniteil States, amounting to 4 percent of the total Crime Index and 40 percent of the crimes of violence.

ROBBE/tY BY MONTH Vaftalton From Annual Avaraga MAR. APR. MAY JUNE lUlY AUG. SETT. OCT. NOV. KC. Trend The 1977 robbery volume decreased 4 percent from the previous year. This decline is contrary to the 5-percent increase experienced in total rob- beries during the period 1973-1977. In 1977, large cities with populations over 250,000 experienced a 7-percent decrease in rob- beiy offenses when compared to the 1976 volume. On the other hand, the suburban areas reported a 2-percent increase and the rural areas a 1-percent increase in the number of robbery offenses. Geographically, the Western States experienced a 5-percent increase in robberies between 1976 and 1977, followed by the Southern States with a 2- percent increase. However, the Northeastern States and the North Central States reported decreases of 10 percent and 7 percent, respectively. The accompanying chart depicts the trend in the volume of robbery, as well as the robbery rate, 1973-1977. ROBBERY NUMBER OF OFFENSES UP 5% RATE PER 100.000 INHABITANTS UP 2 % ^^„^ "■""^sss....^ ^^^t**"'^^ "- "" — /?afe The 1977 rate of 187 robberies per 100,000 iidiahitants was 4 percent below the 1976 rate. Robbery is primarily a large-city crime with 7 out of 10, or a rate of 487 robberies per 100,000 inhabitants, occurring in these cities with popu- lations over 100,000. There were 244 robberies per 100,000 inhabitants in the metropolitan areas during 1977. The cities outside metropolitan areas experienced a rate of 48 robbery offenses per 100,000 people. In the rural areas, the robbery rate was 21 per 100,000 inhabitants. Regionally, robbery occurred most frequently in the Northeastern States where the rate was 261 per 100,000 inhabitants. The rate per 100,000 inhabitants for the Western States was 214; the North Central States, 163; and the Southern States, 140. Haiute Supplemental robbery information obtained in 1977 from law enforcement agencies disclosed that nearly half of the robberies were committed on the street. Nationally, there were 3,983 bank robberies in 1977, with an average loss of $4,858. As has been previously stated in past volumes of this publication, the full impact of this violent crime on the victim cannot be completely measured in terras of dollar loss alone. While the object of the attack is money or property, many victims of this offense suffer serious personal injury. During 1977, the average value loss in each robbery incident was $377 for a total reported loss of $153 million. The 1973-1977 trends in robbery by type, as illustrated in the following charts, show bank robberies have increased 90 percent.

Persons Arrested Nationally, arrests for robbery decreased 3 percent in 1977 when compared to 1976. Arrests in cities decreased 5 percent, and in rural areas 1 percent, while the suburban areas experienced a 3-percent increase. Data on arrests disclosed that 74 percent of the persons arrested for robbery were under 25 years of age and 55 percent were under 21 years of age. Of all persons arrested for robbery in 1977, 32 percent were under the age of 18, a 2-percent decrease from 1976.

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. -TREND- Year Number of offe7ises 1976 490,850 igyy 522,510 Percent change +6.4 Rale per 100,000 inhabitants ?.7 241.5 + 5.6 FEATURES " Most frequent month Ju'y Most frequent weapons Blunt objects and hands, fists, feet Most frequent arrestee: 1 S— 22 Age group '° Sex Male 20 Volume In calendar year 1977, there were an estimated 522,510 aj2:e;ravatod assaults in the Nation.

Refjionally, the Southern States reported 36 percent of the total count of these crimes. The Western Stat«s followed with 23 percent; the Northeastern States with 21 percent; and the North Central States with 20 percent. As has been the experience in previous years, the highest frequency of aggra- vated assault during 1977 occurred in the summer months. I«N. rEB. MAR. APR. MAV JUNE JULY AUG. SEPT. OCT. NOV. DEC. Trend The volume of aggravated assaults increased 6 percent between 1976 and 1977, and 24 percent since 1973. Cities with over 250,000 inhabitants recorded a rise of 2 percent over the last year, while the suburban and rural areas reported 7- and 1 -percent increases, respectively, during the same period. An increase was also seen in the volume of aggravated assaults in each geographic region. The Southern States rose 9 percent; the Western States increased 7 percent; the Northeastern States showed a 5-percent increase; and the North Central States had an increase of 2 percent. Rate During 1977, there were 242 victims of aggra- vated assault per 100,000 inhabitants in the United States. Metropolitan areas had an aggravated assault rate of 271 per 100,000 inhabitants; cities outside metropolitan areas had a victim rate of 200 per 100,000 inhabitants; and the rate for rural areas was 130 per 100,000 inhabitants. Nation- wide, the victim rate for aggravated assault in- creased 6 percent over 1976 and 20 percent over 1973. Of the four geographic regions, the Western States had the highest rate, 310 per 100,000, followed by the Southern States with 271; the Northeastern States with 220; and the North Central States with 179. Nature In 1977, 23 percent of the serious assaults were committed with the use of firearms, while knives or other cutting instruments were used in an additional 23 percent. Twenty-seven 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 1973 to 1977 revealed that the use of firearms as a weapon increased 12 percent; assaults with knives or other cutting instruments rose 17 percent; assaults where blunt objects or other dangerous weapons were used increased 49 percent; and those aggravated assaults com- mitted through use of personal weapons climbed 21 percent.

This relatively high solution rate was consistent with high clearance rates for other crimes against the person. Persons under 18 years 21 of age, exclusively, were identified in 10 percent of the aggravated assault clearances. Persons Arrested Arrests for aggravated assault, during the period 1973-1977, increased 13 percent. Since 1973, arrests of persons 18 years of age and over for aggravated assault have increased 12 percent, and arrests of persons under 18 years of age for this offense have increased 16 percent. As a group, persons 21 years of age and over accounted for 69 percent of the 1977 arrests for aggravated assault, and those under age 21 accounted for 31 percent. Arrests of males outnumbered females by a 7 to 1 ratio. Persons Charged Seventy-two out of every 100 adults arrested for aggravated assault in 1977 were prosecuted. Forty-nine percent of the adults prosecuted for aggravated assault were convicted for this offense; 14 percent were convicted of lesser charges; acquittals and dismissals accounted for 36 percent of the dispositions for all persons charged with this offense ; and 17 percent of all persons processed were referred to juvenile courts. 22 BURGLARY -DEFINITION- The Uniform Crime Reporting Program defines burglary as the un- lawful entiy of a structure to commit a felony or theft. The use of force to gain entry- is not required to classify an offense as burglary. Burglary in this Program is categorized into three subclassifications : forcible entrj', unlawful entry where no force is used, and attempted forcible entry. -TREND- Year Number of offenses 1976 3,089,800 1977 3,052,200 Percent change —1.2 Rale per 100,000 inhahilants l,h39.J, 1,410.9 -2.0 -FEATURES- Most frequent month August Most frequent arrestee: Age group 15-19 Sex Male 23 268-568 O - 78 ■ Volume There was an estimated total of 3,052,200 bur- glaries during 1977.

Burglary made up 28 percent of the total Crime Index offenses and was found to comprise 31 per- cent of the total property crimes. Geographically, the Southern States experienced 31 percent of all reported burglaries; the Western States, 25 per- cent; the Northeastern States, 23 percent; and the North Central States the remainder.

During the period of 1973-1977, this rate increased 15 per- cent. The metropolitan areas reported a rate of 1,609 burglaries per 100,000 people. Cities out- side metropolitan areas, called "Other Cities" in this publication, had a rate of 997 burglaries per 100,000, and the rural areas recorded a lower rate of 767 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants. The Western States recorded the highest bur- glary rate in 1977 with 1,933 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants, followed by the Northeastern States with a rate of 1,404; the Southern States 1,336; and the North Central States 1,154. Haiwe Seventy-three percent of the burglaries in 1977 involved forcible entry, 19 percent were unlawful entries (without force) , and 8 percent were forcible entry attempts. Residential offenses accounted for 65 percent of the total burglaries in 1977, and nonresidential burglaries made up the remaining 35 percent. While residential daytime occurrences declined 2 percent in 1977 from 1976, nonresidential bur- glaries for the same time period rose 3 percent. Nighttime burglaries declined in both categories during 1977, with residential offenses decreasing 3 percent and nonresidential down 16 percent. During the period 1973-1977, daytime residential burglaries increased 22 percent; daytime nonresi- dential burglaries rose 29 percent; and nighttime residential burglaries were up 15 percent. The remaining category, nonresidential nighttime bur- glaries, showed the only decrease, 3 percent. Economically, burglary represents a substantial financial loss. In 1977, burglary victims suffered losses totaling $1.4 billion. During this same year, residential losses amounted to $977 million, as compared to $955 million in 1976. Nonresidential losses cost victims $473 million in 1977 and $432 million in 1976. In 1977, the average dollar loss per burglary was $475. QleaTanzei In 1977, law enforcement was successful in clearing 16 percent of the total burglary offenses. Adults were involved in 67 percent of all cases cleared while only young persons under 18 years of age were involved in 33 percent. Law enforcement agencies in rural areas cleared 19 percent of the burglaries occurring within their jurisdictions in 1977, while those in the suburban areas recorded a clearance rate of 16 percent. Agencies in cities with over 250,000 inhabitants obtained clearances in 15 percent of these crimes.

Likewise, the arrest of several may clear only one offense. In the offense of burglary, it has been the experience of law enforcement that the arrest of one person frequently clears several reported offenses. Total arrests for burglary in 1977 de- creased by 2 percent from 1976. Arrests of persons under the age of 18 declined 1 percent, while arrests of persons aged 18 years and over decreased 3 percent. The cities and the suburban and rural areas each reported a decrease of 2 percent in the number of persons arrested. In analyzing the 1973-1977 period, a 15-percent increase in burglary arrests was seen. Arrests of individuals under the age of 18 increased 14 per- cent, while the arrests of adult burglary offenders increased 17 percent. Nationally, persons under 25 years of age ac- counted for 84 percent of all arrests for burglary in 1977, and 51 percent of all arrested for this crime were under the age of 18. An average of 6 of each 100 persons arrested for this crime during 1977 were female. Of the total burglary arrests, whites accounted for 69 percent and Negroes for 29 percent. Persons Charged In 1977, 73 percent of the adults arrested for burglary were prosecuted. Of the adults prose- cuted, 62 percent were found guilty as charged. Thirteen percent of those charged with burglary were convicted of a lesser offense, and the re- mainder were freed through acquittal or dismissal of the charges. Juveniles referred to a juvenile court jurisdiction accounted for 57 percent of the persons reported as being processed for burglary in 1977. 26 LARCENY-THEFT — DEFINITION — Larceny-theft is the unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property from the possession or constructive possession of an- other. 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 excluded from this category for crime reporting purposes inasmuch as it is a separate Crime Index offense. -TREND- Year Number of offenses 1976 6,270,800 1977 5,905,700 Percent change — 5.8 Rale per 100,000 inhabitants 2, 921. 3 2, 729. 9 -6.6 -FEATURES- Most frequent month August Most frequent arrestee: Age group 15-19 Sex Male 27 Volume In 1977, there was an estimated total of 5,905,700 offenses of larceny-theft. This high- volume offense made up 54 percent of the Crime Index total. When viewed monthly, the volume of larceny-theft was highest during August of 1977. Geographically, the volume of larceny-theft was highest in the Southern and North Central States, which reported 30 and 27 percent, respec- tively, followed by the Western States with 23 percent, and the Northeastern States with the remainder. Trend Larceny-theft decreased 6 percent in 1977 when compared to the previous year. The large cities with over 250,000 inhabitants reported a decrease of 8 percent in volume. The suburban and rural areas decreased 6 and 4 percent, respectively. Geographically, all regions reported declines in larceny-thefts. The North Central States reported a decrease of 8 percent; the Southern States, 6 percent; the Northeastern States, 5 percent; and the Western States, 4 percent. Nationwide, larceny-thefts have increased 36 percent since 1973. Rate During 1977, there were 2,730 larceny-thefts per 100,000 inhabitants, a decrease of 7 percent from the 1976 rate. The rate has increased 32 percent since 1973. The 1977 larceny-theft rate in 28 the metropolitan areas was 3,093 per 100,000 inhabitants; 2,718 per 100,000 inhabitants in cities outside metropolitan areas; and 954 in the rural areas. Viewed geographically, the Western States reported the highest 1977 larceny-theft rate with 3,521 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants, a 6-percent decrease from 1976. The North Central States had a rate of 2,708, down 8 percent; the Southern States 2,525, down 7 percent; and the North- eastern States, with a rate of 2,417, reported a decrease of 5 percent. Nature m The average value of property stolen in each- larceny-theft in 1977 was $192, up from $184 in 1976. When the average value was applied to tlie estimated number of larceny-thefts, the loss to victims nationally was $1.1 billion. Although a portion of the goods stolen is recovered and re- turned to victims, the relatively low percentage (20 percent) of larceny-theft clearances and the lack of o^^•ner identification on such property indicate that these recoveries did not materially reduce the overall loss. In addition, many offenses in this category, particularly where the value of the stolen goods is small, never come to police attention. In 1977, the average value of goods and property reported stolen by pickpockets was $124, by purse-snatchers $98 and by shoplifters $42. Addi- tionally, miscellaneous thefts from buildings and thefts from motor vehicles averaged $293 and $231, respectively. As in prior years, a large portion of these . offenses, 37 percent, was comprised of thefts^ of motor vehicle parts and accessories and other thefts from motor vehicles. Other major types of thefts which contributed to the large number of these crimes were those from buildings, with 16 percent, and stolen bicycles and shoplifting, with; 11 percent each. The remainder was distributed' among pocket-picking, purse-snatching, shoplift- ing, thefts from coin-operated machines, and other miscellaneous types of larceny-thefts.

Arrests of females for larceny-theft violations increased less than 1 percent in 1977, while arrests of males decreased 3 percent from the previous year. Arrests of whites outnumbered Negroes by more than 2 to 1 , with all other races comprising only about 2 percent of the arrests for larceny-theft. There was a 30-percent increase in the total volume of larceny-theft arrests during 1973-1977. Adult arrests rose 41 percent during this 5-year period, while those of persons under 18 years of age were up 17 percent.

The Northeastern States •eported a 3-percent decrease, while the North Central States showed no change from the prior /ear. The accompanying chart shows that the lumber of motor vehicle thefts has increased 4 Dercent since 1973. MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT — ^ NUMBER OF OFFENSES UP 4% RATE PER 100.000 INHABITANTS UPl % ~ .__ _ percent from 1976. Since 1973, the motor vehicle theft rate has risen only 1 percent. In 1977, 1,140 thefts per 100,000 inhabitants occurred in cities with i)opulations over one million. People in these cities were deprived of their motor vehicles more often than those in any other population group. Nationally, the motor vehicle theft rate in the metropolitan areas was 553 per 100,000 inhabi- tants. The cities outside metropolitan areas had a motor vehicle theft rate of 215, and the rural areas had the lowest rate, 118. Regionally, the Northeastern States had the highest motor vehicle theft rate, 626 per 100,000 inhabitants, a decrease of 3 percent from 1976. The Western States followed with 545, an in- crease of 2 percent; and the North Central States experienced a less than l-jiercent decrease from the prior year, or 401 thefts per 100,000 inhabitants. The Southern States' rate of 306 per 100,000 inhabitants represented a 5-percent increase. Nationwide, in 1977, an estimated average of 1 of every 143 registered motor vehicles was stolen. Regionally, this rate was the highest in the North- eastern States where 11 motor vehicles per 1,000 registered vehicles were stolen. In the other three regions the figures were 8 in the Western States, 6 in the North Central States, and 5 in the Southern States. Nature Motor vehicle theft rates again clearly indicated that this crime was primarily a large-city problem since the highest rates appeared in the most heavily populated municipalities of the Nation. In 1977, the average value of stolen motor vehicles was $1,992 at the time of theft. Of all motor vehicle thefts reported during 1977, 80 percent were automobiles, 9 percent were trucks or buses, and 10 percent were other types of motor vehicles.

Nationally, in cities over 250,000 inhabitants 11 percent of motor vehicle thefts were cleared during 1977. Throughout the Nation, motor vehicle theft clearance percentages ranged from 25 percent in the South Atlantic States to 8 per- cent in the New England States. In all geographic divisions and population groups, a high proportion of the clearances was through the arrest of persons under 18 years of age. In the largest cities, 26 percent of the motor vehicle thefts cleared were by arrests in this age group, while juveniles accounted for 32 percent of the solutions in the suburbs and 23 percent in the rural areas. Persons Arrested As in prior years, persons arrested for motor vehicle theft came primarily from the youth seg- ment of the population. In 1977, 53 percent of all persons arrested for this crime were under 18 years of age. When persons under 21 were included in the computations, the proportion of arrests rose to 71 percent. The national trend in motor vehicle theft arrests disclosed an increase of 3 percent in 1977 when compared to 1976. Adult arrests increased 1 percent, while arrests of persons under 18 in- creased 5 percent. During the period 1973-1977, motor vehicle theft arrests decreased 5 percent. White persons made up 71 percent of the arrests for motor vehicle theft, Negroes 26 percent, and all other races accounted for the remainder. Persons Charged Of all persons known to have been formally processed for motor vehicle theft in 1977, 64 percent were referred to juvenile court jurisdic- tions. No other Crime Index offense resulted ini such a high percentage of juvenile court referrals. When the remaining adult offenders were con- sidered as a group, 56 percent of those prosecuted on charges of motor vehicle theft were founc guilty as charged, 32 percent were either acquitteci or their cases were dismissed, and 12 percent werw convicted of lesser offenses. 34 CRIME INDEX TOTAL CRIME INDEX OFFENSES UP 25% RATE PER 100,000 INHABITANTS UP 22% POPULATION UP 3% + 30 , + 20 + 10 ^^^^^ r?***** 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 timz Index Total During 1977, an estimated 10,935,800 Crime idex offenses, down 3 percent from 1976, were iported to law enforcement agencies. Similarly, le property crimes as a group showed a decline of percent. Among the property crimes, larceny- aeft dropped 6 percent and burglary declined 1 ercent. Motor vehicle theft, the sole property rime to increase in volume, rose 1 percent. Unlike the property crimes, the violent crimes, amprising 9 percent of the total Crime Index, increased 2 percent collectively. Murder increased 2 percent; forcible rape, 1 1 percent; and aggravated assault, 6 percent. Only robbery declined, down 4 percent from the 1976 experience. Since 1973, the Crime Index offenses increased 25 percent. The violent crimes rose 15 percent, and the property crimes were up 27 percent in volume during this five-year period.

However, many factors, some of which are io\\Ti on page v of this publication, influence le nature and extent of crime in a particular community. A crime rate takes into consideration 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 following table lists the crime rates for the four geographic regions of the United States. 35 Crime Rate by Region, 1977 (Rate per 100,000 inhabitants) Crime Index offenses North- eastern States North Central States Southern States Western States Total 4,957.1 4,635.6 4,618.1 6,574.7 Violent 510.3 4,446.9 373.5 4,262.1 451.8 4,166.3 575.8 5,998.9 6.9 22.7 261.2 219.5 1,403.6 2,417.0 626.3 7.2 24.7 162.7 178.8 1,153.7 2,707.7 400.7 11.3 29.4 140.3 270.8 1,336.1 2,524.7 305.6 9.3 Forcible rane . 43.2 213.7 Aggravated assault 309.7 1,932.7 3, 520. 8 Motor vehicle thett 545.4 The table, "Crime Rate by Area, 1977," presents the crime experience in metropolitan areas, rural areas, and cities and towns outside metropolitan areas.

The measure used is a Crime Index consisting of seven offenses: murder and non- negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. Although the total number of criminal acts that occur is unknown, offenses reported to law enforce- ment agencies are at the present time the most accurate source of crime data. Not all crimes com( to the attention of law enforcement; not all crimes are of sufficient importance to be significant as ar index; and not all important crimes occur witl enough regularity to be meaningful in an index With these considerations in mind, the above mentioned crimes were selected as a group t( furnish an abbreviated and convenient measure o the crime problem. It is important to remember in reviewing th< tables that, as mentioned earlier, many factor can cause the volume and type of crime to varj from place to place. Population, one of thesi factors, is used in computing crime rates; however the element of transient population affects al communities to some degree. Since estimates o current permanent population are used to con struct crime rates, this mobility in populations i not accounted for in the figures. In addition to the presentations outlined above national averages for the type and value of prop erty stolen, by offense — including further break downs, by type, for the robbery, burglary, an larceny-theft classifications — are included in th tables. Also, the type and value of propert; stolen, including the percent recovered national! by law enforcement investigation, are presentee National averages can provide the law enforce ment administrator with valuable guidance i analyzing the local crime count, as well as th performance of his force in combating crime. Th analysis, however, does not end with such a com parison, for it is only through an appraisal c local conditions that a clear picture of the com munity crime problem or the effectiveness of th law enforcement operation is possible. 36 ro6/« 1.—lnd«x of Crimi, Unittd Statts, 1977 Area 'Bhed Stmlea Total Rato per 100,000 inhabi- tants undard Metropolitan Statisti- cal Area Area actually reporting '..

Crimes are also cleared in excep- tional instances when some element beyond police control precludes the placing of formal charges against an offender, such as a victim's refusal to prosecute after an offender is identified or local prosecution is declined because a subject is being prosecuted elsewhere for a crime committed in another jurisdiction. The arrest of one person can clear several crimes or several persons may be arrested in the process of clearing one crime. In 1977, law enforcement agencies reported that, nationally, 21 percent of the Index crimes were cleared. During the year, law enforcement agen- cies cleared 75 percent of murder offenses, 51 percent of forcible rapes, 62 percent of aggravated assaults, and 27 percent of robberies. In connec- tion with property crimes, police cleared 16 percent of the burglaries, 20 percent of the larceny- thefts, and 15 percent of the motor vehicle thefts. Law enforcement agencies are able to clear a higher percentage of the crimes against persons, not only because of the more intense investigative effort afforded these violent crimes, but more importantly, because witnesses who can identify the perpetrators are often available. Regionally, the highest overall Crime Index clearance rate was recorded by the Southern States with 24 percent, followed by the Western and North Central States, each with 21 percent, and the Northeastern States with 17 percent. Offenses Cleared by Arrest of Juveniles One means of measuring the involvement of youths in crime is to identify the number of crimes in which they are the offenders. In 1977, 28 percent of all Crime Index offenses solved involved only persons under 18 years of age, while persons 10 to 17 years of age accounted for about 15 percent of the total United States' population. 160 CRIMES CLEARED BY ARREST 1977 CRIMES OF VIOLENCE NOT CLEARED CLEARED MURDER 75% AGGRAVATED «„-, ASSAULT D^/" FORCIBLE CIO/ RAPE 3 ' /•» L ROBBERY 27% 1 CRIMES AGAINST PROPERTY NOT CLEARED CLEARED BUR<5I,ARY 16% iAR^iiiiiiEr:: ■■■»«****W44»W 20% MOTOR VEHICII THErt 15% 161 Table 20. — Offenses known and Percent Cleared by Arrest, 1977, by Population Groupi [1977 estimated population] Population group TOTAL CITIES: 7,171 cities; total populadon 131.880,000: Offenses known -- Percent cleared by arrest. .

This information is important to the law enforcement administrator in evaluating the quality of investigative efforts and court presenta- tion functions. It should be noted that, due to lengthy judicial procedures, the figures in this section necessarily include dispositions for charges placed in prior years. In 1977, 80 percent of the adults arrested for Crime Index offenses were prosecuted in the courts ; of these, 68 percent were found guilty as charged, 8 percent were convicted of a lesser offense, and the remaining 24 percent were released either through acquittal or dismissal. It must be recognized that not all arrested per- sons are turned over to the courts for prosecution. Among the various reasons for this are the follow- ing: disclosure of evidence revealing the arrested person did not commit the offense; failure of the victim to cooperate with or appear for the prosecu- tion; release of the arrested person after a warning; or lack of sufficient evidence to support either a formal charge or a subsequent prosecution. For example, 4 of 10 juveniles were handled and re- leased by the individual law enforcement agencies without preferring a formal charge or referring them directly to juvenile authorities. In this section, the tables concerning juveniles refer to those arrested and turned over to juvenile authorities. However, consideration must be given the fact that police methods of handling juvenile offenders differ widely from place to place. Forty-one percent of the persons processed for Crime Index offenses were young persons referred to a juvenile court jurisdiction. As in prior years, juvenile referrals for motor vehicle theft were significant, comprising 64 percent of those pro- cessed for motor vehicle theft. Of all persons processed for the other Index offenses, juveniles referred for burglary constituted 57 percent; larceny-theft, 38 percent; robbery, 33 percent; forcible rape, 23 percent; aggravated assault, 17 percent; and murder, 9 percent. During 1977, as in past years, arson and vandalism also recorded high percentages of juvenile referrals. Of the adults who were prosecuted for Crime' Index offenses, 24 percent were acquitted or hadi their cases dismissed. In 1977, 30 percent of thei murder defendants were either acquitted or their cases dismissed at some prosecutive stage. Forty percent of those charged with forcible rape were acquitted or had their cases dismissed, and 3© percent of the persons charged with aggravated! assault were released either through acquittal or dismissal. Seventy-four percent of those adults prosecuted! for larceny-theft were found guilty of that offensa in 1977. This was followed by burglary with 62 percent found guilty of the original charge, 57' percent for robbery, 56 percent for motor vehicle theft, 55 percent for murder, 49 percent for aggra- vated assault, and 47 percent for forcible rape. When all crime categories were reviewed, the percentage of persons convicted for the original offense with which they were charged remainedi high for offenses against public order and decency — driving under the influence, drunkermess, dis- orderly conduct, and vagrancy. Similarly, offenses against trust, such as fraud and embezzlement, recorded a high percentage of convictions on original charges. The offense which had the highest percentage guilty of a lesser offense was murder; 14 percent of the murder defendants were convicted of a less serious crime. 214 DISPOSITION OF PERSONS CHARGED 1977 OFFENSE CHARGED 32% GUILTY 36% SUMMONED 30% N— .

When full-time civilians were included, the total count of law enforcement employees was 545,000 for a national rate of 2.7 per 1,000 inhabitants. Caution should be exercised in using rates for comparative purposes since there is a wide varia- tion in the responsibilities of various law enforce- ment agencies throughout the country. Just as the conditions which affect the amoimt and type of crime vary from place to place, so do the require- ments for types of police service based upon the conditions which exist in a given community. For example, the increased need for police service in a community which has a highly mobile or seasonal population differs from a community which has a relatively stable or fixed population. In addition, a small community situated between two large cities may require a greater number of law enforcement personnel than a similarly sized community having no urban centers nearby. The crime conditions of the former are for the most part dictated by its geographic location. It is pointed out that the figures set forth in detailed tabular presentations on law enforcement employees represent national averages. They should be used as guides or indicators and not be considered as recommended or desirable police strengths. Adequate manpower for a specific place can only be determined after a careful study and analysis of the various factors which contribute to the requirement for law enforcement service in that locality. The functions of sheriffs also vary widely in different sections of the country. In certain areas the sheriffs' responsibilities are limited almost exclusively to civil functions and/or the adminis- tration of the county jail facilities. Likewise, state police and highway patrol agencies may have vastly differing responsibilities from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Many cities in the United States operate with substantially fewer law enforcement employees per capita than the national average. For example, cities in the 10,000 to 50,000 population range averaged 2.0 law enforcement employees per 1,000 inhabitants. This low average rate for smaller cities is offset by the fact that large cities, those with over 250,000 inhabitants, were substantially above the national average with a rate of 3.4 law enforcement employees per 1,000 inhabitants. Suburban areas averaged 2.4 full-time law enforcement employees per 1,000 inhabitants. Nationally, sheriffs' departments had an average rate of 2.1 full-time employees. The West North Central and West South Cen- tral Divisions of the country recorded the fewest law enforcement employees, 2.1 per 1,000 popu- lation, while the Middle Atlantic and South Atlantic States continued as the Nation's leaders in the rate of law enforcement employees to popu- lation. The Middle Atlantic States increased their rate to 2.8 from 2.7 the previous year. Similarly, the South Atlantic States increased dur- ing the year a tenth of a percent to 3.1 employees. Sworn Personnel Law enforcement employee rates based on sworn personnel only (excluding civilian employ- ees) showed the average for all cities was 2.1 per 1,000 inhabitants in 1977. The city rates, nationally, ranged from 0.1 to 7.9 per 1,000 inhabi- tants. In city agencies, males represented 97 percent of all sworn personnel. Males in suburban agencies constituted 96 percent and in county sheriffs' and police departments 92 percent. The average rate of sworn employees in sheriffs' departments was 1.7 per 1,000 inhabitants and the rate range for the 2,761 reporting county agencies was 0.1 to 9.6 per 1,000 inhabitants. 222 Table 58. — Fvll-Hmt Law Enforcemtnt Employees,' October 31, 1977, Number and Rate per 1,000 Inhabitants by Geographic Divisions and Population Groups [1977 estimated population] Geographic division TOTAL: 8,069 cities: population 141,564,000: Number of police employees Averaee number of employees per 1,000 inhabitants- Interquartile range New England: 577 cities: population 10,352,000: Number of police employees Average number of employees per 1,000 inhabitants.

Cities with populations from 25,000 to 50,000 had the highest clearance percentage with 94 percent. By activity, the highest clearance rates for all agencies were recorded for assaults on officers responding to disturbance calls and involved in handling, transporting, and the custody of prison- ers; in each of these two categories 92 percent of the offenses were cleared. Ambush attacks ac- counted for the lowest clearance rate with 59 percent. Table 75 shows the percentage of assaults cleared by type of activity and population group.

During the 10-year period 1968- 1977, 1,094 officers were slain. The number of law enforcement officers killed in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands for the period 1971-1977 and the number of Federal officers killed in the period 1972-1977 have been included in the tabulations with the local, county, and state officers for the 10-year period.

One officer was killed in Puerto Rico and one in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The preceding chart shows the number of law enforce- ment officers killed by region for each of two 5-year periods, 1968-1972 and 1973-1977. The accompanying table presents information on the officers feloniously killed in 1977 by geographic division and population group. Ninety-one of the 93 officers slain during 1977 were from 83 different local, county, and state law enforcement agencies in 31 states and the District of Columbia. As indicated above, the remaining two were from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Among the states, California ranked highest with ten officers killed. The State of New York followed closely with nine officers slain. Circumstances Surrounding Deaths More law enforcement officers were killed re- sponding to disturbance calls, during 1977, than under any other circumstance. Twenty-two officers lost their lives while involved in this activity, which includes responses to family quarrels, man- with-gun calls, bar fights, etc. Eleven officers were slain by persons engaged in the commission of a robbery or during the pursuit of robbery suspects. Nine officers were killed at the scene of burglaries or while pursuing burglary suspects, and 19 lost their lives while attempting arrests for crimes other than robbery or burglary. In 1977, four officers were killed in ambush situations. Three of these officers were victims of unprovoked attacks which did not involve any apparent element of entrapment. The remaining officer was slain in a premeditated attack. Twelve officers were killed in 1977 while enforc- ing traffic laws, nine while investigating suspicious persons or circumstances, and seven while trans- porting or otherwise engaged in the custody of prisoners.

During patrol, an officer is frequently in contact with suspicious or dangerous indi- viduals, and each of these situations constitutes a threat to the officer's personal safety. The patrol officer is readily identifiable because of his uni- form and/or patrol vehicle. He frequently must determine quickly and accurately if a person is involved in a criminal act. If the suspect consti- tutes a danger to the officer's personal safety, he must afford himself reasonable protection. The patrol ofiicer is placed in a variety of dangerous situations and must react to circum- stances as they occur without the benefit of de- tailed information or plaiming. He often risks attack through frequent encounters with criminal offenders at or near crime scenes. These perils are substantiated by the fact that officers assigned to patrol duty are the most fre- quent targets of the police killer. Law enforcement officers assigned in other capacities are confronted with equally tense and dangerous situations while performing their duties, but not with the same frequency. Sixty -six patrol officers were slain in 1977. Sixty-four of these officers were assigned to patrol vehicles, and two were on foot patrol. Twenty officers were detectives or officers on special assign - ments. In the highest tradition of the law enforce- ment profession, seven officers, while in an off- duty status, were taking appropriate police action relative to criminal matters when they were slain. During the period 1968-1977, 66 percent (724) of the 1,094 officers slain were assigned to patrol duties. In 1977, 37 of the on-duty officers were alone and unassisted when killed. During the period 1968- 1977, 35 percent (379) of the officers were alone and unassisted when they gave their lives for the communities they were sworn to protect. Weapons Used Eighty-three, 89 percent, of the law enforce- ment officers killed in 1977 were slain with fire- arms. Handguns were used in 59 of these deaths, rifles in 13, and shotguns were used to kill 11 of the officers. Nine officers were slain with their own firearms.

Persons Identified Law enforcement agencies cleared 88 of the 93 killings that occurred in calendar year 1977. In connection with these crimes, 109 persons were identified. Fifty-nine percent of the persons identi- fied were white, 37 percent Negro, and five per- cent other races. Sixty-one percent of the assailants had prior arrests, and 46 percent of those had been previously convicted. Thirty-one percent had prior arrests for violent types of crime such as murder, rape, armed robbery, aggravated assault, etc. Twenty-one percent had been granted parole or probation following convictions for prior criminal charges. Fifteen percent of the persons identified had a prior arrest for a narcotics charge, and three percent had prior arrests for police assault. Ninety- nine percent were male and one percent female. In 1977, 11 subjects were justifiably killed at the scene of the police killing or in ensuing confron- tations. One of these offenders was killed by a victim officer. Four offenders were wounded by victim officers, and three offenders committed suicide. The persons identified ranged in age from 15 to 62. The median age of these individuals was 25 years. Fifty-eight percent were between the ages of 18 and 30, and 11 percent (12) were under the age of 18. In the period 1966-1975, the most recent 10-year period for which complete disposition data are available, 1,455 knowni persons were involved in connection with the killing of 1,023 law enforce- ment officers.

By utilizing the following key, the reader will gain a better understanding of table construction. Key : A) Column 1 shows the table number. This appendix will refer to Tables 1 through 57, Crime in the United States — 1977. B) Column 2 indicates the type of crime statistics presented. Four distinct types of data are submitted to UCR by law enforcement agencies : 1 . offense (o) 2. clearance (c) 3. arrest (a) 4. disposition (d) C) Column 3 indicates the reporting period for the data. Submission of data is either monthly (M) or annually (A) . D) Column 4 indicates the level of sub- mission necessary for an agency's statis- tics 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 less than 12 months of the year. 3. Nonreporting agencies. This column indicates whether or not the statistics from each agency level are included in the table (s). For ex- ample. Table 1 includes all three agency reporting levels, but Table 14 presents only the data from agencies reporting for the entire year. E) Column 5 indicates how each table was constructed. Data adjustments, if any, are discussed along with various defini- tions of data aggregation. F) Column 6 contains general comments regarding the potential use and misuse of the statistics presented. G) Column 7 indicates the percent of law enforcement agencies, as well as the percent of the total United States' population, represented in each table or family of tables. For example. Table 1 represents national level statistics for all agencies, while Table 56 statistics are compiled from a more limited group of agencies. 297 Table Representation (2) (3) Data Base (4) Table Construction (S) Genera] Comments (6) (7) (1) Agency percent Popu- lation percent 1 0 M All law enforcement agencies Table statistics arc aggregated from indi- Represents an estimation of 1 in the UCR Program (in- vidual state statistics as shown in Table i. national reported crime SMSA.. 100.0 100.0 cluding those submitting Crime statistics Include estimated oflense activity in 1977.

Tablo ConsliucUon (5) General Comments (6) Statistics are published for all Standard Met- ropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSAs) hav- ing at least 75% reporting. Crime statistics include estimated offense totals for agen- cies submitting less than 12 months of of- fense statistics for 1977. Topulation statis- tics represent July I, 1977, estimates. The statistics under the heading "Area Actually Reporting" represent reported oHense totab for agencies submitting all 12 months of offense reports plus estimated offense totals for agencies submitting less than 12, but more than 2 months of olTense reports. The statistics under the heading "Estimated Total" represent the above plus the estimated offense totals for agen- cies submitting less than 3 months of of- fense reports. The tabular breakdowns are according to UCR definitions (App. II). "Cities and Towns" are defined to be agen- cies in Population Groups I through V (App. III). The population classification of agencies is based on July 1, 1977, pop- ulation estimations of each agency. Student enrollment figures are adjusted by converting part-time students into full- time equivalents (FTE) as provided by the National Center for Education Statis- tics 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 Education General Information Survey (HEGIS XII)." 'Suburban Counties" noncity agencies (App. III). are defined to be all within an SMSA 'Rural Counties" are defined to be that portion not covered by city police agencies and outside SMSAs (App. III). Popula- tion classifications of nu-al counties are based on July 1, 1977, population estima- tions of individual agencies.

General Comments (6) The 1977 crime trend statistics are 1-year comparisons based on 1977 reported crime activity. Only common reported months for individual agencies are included in 1977 trend calculations. Populations represent July 1, 1977, estimations of individual agencies. The tabular breakdowns are according to UCR crime definitions (App. II) and population classifications (App. III). Note that "Suburban and Non-Sub- urban Cities" represents all city agencies other than core cities for SMSAs. The 1977 crime rates are the ratios of the aggregated 1977 crime volumes and the aggregated 1977 populations of the contrib- uting agencies. Population statistics repre- sent July 1, 1977, estimations of individual agencies. The tabular breakdowns are according to UCR crime definitions (App. II) and population classifications (App. III). Note that "Suburban and Non- Suburban" represents all city agencies other than core cities for SMSAs. Offense total and value lost total are com- puted for each Index offense category. An average value loss per category is com- puted. 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 1976 and 1977. The 1977 clearance rates are based on offense and clearance volume totals of the contrib- uting agencies for 1977. Population statis- tics represent July 1, 1977, estimations of individual agencies. The tabular break- downs are according to UC R crime defini- tions (App. II) and population classifica- tions (App. III).

VIII Kural county IX Suburban county The Rural Area is that portion of a county outside the SMSA excluding areas covered by city police agencies. Suburban Area refers to cities with less than 50,000 inhabitants plus counties within an SMSA (excluding the central city or cities). The number of full-time law enforcement agencies serving the population groups will vary shghtly from year to year due to geopolitical consolidation, municipal incorporation, etc. The following table shows the number of UCR con- The major source of Uniform Crime Reporting tributing agencies within each population group. (UCR) data is the individual police agency; therefore, some geographical aggregations may differ from standard Census definitions to render them consistent to police reporting areas and jurisdictions. UCR employs standard city and Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) classifications from the Bureau of the Census, but rural and suburban areas are slightly changed to match the reporting area of the local police. The definitions used by the UCR Program for these two entities are as follows : Population group Number of agencies Population covered I _ 58 117 272 659 1,618 6,979 3,605 1,339 42, 157, 000 II 16. 669, 000 Ill 18,718,000 rv 22,741,000 V -- 25,054,000 VI 23,363,000 VIII - 32,191.000 IX 35,437,000 306 APPENDIX IV VIOLENT AND PROPERTY CRIME RATES Accurate presentation of collected data is a very important aspect of the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. For meaningful crime analysis, in particular, the importance of a dependable Crime Index cannot be overemphasized. There- fore, in this Appendi.x, a paired inde.x (violent crime rate and property crime rate) is discussed as a possible means of augmenting and refining the presentation of crime data. In short, the proposed supplementary approach involves endowing the violent crime rate and the property crime rate with an elevated status as separate crime indica- tors in addition to regarding them as subtotals of the Crime Index total. Violent Crime Index and Property Crime Index will refer to violent and property crime totals respectively. Violent and property crime rates are similarly defined. In order to see the relative volume of Index crimes, the following table has been constructed. It will be noted that the percent distribution is the same for both volume and crime rate. It will be noted from the table below that violent crime accounts for onh' 9.2 percent of the total, while ])roperty crime constitutes the major portion of the total Crime Index with 90. S percent. Consequently, even a significant change in violent crime can only have minimal impact on the Crime Index total. On the other hand, a minor change in property crime would substantially affect the Crime Index total. To illustrate, when property crime is kept constant, violent crime would have to increase 10.8 percent in order for the Crime Index total to increase 1 percent. Similarly, a 100.0 percent increase in violent crime would result in a 9.2 jjercent increase in the Crime Index total, again making the hvjjothetical assumption that property crime is held constant. The sig- nificant influence of property crime on the Crime Index total is a major reason for considering a jjaired Crime Index rate. There are a number of other factors that further support the utilization of se])arate violent crime and property crime intlices in addition to a Crime Index total. They are discussed below.

The former is generally characterized by threat or actual bodily harm, whereas the latter consists of offenses that in no way threaten life or limb. Violent crime is characterized by a higher degree of seriousness than property crime. Furthermore, the difference between these two types of crime can be illustrated by the following example. UCR data indicated that the female arrest ratio in the past two decades had shown a shght decline for violent crime. However, for property crime, the ratio figures have substantially increased. If the data were combined into a total Crime Index, the aforementioned difference would be concealed. Situations of this type point out that traditional crime analysis is enhanced by the augmentation of separate violent crime and property crime indicators. Violent crime and property crime are not only heterogeneous, but have a different order of 307 magnitude as can be seen in Table 1. The volume of violent crimes is in the neighborhood of one million for the Nation, whereas the property crime index is in the order of ten million. With res]iect to seriousness, it is generally agreed that violent crimes are more severe than most property crimes. However, accurately ascer- taining the comparative degree of seriousness is problematic at the present time. In addition, any seriousness measurement is subject to changing social conditions. Presenting se])arate violent and property crime indices would seem to be advanta- geous under these circumstances. Different areas of the country often exhibit a tendency toward one or the other crime types. A comparison of the 50 states in terms of violent and property crimes, for example, illustrated this point. Only a moderate degree of association was observed between the violent and property crime rates. Table 2 shown below represents data for all cities with populations over 250,000. The table was con- structed by computing separate violent and prop- erty crime rates. A product-moment correlation coefficient was computed to determine the degree of relationship between the two indices. A low degree of association (r=..34) was found, indicating that the violent crime rate anil the property crime rate do not necessarily behave in parallel. The paired index approach was used in Table 7 "Number of Offenses Known to the Police, 1977, Universities and Colleges" of this publication. This was part of a generalizeil effort to mitigate the often misleading ranking of agencies. Needless to say, a paired crime index rate represents a lower level of aggregation than a single Crime Index total. The procedure promulgated could be carried further, keeping all seven Index crimes separate. However, it should be noted that statistical pre- sentation always involves balancing the amount of information on the one side and the simplicity of the data on the other.
