Crime Index Explained
The Crime Index is a nationwide, cooperative program to assess the nature and type of crime in the nation. Seven categories of crime were identified and have been used since 1930 to present a reliable set of criminal statistics. An eighth category, arson, was added in 1979 but is not represented in this report.
Personal or “Violent” Index Crimes involve force or threat of force, generally considered crimes against persons. Murder and non-negligent manslaughter: willful, non-negligent killing of one human being by another, based on police investigation rather than court, medical examiner or judicial body
Rape: carnal knowledge of a woman, forcible and against her will, including assault and attempt to commit rape by force or threat of force; statutory rape not included
Robbery: taking or attempting to take anything of value from a person by force or threat of force
Aggravated assault: unlawful attack by one person on another for the purpose of inflicting bodily injury, usually involving a weapon.
Property Index Crimes are offenses dealing with property, committed without force or threat of force.
Burglary: is the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft; it includes three subcategories of forcible entry, unlawful entry where no force is used, and attempted forcible entry.
Larceny-theft: the unlawful taking of property from the possession of another (including shoplifting, pocket-picking, purse-snatching, bicycles thefts) in which no force, violence or fraud is used. Embezzlement, forgery, and confidence games are not included.
Motor Vehicle Theft: includes stealing of automobiles, buses, motorcycles, etc, or attempted theft.
Arson: willful or malicious burning or attempt to burn, a house, public building, motor vehicle or personal property of another; an investigation must determine the fires were willfully set.
Crime in the United States, published annually by the FBI, contains more complete information on these definitions and national statistics. It can be found in the Reference Section of the City Library.
