~ ---~ ---------- - ---Sout!:eboci< of Criminal Justice Statistics 1983Table 3.56 Estimated number and rate (per 100,000 Inhabitants) of affem;es known to police, by offense, United States, 1960-81N)TE: These data were complied by the Federal Bureau of Investigationthrough the Unifbrm Crime Reporting Pragram. On a monthly basis, lawenforcement agencies (police, sheriffs, and State police) report thenumber of affenses that become Imown to them in the fallowing crimecategories: murder and nannegligent manslaughter, manslaughter bynegligence, forcible rape, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny-theft, andmotor vehicle theft. A count of these crimes, which are known as PartI affenses, is taken from records of all complaints af crime received bylow enforcement agencies from victims or other sources and/or fromofficers who discovered the affenses. Whenever complaints of crime aredetermined through investigation to be unfounded or false, they areeliminated from the actual count (SrJurce, p. 2).The Unifarm Crime Reporting Program uses seven crimecategaries tQ establish a "crime index" in order to measure the trendand distribution of crime in the United States. Crime index offensesinclude murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, farcible rape, rabbery,aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and matar vehicle theft;the "Total Crime Il'idex" is a simple sum of the index affenses. Arsonwas designated as a Part I Index offense in October 1978; datacollection was begun in 1979. However, due to the incompleteness ofarson reporting by police in 1979 and 1980, arson data are notdisplayed nor are they included in the Total Crime Index of theoffenses knawn to the palice., The figuNls in this table are subject to updating by the UniformCrime Reporting Program. The number of agencies reporting andpapulations represented may vary from year to year. This table, Table3.58, and Table 3.59 present estimates for the United States arparticular areas based on agencies reporting.
