On a monthly basis, low enforcement agenciesreport the number <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fenses that become known to them in the following crimecategories: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, manslaughter by negligence,forcible rope, robbery, assault, burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, andorson. All <strong>of</strong> these crime categories, except manslaughter by negligence, are usedto establish a crime Index in order to measure the trend and distribution <strong>of</strong> crimein the United States. The "Totai Crime Index" is a simpie sum <strong>of</strong> the index<strong>of</strong>fenses. Arson was designated as a Part I Index <strong>of</strong>fense in October 1978. Unl;kethe table~ from Crime in the U,ited States presented in Sectian 3, arrest statisticsfar the crime <strong>of</strong> orson are complete for 1979 and appear in the "Total Crime Index"and ''Property crime" total.Arrest statistics are compiled as port <strong>of</strong> this manthly data collection effort.Participating low enforcement agencies are instructed to count one arrest eachtime a person is token into custody, notified, or cited for criminal infractions otherthan traffic violations. Annual arrest figures do not measure the number <strong>of</strong>individuals token Into custody because one person may be arrested several timesduring the year for the some type <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fense or for different <strong>of</strong>fenses.
