Offense Analysis
United States, 2003-2007
The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
Program.
General comments
- This table provides the estimated number of offenses for the crimes
of murder, forcible rape, robbery, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor
vehicle theft for the Nation from 2003 to 2007.
- This table provides additional detail for the following offenses:
- Robbery by location (such as street/highway, bank, residence).
- Burglary by location (residence or nonresidence) and time of day
(night, day, or unknown).
- Larceny-theft by type (such as pocket-picking, purse-snatching,
and shoplifting).
- The data source from which the FBI derives Table 7 does not include
aggravated assault or arson.
Methodology
- The data used in creating this table were from all law enforcement
agencies participating in the UCR Program (including those submitting
less than 12 months of data).
- Crime statistics include estimated offense tables (except arson) for
agencies submitting less than 12 months of offense reports for each year.
- The FBI estimates the breakdowns for robbery, burglary, and larceny-theft
by first calculating the proportion of the total offenses represented
by the breakdowns as presented in Table 23 and
applying those percentages to the estimated offense total as presented
in Table 1.
