Percent Change
by Population Group
January-June 2007
The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
This table provides the percent change in offenses known to law enforcement, by population group, for the first 6 months of 2006 and 2007.
The data used in creating this table were from law enforcement agencies submitting 3 to 6 common months of offense reports for 2006 and 2007. When the FBI determines certain variables have created unusual fluctuations in the data, those data are excluded from the trend tabulations.
Population estimates for 2007 were not available for inclusion in this table. The FBI calculated 2006 state growth rates using revised 2005 state/national population estimates and 2006 provisional state/national population estimates provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. The FBI then estimated 2006 population figures for city and county jurisdictions by applying the 2006 state growth rate to the revised 2005 U.S. Census Bureau city and county jurisdiction data.
