Reported Offenses

The number of offenses reported is arrived at by using the Uniform Crime Reporting Summary based hierarchy rules.  Therefore, although multiple offenses may have occurred in a single incident, only the highest ranking offense is counted.

Reported Arrests

An individual is counted only once each time he/she is arrested, and the arrest is counted in the month it occurs (not the month of the crime). Remember, several people can be arrested for the same offense or one person can be arrested on multiple charges.  Therefore, if a person is arrested on multiple charges at the same time within the same jurisdiction, the arrest would be counted only once for the most serious offense.  The same rule applies whether the arrestee is an adult or a juvenile.

 

Caution must be taken not to compare the number of criminal offenses which occurred to the number of individuals arrested for a particular crime.  there is not a direct correlation between the number of individuals arrested and the number of offenses reported.
