FBI Releases Preliminary Annual Crime Statistics for 2007
According to the FBI’s Preliminary Annual Uniform Crime Report released today,
the nation experienced a 1.4 percent decrease in the number of violent crimes and a 2.1 percent decline in the number of property crimes for 2007 compared with data from 2006. The report is based on information that the FBI gathered from 12,032 law enforcement agencies that submitted six to 12 comparable months of data to the FBI for both 2006 and 2007.
The report is broken down into 3 categories: Violent Crime, Property Crime, and Arson.
The last one is particularly interesting given the current disaster in California: “Arson offenses, tracked separately from other property crimes, decreased 7.0 percent nationwide and declined in each of the population groupings.”
