Crime in the United States contains findings that the FBI releases annually from its Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. No longer printed by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Bernan Press continues to provide this practical information in convenient book form. In addition to crime counts and trends, this report includes Data on crimes cleared, Persons arrested (age, sex, and race), Law enforcement personnel (including the number of sworn officers killed or assaulted), The characteristics of homicides (including age, sex, and race of victims and offenders; victim-offender relationships; weapons used; and circumstances surrounding the homicides). Legal and law enforcement professionals and researchers will find crime statistics for the nation as a whole-and for regions, states, counties, cities, towns, and college and university campuses on murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Statistics also cover the property crimes of burglary, arson, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
