    National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)

    Crimes Against Persons, Property, and Society

    Each NIBRS offense belongs to one of three categories: Crimes Against Persons, Crimes Against
    Property, and Crimes Against Society. Crimes Against Persons, e.g., murder, rape, and assault,
    are those whose victims are always individuals. The object of Crimes Against Property, e.g.,
    robbery, bribery, and burglary, is to obtain money, property, or some other benefit. Crimes
    Against Society, e.g., gambling, prostitution, and drug violations, represent society’s prohibition
    against engaging in certain types of activity; they are typically victimless crimes in which
    property is not the object.

    For counting purposes, agencies should count one offense for each victim of a Crime Against
    Person, one offense for each distinct operation of a Crime Against Property (with the exception
    of motor vehicle theft, where one offense is counted for each stolen vehicle), and one offense
    for each Crime Against Society.

    In addition, each offense reported in the NIBRS is either a Group A or Group B offense type.
    There are 22 Group A offense categories comprised of 46 Group A offenses and 10 Group B
    offense categories including 10 Group B offenses. Law enforcement agencies report Group A
    offenses as part of a NIBRS incident report, but they report only arrest data for Group B
    offenses.

    The listings of the Group A and Group B offenses appearing in this section indicate whether
    offenses are Crimes Against Persons, Property, or Society. The crime categories are presented
    in alphabetical order within each offense grouping.
