2012 Summary Report

Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program


Georgia Crime Information Center

Georgia’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is derived from the Federal
Bureau of Investigation’s national program. Utilizing standard definitions and
procedures established by the national program, crime data on the number of
serious criminal offenses reported to or investigated by law enforcement and the
number of arrests for all crimes are collected from law enforcement agencies.
This data can then be used to portray crime in Georgia as well as used for
comparisons throughout the State and United States.

UCR data presented in this annual report is compiled directly from summary
offense and arrest reports submitted from Georgia’s law enforcement agencies.
Data presented does not include estimates for incidents or arrests that might
have occurred but are not reported.

The 2012 report reflects statistics based on local agency submissions from
2008–2012.

The UCR data presented in this report, as well as additional data compiled for
the UCR program, can be retrieved for special purpose reports upon request.
You may contact the UCR program at (404) 270-8488 or fax your inquiries to
(404) 270-8463 or email your request to: [email protected]

CRIME DATA

Data collected on offenses reported to or investigated by law enforcement include counts for the crimes of murder and non-negligent
manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor-vehicle theft. Because of their seriousness,
frequency of occurrence and likelihood of being reported, these crimes are regarded as an Index Crime. The first four Index Crimes are
violent crimes or crimes against persons. The remaining Index Crimes are serious property crimes.

The following table is a profile of reported index Crimes for 2012 in Georgia. This table includes calculated crime rates per 100,000 people.
The use of crime rates in making comparisons in crime trends helps to minimize problems with crime data interpretation. However,
readers are cautioned that crime rates cited are reliable indications of crime only to the extent that population estimates are accurate, that
victims report crimes and that Uniform Crime Reports are submitted to GCIC by law enforcement agencies.

CRIME AND ARREST COMPARISONS
2008-2012

The first table shows the number of incidents and arrests reported each year, based upon UCR criteria, between 2008 and 2012 for each of the seven Index
Crimes. While comparisons of arrests to crimes reported could be useful measurements of law enforcement activity, caution must be exercised. Arrests
reported in one year may be incidents that occurred in that same year or earlier. Since more than one individual can be arrested for a crime, or individuals
can be arrested more than once during a given year, arrest statistics more accurately reflect the number of arrests made, rather than the number of crimes
solved or the number of different persons taken into custody. Also, it is possible in the UCR program to "clear" an incident without making an arrest, if
certain exceptions are met

The second table shows a profile of arrests made by age group for each of the seven Index Crimes between 2008 and 2012

LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS KILLED OR ASSAULTED - 2012
As part of the UCR program, local law enforcement agencies are requested to complete monthly reports on all officers killed by felonious
act, by accident or by negligence. Agencies also are required to report officers assaulted. The data on officers assaulted is broken down
into the type of activity in which the officer was involved when the assault occurred.

Family Violence
The collection of family violence data began in the last half of 1995 when passage of legislation mandated reporting of such incidents to the GCIC by local
law enforcement agencies. Since that time, the number of reporting offenses has increased steadily. In 2012, there were 72,870 reported incidents of
family violence. Children were involved in almost 32 % (23,439) of the total incidents. In an additional 20 % (14,447) of the incidents, the act was
committed in the presence of children.
