Foreword

Crime in Arizona is the result of a combined effort by our state's law enforcement agencies to collect and organize data
relating to the problem of crime which we face.
The purpose of the publication is to expose the nature and extent of crime in Arizona, to guide the criminal justice system in
its efforts to combat crime and to prompt the citizen action that is necessary if we are to prevent and control crime in our
society.
Crime is a social disease. It affects everyone. All of society is concerned with its control.
To provide an effective defense against crime it is vital that every citizen unites with law enforcement authorities. To
flourish, crime needs the apathy of the community. If apathy is replaced with hostility to crime, that ability to flourish is
greatly reduced.
We hope this publication will help arouse that hostility to crime in the Arizona community.

Crime Reporting System

INTRODUCTION

LIMITATIONS OF THE PUBLICATION

The third year of publication of the AUCR Report adds a
further dimension to crime reporting in Arizona. The
capability of delineating three years of crime statistics
will aid the user in defining crime rates and making
analyses and comparisons.

The statistics listed in this publication are the most
accurate data currently available.

The AUCR Unit is in a continual process of refining and
adding more meaningful information to assist the users in
their fight against crime.

HISTORY OF ARIZONA UNIFORM CRIME
REPORTING
The AUCR Unit first began receiving quantitative crime
statistics from Arizona police agencies during January
1975. By the close of the calendar year 1977, 78 out of a
possible 86 (90.7%) Arizona police agencies were
contributing to the AUCR program. An accurate
estimate of the exact influence which the missing reports
from the 8 nonreporting agencies have on this statistical
publication is difficult to assess. These nonreporting
agencies represent a combined census population of
22,529 or less than 1 percent of the total population.
The evaluation of the significance of the crime statistical
resource must be made by the local community
institutions, organizations and police agencies of the
state. These segments of society can determine the worth
of the AUCR system by their applied use of the resource
in deterring, reducing and preventing community crime.
Only then can this system assume that it has begun to
meet its stated intent.

The interpretation of crime statistics frequently results in
a controversy as to the accuracy of the comparison and
how these statistics were compiled. We ask that great care
be taken in analysis and interpretation.
The following factors have a major influence on the
statistics presented in this publication.
1.

Crime figures presented in this publication are
police statistics as distinguished from judicial or
penal statistics.

2.

Actual crimes represent violations of Arizona
statutes.

3.

Some police jurisdictions overlap.

4.

Crime rates, as used in the AUCR program, are
based on census-fixed residential populations of
police jurisdictions.

5.

Arizona Indians living on reservations are not
counted in AUCR population figures, although
they are included in the state's population figures.

6.

Some juveniles are informally handled which
affects the accuracy of the reported juvenile
offenses.

UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING CLASSIFICATION
OF OFFENSES
INTENT OF THE SYSTEM
The intent of the Arizona Uniform Crime Reporting
(AUCR) System is to supply Arizona communities,
agencies, institutions and organizations with a resource
of quantitative crime statistics which they can use,
efficiently and effectively, to deter, reduce and prevent
crime.

OBJECTIVES OF THE SYSTEM
The scope of this system shall be to produce a reliable set
of state quantitative crime statistics which measure the
extent, fluctuation and distribution of serious crime in
Arizona.
The extent of the conditions and performance of the
AUCR Unit, Department of Public Safety, shall be
limited to the intent set forth by Statute (ARS 41-1750),
and as defined in the Governor's Executive Order 68-3,
dated November 15, 1968.

PROCEDURES AND METHODS
Each contributing agency is responsible for compiling its
own reports. To aid in this endeavor, the Arizona UCR
supplemental guide manual is supplied to all contributors. This manual outlines reporting procedures in
detail and is complete with examples and illustrations.
Additionally, the AUCR Field Representatives provide
instruction and clarification as required. Each agency is
supplied with a complete set of forms yearly. These forms
are used by the agencies when they submit their reports to
the AUCR system.

Arizona has two principal geographical locations
containing a dense conglomerate of people - the city of
Tucson with 306,500 people, and Phoenix, the capital
city, with a population of 682,200. More than 43 percent
of the 2,296,270 people who live in Arizona, live in these
two cities.
One of the unique characteristics of Arizona is its
temperate climate. This factor has contributed to the
state's rapid population and economic growth. The
population median age is 29.1 years, while the median age
for the United States is 27.7 years. The state's population
density is 20 persons per square mile, with a total
population of 2,296,270. This figure includes the Indians
living on the reservations within the state.
With reference to the economic aspects of the state,
manufacturing produces more income for Arizonans
than any other facet of our economy. Mining is the
second largest industry, agricultural production third,
and tourism fourth.
These factors should be considered when reviewing the
statistical information presented in this publication.
The following population distribution grouping factor
has some influence on the volume and type of crime
displayed in this Annual Report.
The cities, towns and counties within the state have been
divided into seven (7) groups according to population
size. The seventh group (ungrouped) is provided for
identification of volume and type of crime (Part I crimes)
to account for total offenses. The following is the
grouping explanation.
GROUP NR.
I

Over 250,000 population. There are only two (2)
cities that fall within this group.

Please address any comments, recommendations, or
requests for specific information to:

cities and counties that fall within this group.

4

25,001 to 50,000 population. There are nine (9)
cities and counties that fall within this group.

5

10,001 to 25,000 population. There are eight (8)
cities, towns, or counties that fall within this group.

6

10,000 or less population. There are forty-five (45)
cities, towns, or counties that fall within this group.

7

Ungrouped. There are seven (7) reporting agencies
that by definition do not have measurable
population. For purposes of this report, they are
combined for the crimes by population distribution.

PORTRAIT AND PROFILE OF ARIZONA
Arizona, with 113,909 square miles, is the sixth largest
state in the United States. Much of this area is owned by
the Federal Government in the form of Indian
reservations, National Parks, and National Forests.
Arizona is 69% federally owned; 27% of that federal
ownership is in the form of Indian reservations. The state
owns 13%, leaving 18% to private ownership.

other information as may be pertinent to all
persons who have been arrested for or convicted
of a public offense within the state.
*2. Collect information concerning the number and
nature of offenses known to have been committed
in the state, of the legal steps taken in connection
therewith, and such other information as shall be
useful in the study of crime in the administration
of justice.
3. Cooperate with the criminal identification
bureaus in other states and with the appropriate
agency of the federal government in the exchange
of information pertinent to violators of the law.
In addition, the criminal identification section
shall provide for the rapid exchange of
information concerning the commission of crime
and the detection of violators of the law, between
the law enforcement agencies of this state and its
political subdivisions and the law enforcement
agencies of other states and of the federal
government.

8. Provide information from its records relating to
convictions for public offenses to licensing and
regulatory agencies of the state or its political

such agency or his authorized representative, for
the purpose of evaluating the fitness of
prospective licensees. Such information shall be
used only for the purpose of such evaluation.
9. Provide information from its records relating to
arrests or convictions for public offenses to the
subject of such information, or to his attorney at
the request of the subject, and when accompanied
by proper identification.
*C. The chief officers of law enforcement agencies of the
state or its political subdivisions shall provide to the
criminal identification section such information
concerning crimes and persons arrested for or
convicted of public offenses within the state as the
chief of the criminal identification section, with the
approval of the director, shall deem useful for the
study or prevention of crime and for the
administration of justice.
D. Any person who releases or procures the release of
information held by the criminal identification
section other than as provided by this section, or who
uses such information for a purpose other than as
provided by this section, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

4. Furnish assistance to peace officers throughout
the state in crime scene investigations for the
