BOX 11038 PHOENIX, ARIZONA 85005 (602) 2620011 BRUCE BABBITT RALPH T. MILSTEAD GOVERNOR DIRECTOR Foreward For the third consecutive year, crime in Arizona has declined. Contributing to this trend were the combined efforts of private citizens, elected officials and law enforcement agencies. In recent years the public has become more involved in preventive actions, criminal laws and penalties have been stiffened, and police agencies have utilized their resources more efficiently. Without detracting from the significance of this three-year decline, we must not overlook several major concerns. First, the reduction in crime index offenses is of no comfort to the victims of criminal activity. Second, Arizona's crime rate is still above the national average and our goal of protecting citizens from those who disregard the law is far from being realized. Additionally, for the past five years, the ratio of law enforcement employees in Arizona has decreased relative to the population served. All projections indicate that Arizona will continue to be one of the fastest growing states in the nation. Most of that growth is expected to occur in our metropolitan areas and medium-size cities. National studies have indicated that crime is characteristically more prevalent in major urban centers and resort areas with a high proportion of transients, but is typically less prevalent in low-density areas with stable populations. Forecasts also indicate that the present downtrend in crime will level off within the next three years and start gradually upward again. If the capacity of Arizona's law enforcement system does not expand in keeping with our rapid population growth, proportionately more people will be victimized and fewer criminals will be apprehended. With these concerns in mind, yet pleased with the progress made in 1983, I am proud to present this ninth annual report on Crime in Arizona. Utilizing data provided by the 94 law enforcement agencies voluntarily participating in the National Uniform Crime Reporting System, this report provides a summary view of crime, law enforcement activities, analysis of past and current trends, short-term crime forecasts and other useful insights. I believe that this report will help increase awareness of the characteristics of crime as well as the need to strengthen the law enforcement community's deterrent and enforcement capabilities.

I believe that this report will help increase awareness of the characteristics of crime as well as the need to strengthen the law enforcement community's deterrent and enforcement capabilities. Ralph T. Milstead, Colonel Director Ix History, Purpose and Limitations of UCR Data HISTORY OF UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING The Committee on Uniform Crime Records of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) was established in 1927 to initiate a national program for collecting crime information. This Committee's responsibility wee eventually turned over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in 1930, when the FBI received a Congressional mandate to collect and disseminate national crime information. The IACP has continued to serve the Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR) in an advisory capacity, and has been joined in this responsibility by the Committee on Crime Records of the National Sheriff' s Association (NSA) as of 1966. The Arizona Uniform Crime Reporting (AUCR) Unit first began receiving voluntary crime information from Arizona law enforcement agencies in January 1975. Prior to this date these agencies submitted their crime data directly to the FBI. At the close of calendar year 1983, there were 94 law enforcement agencies contributing crime data to the Department of Public Safety's AUCR Unit. LIMITATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS FOR INTERPRETATION Statistics are a tool used to summarize information so that patterns or trends become clearer. All statistics must be interpreted with an understanding of what is being said. Too often information of the type in this report is used to draw conclusions that the statistics simply do not support. Great care should be taken to use the data in the report correctly. The following factors have varying degrees of influence on the statistics presented in this report: 1. Crimes committed on Indian reservations are not counted in the AUCR program, although their population is included in the state's population figures. 2. Crime rates are based on census-fixed residential populations of police jurisdictions. 3. Crime figures are police statistics as distinguished from the findings of a court, coroner, jury or decision of a prosecutor. PURPOSE OF ARIZONA UCR 4. Density and size of community population. Because increasing attention has been focused on the problem of crime in recent years, many segments of our population need more complete information for a variety of reasons. Law enforcement professionals, managers and administrators must focus on crime in their own jurisdictions and also need to know what is occurring in surrounding jurisdictions in order to deploy personnel and equipment most efficiently. Researchers and planners need to know what is happening to predict trends and recommend changes. The goal of Crime in Arizona is to identify the nature and extent of criminal activity in this state and present the information needed by each of these groups. This information will not in itself prevent crime, but it may encourage all segments of society to work together with law enforcement agencies to reduce crime through more effective enforcement. 5. Variations in composition of the population, particularly age structure. 6. Stability of population with respect to transient factors. 7. Economic conditions. 8. Climate. 9. Effective strength of law enforcement agencies. 10. Attitudes of citizenry toward crime. 11. Crime reporting practices of citizenry. Apart from the crimes on Indian reservations not being counted, there were two reporting agencies which were unable to provide data to the AUCR in 1983. This compares with five agencies which could not do so in 1982. Failure to receive data from the two agencies in 1983 did not effect the overall crime rate because these agencies served less than 1% of Arizona's population. xi Classification of Offenses UCR divides offenses into two major classifications which are designated Part I and Part II offenses. This distinction is important to keep in mind because different information is collected for each. Part I offenses include: Violent Crimes 1. 2. 3. 4. Criminal Homicide or Murder Forcible Rape Robbery Aggravated Assault with UCR offense definitions (which will not necessarily be identical to Criminal Code definitions). Counting of Offenses The number of offenses is counted only for Part I crimes and simple assault. The method of counting varies with the type of crime committed, and it is important to remember that the number of offenders does not determine the number of offenses. For murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, negligent manslaughter, rape, aggravated assault and simple assault, one offense is counted for each victim, regardless of the number of offenders involved. Property Crimes 5. Burglary 6. Larceny-Theft 7. Motor Vehicle Theft 8. Arson Note: These offenses are also referred toss the Index Crimes. These eight offenses are used to calculate the crime index and crime rates. Part II offenses include: 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. Other Assaults - Simple Forgery and Counterfeiting Fraud Embezzlement Stolen Property: Buying, Receiving, Possessing Vandalism Weapons: Carrying, Possessing, Etc. Prostitution Sex Offenses (Except forcible rape and prostitution) Narcotic Drug Laws Gambling Offenses Against Family and Children Driving Under the Influence Liquor Laws Drunkenness (not reported in Arizona) Disorderly Conduct Xagrancy All Other Offenses (except traffic) Suspicion (not reported in Arizona) Curfew and Loitering Law Violations (Juveniles) Runaways (Juveniles) Note: Only arrests are counted for Part II offenses. All offenses are classified on the basis of law enforcement officer investigation in accordance xii For robbery and larceny-theft, one offense is counted for each distinct operation which is separate in time and place. The number of victims in any one operation does not determine the number of offenses. For burglary, one offense is counted for each structure which is illegally entered. However, when the structure is an apartment house, business or office building in which units are leased for a period of time, one offense is counted for each unit burglarized. For motor vehicle theft, one offense is counted for each vehicle stolen. Note: Attempts to commit any of the above are also counted as offenses, except that attempts to kill and assaults to kill are counted as aggravated assaults. For multiple offenses that occur in one crime incident, only the most serious offense is counted. Part I crimes are ranked according to seriousness and appear in order from most serious to least serious under "Classification of Offenses," above. Clearances An offense is considered cleared (solved) when at least one offender is arrested for a crime, even though several may have been involved. Offenses may also be cleared by exceptional means when the offender: commits suicide; makes a dying declaration; confesses while in custody or serving time for another crime; is prosecuted in another jurisdiction for the same offense; is a juvenile who is handled by notifying the parents; when the victim refuses to prosecute or another jurisdiction refuses to extradite the offender. Clearances are counted as "adult" and "juvenile." A "juvenile" clearance is counted only when juveniles are exclusively involved in the clearance of an offense. If the arrest of both adults and juveniles results in a clearance, it is counted as an "adult" clearance. Property Stolen and Recovered The figures for value of property stolen and recovered report the value at each point in time. Although property can increase in value over time, it is more likely that stolen property will be recovered in a damaged condition. Therefore, recovery value does not necessarily represent a "clearance rate" for stolen property, and one cannot use it to determine law enforcement effectiveness in recovering stolen goods. Because stolen and recovered property figures indicate thefts and recoveries in the current year, it is important to note that recovered property may have been stolen in a previous year. In addition, the type and value of stolen or recovered property is reported only for Part I offenses and does not include such Part II offenses as fraud, forgery or embezzlement. Arrests Arrest information is collected for all Part I and Part II offenses according to the age, sex and race of the offender. It is not possible, however, to correlate race with sex or specific ages because the information is collected independently, thus limiting analysis. Furthermore, arrest figures cannot be directly related to the number of crimes cleared because arrest totals count all offenders arrested for each offense, and clearance totals count only the offenses for which an arrest(s) or exceptional clearances have occurred. Reporting Variations and Procedures One must be aware that unintentional variations from UCR guidelines may occur that would affect the validity of the data presented in this report. Also, UCR statistics are based on crimes that are reported to law enforcement agencies, whereas many crimes are not reported. In 1983, UCR reports were received from all but two law enforcement agencies. Each contributing agency was responsible for compiling its own monthly reports. To aid in this endeavor, the Arizona UCR guide manual and the FBI UCR handbook were These manuals supplied to all contributors. outline reporting procedures in detail and are complete with examples and illustrations. Additionally, our Field Representatives provided instruction and clarification as required.

As the most aggregate representation of UCR data, it simply represents the annual ratio of crime to fixed time intervals. *iv 1983 Summary of Arizona Crimes and Arrests CRIME INDEX - The number of reported index crimes* in Arizona (including arson) decreased from 203,307 in 1982 to 190,101 in 1983. This represents a 6.5 percent reduction and marks the third year in a row that the number of reported crimes has decreased. CRIME RATE - The overall index crime rate decreased from 70.4 per 1,000 population in 1982 to 64.5 in 1983. The 1983 rate is about 22% lower than the rate recorded in 1975 when the first Crime in Arizona Report was published, and is the lowest recorded since 1972. VIOLENT CRIMES - 14,556 violent crimes were reported in 1983, a decrease of slightly less than one percent from 1982. Although violent crimes have fluctuated more markedly than property crimes, their effect on the crime index is minimal since they typically comprise only about 7 percent of all index crimes. PROPERTY CRIMES - There were 175,545 property crimes reported in 1983, a decrease of about 7 percent from 1982, and an increase of only 2 percent when compared with the 1975 figure. Property crimes average about 93 percent of all index crimes in Arizona. MURDER - 208 murders were reported in 1983, which is 25 fewer than in 1982. Murder and non-negligent manslaughter represent only about one-tenth of one percent of all index crimes. FORCIBLE RAPE - The 1,238 rapes reported in 1983 represented a 14.4% increase over 1982. Rape is one of the three index crimes (along with aggravated assault and motor vehicle theft) for which increases in absolute numbers were recorded between 1982 and 1983. It also had the highest percentage increase of the eight serious crimes. One explanation for this may be an increase in the incidence of reporting. ROBBERY - There were 3,917 robberies reported for 1983, down from 4,516 in 1982. The decline of 13.3% is the biggest single decrease of the eight index offenses. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT - Arizonans reported 9,193 aggravated assaults in 1983, an increase of 3.8% over 1982. Aggravated assault is the most common (63%) of all violent crimes. BURGLARY - Burglaries decreased by almost 8% to 49,201 in 1983. When compared with the 1975 figure, this represents an 11.4% decline. Burglaries are the second largest single category of index crimes and accounted for nearly one-fourth of the total in 1983. The 114,344 larceny-thefts reported in 1983 constituted the single LARCENY-THEFT biggest category of reported crime (over 60% of the total crime index). The 1983 number represented a decline of slightly over 7% when compared with 1982. MOTOR VEHICLE THEFT - There were 10,539 motor vehicle thefts in 1983, an increase of less than one percent over 1982. The 1983 figure is still 7% less than the 11,337 reported in 1975. ARSON - Arson was first reported as an index crime in 1979. Since then there have been steady decreases in the number reported annually. The 1983 figure of 1,461 is about 12% lower than reported in 1982. CRIME FORECASTS - Index crimes are projected to decrease further in 1984, but at a slower rate of decline. The outlook for 1985 is for a continued leveling off of the decline that started after 1980. - There were a total of 160,020 arrests carried out by law enforcement TOTAL ARRESTS officers in 1983, an increase of 1.5% over the 1982 number. CRIME INDEX ARRESTS - Of all arrests, 39,858 (25%) were for crime index offenses. Data The 1983 number shows a negligible for 1975-1983 shows the same relative proportion. decrease from the 1982 figure. ARRESTS FOR PART II OFFENSES - Roughly three-quarters of all arrests are for Part II offenses, with 120,162 made in 1983. This was 2% more than in 1982. About one-third of all arrests in this category between 1980 and 1983 were for "Driving Under the Influence." CLEARANCES - There were 40,934 clearances recorded in 1983, a 1.4% increase compared with 1982. Between 1975 and 1983, an average of 11% of all clearances were "due to exceptional circumstances", such as refusal of the victim to prosecute. * See Glossary in the Appendix for definitions. xv SECTION 1: OVERVIEW OF INDEX CRIME IN ARIZONA TOTAL INDEX CRIMES population to 64.50 during the same period, a decline of 21.8%. This indicates that, since 1980, Although Arizona has one of the highest crime rates the increase in population has not been matched by in the nationl, the total number of index crime:: a proportionate increase in reported crime. Figure reported in the state decreased by 6.5% from 1 is 203,307 in 1982 to 190,101 in 1983. 1983 was the a graphic representation of the annual percentage change in population, crime index and third year in a row that the crime index declined crime rate since 1975. from a high of 223,643 recorded in 1980, the peak with 1983 and shows the percentage change between year since the first Crime In Arizona Report was the two years for each of the index crimes.

Hence, murder, the most serious crime, is first in this order. Property crimes account for the bulk (93%) of reported crimes and thus are the main determinants of dynamics in the crime index. Table 1.5 shows that larceny-thefts comprise the majority (63%) of all property crimes, with burglary less than a third, and motor vehicle thefts and arson about 7% combined. Violent crimes in Arizona comprise about 7% of the total crime index. In the years since 1975, reported murders and rapes combined averaged less than a tenth of total violent crimes, robberies less than a third, but aggravated assault accounted for more than 60%. This pattern has been fairly consistent (See Table 1.3).. The property crime rate has varied from a low of 60 per 1,000 population in 1983 to a high of 77 in 1975. However, property crimes have been The violent crime rate has fluctuated from a low of 4.5 in 1976 to a high of 6.5 in 1980.

These reductions in Maricopa County's crime index and index crime rate contributed significantly to lowering the state-wide index and crime rate in 1983. Further analysis of index crime rates by county suggests that crime is typically more prevalent in metropolitan areas and communities with high This pattern mirrors the transient populations. findings of national studies which indicate that counties with the highest crime rates tend to be very urban or resort areas; those with the lowest rates tend to be very rural2.

Property crimes accounted for 98% of the total dollar value of stolen property; 2% was stolen in conjunction with the commission of violent crimes. Almost 87% of the property stolen occurred in the metropolitan centers of Maricopa and Pima Counties (See Table 1.9). The same two counties accounted for 84% of the value of property recovered. Table 1.10 shows that there was a 3% increase in the value of stolen goods between 1982 and 1983, and a 21% increase in the value of property recovered by law enforcement agencies in 1983.

SECTION 2: STATE CRIME PROJECTIONS PURPOSE AND METHODOLOGY When crime forecasts are accurate, policy makers and criminal justice administrators can use this information to help decide on criminal justice policy and efficiently allocate limited resources. Furthermore, criminal justice planners can use this knowledge of future crime trends to estimate the potential impact of new crime deterrence programs and policies. However, the accuracy of past forecasts can only be judged when actual values are in hand. Consequently, appropriateness and reliability of the forecasting method are the critical factors in deriving useful forecasts. Box-Jenkins3 forecasting method. This method involves a three-stage iterative process of developing an Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARINA) time-series model, from which forecasts are derived. Because an ARIMA model utilizes all available information from the time-series data, such as trend, seasonality and characteristics of the residuals, this method is generally regarded as the most appropriate for short-term forecasts of crime. Projections in this report were developed using the FIGURE INDEX CRIMES BY MONTH: ARIZONA, 1976-1985 Number of Reported Offenses 20,000 . 1 19,000 18,000] 17,0001 18,0001 is,000i 14,000: HISTORICAL 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 PROJECTED 1984 1985 SEASONALLY-ADJUSTED ESTIMATED TREND: --11 COMPARISON OF LAST YEAR'S FORECASTS TO ACTUAL REPORTED CRIMES Since this same method was used in the 1982 Crime in Arizona report to project 1983 index crimes, the accuracy and to a lesser degree the reliability of the Box-Jenkins method can be addressed in this report. Table 2.1 compares the 1983 forecasts with the actual monthly crimes reported in Arizona during 1983. The percentage error in the forecasts ranges from 5.9 to -.4 percent, with a 1.5 percent error for the difference between the aggregated actual and forecasted totals. The Mean Absolute Percentage Error (NAPE) for the monthly forecasts is computed at 2.6 percent. NAPE is a common measure of forecasting accuracy, and a value of 5 percent or less is usually considered the benchmark for establishing method accuracy4. The accuracy of the 1983 projection is further indicated in the pattern of the forecasts which accurately parallel the seasonal nature of crime in Arizona, with highs in March and August and lows in This comparison, though June and November. limited, suggests that the Box-Jenkins method can provide useful forecasts of crime in Arizona. PROJECTIONS FOR 1984 and 1985 With reasonable confidence, forecasts of index crimes (excluding arson) for 1984 and 1985 are In Figure 6, these presented in Table 2.2. estimates are graphically displayed along with the actual 1976 to 1983 monthly crime values from which the forecasts were derived. Reported crimes in Arizona are projected to slowly continue downward in 1984 and 1985, but this decline will level off from the dramatic decrease experienced since early 1981. In the longer term, index crime rates should continue on a downward trend through the end of the decade, but still remain above the national average.

Except for a slight decrease of less than 1% between 1977 and 1978, total arrests by law enforcement officers in Arizona have been climbing steadily since 1975. Table 4.1 shows the total number of arrests by year, subdivided by those for Part I and Part II offenses. Arrests for index crimes (Part I) have averaged one-fourth of total annual arrests; 75% were for Part II offenses. By far the most common apprehensions under Part II (about a third) were DWI arrests. Although the crime index peaked in 1980 and has since been declining, Table 4.1 indicates that arrests for serious crimes have been rising. 1980 and 1981 saw rather large percentage increases in the volume of arrests, and the total number for 1983 holds the record thus far. There is some speculation that the increases from 1979 onwards could be related to several factors, among which are the revisions to Arizona's Criminal Code in 1978 and to more widespread "get tough" attitudes in society towards criminal offenders. Over the past decade crime and lawlessness have ranked alongside economic problems of unemployment and inflation as the public issues generating the most concern5. The changes to the Criminal Code, among other things, expanded mandatory sentencing for certain offenses and increased the number of acts that could be defined as "criminal", especially in' the white-collar crime statutes. VIOLENT vs. PROPERTY CRIME ARRESTS A substantially higher percentage of arrests are made for violent crimes compared to property crimes. In the period 1975-83, 43.7% of violent crimes resulted in an arrest compared to 15.4% for property crimes. Table 10 in the Appendix shows the number of arrests by specific index crime for the period 1975-83. Among violent crimes, homicide by far has the highest percentage of arrests. In the period 1981-83, an average of 72.8% of homicides resulted in an arrest. Arrests for aggravated assault were second with 46.1%; robbery was third with 30.1%, followed by rape with 29.5%. With the exception of aggravated assault, these percentages are below what they were in the period 1975-78.

Since the period showed a steady increase. 1975-78, the percent of arrests for homicides decreased by 10.5%, robbery by 5.4%, and rape by 15.6%. Aggravated assault showed the only increase in this time period with a 6.0% jump (Figure 28).

Arson was followed by larceny with 19.7%, burglary with 13.8%, and motor vehicle theft with 12.1%.

From the standpoint of criminal activity, the "at-risk" group, which has been identified as those aged 15 to 24, comprised 19% of the general population in 1983 but made up almost half (45%) of all arrested persons. which the highest number of females were arrested was larceny-theft (7,552 or 86% of all serious crime arrests in which females were involved). ARRESTS FOR PART II OFFENSES Part II offenses are not reported to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program in the same way as Part I offenses. Instead, only the number of arrests for each of these violations are recorded. There is thus no method of determining how often these offenses occur because more than one individual may be arrested for a particular offense. However, it is possible to identify the extent to which specific groups by age and sex are involved in a particular type of offense. Data for 1980 to 1983 show that: Data for the nation as a whole indicates that the intensity of criminal activity slackens after the mid-20's except for a minority of offenders6, and arrests for property crimes are more likely to involve youths under age 18 than older persons. In Arizona, as throughout the United States. property crime arrests peak at age 16 (See Fig. 32 and Appendix Table 11). Arrests for violent crimes peak at age 17 in Arizona; and for the nation as a whole, at age 18. The preponderance of young people (especially males) among those arrested for property crimes is attributed by the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics to their "lack of experience in offending and also to their involvement in the types of crimes for which apprehension is more likely; for example, purse snatching vs. fraud. 4oreover, since youths often commit crimes in groups, the resolution of a single crime may lead to several arrests"7. • The greatest number of juvenile males are arrested for liquor law violations and vandalism; • juvenile females are apprehended most often for being runaways and also for liquor law violations; • adult males are arrested most often for DWI, liquor law violations and disorderly conduct; and A total of 27,474 females in Arizona were arrested in 1983 (17% of all arrested persons). Of this number, 70% were adults.

The data indicate the very large role that alcohol consumption plays in the commission of Part II crimes. Fig. 33 shows that Part II offense arrests peak at age 18; while greater numbers of older people are arrested for Part II than for Part I offenses, there is a preponderance of young people involved in both types of criminal activity. ARRESTS BY RACE/SPANISH ORIGIN According to the Bureau of Census8, Arizona had 2.7 million people residing in the state in 1980. They were classified into race/Spanish origin categories indicated in Table 4.4. Arizona has greater proportions of American Indians (5.6%) and people of Hispanic origin (16.2%) than the average for the United States as a whole (0.1% and 6.5%, respectively). Table 4.4 also shows that all groups except "Other" and "Non-Hispanic" exhibit higher percentages of the total number of arrests when compared with their relative proportions in the State's population. The proportions are especially high for Hispanics and Blacks. CLEARANCES Clearances are a measure by which law enforcement agencies determine the number of cases that are solved. The vast majority of clearances (89%) are based upon arrests of suspects. However, as may be inferred from the preceding discussion of arrests, many crimes (especially property crimes) are committed for which no arrests are made. Clearances by "exceptional circumstances" comprise the remaining 11% of all clearances. Table 4.6 gives the total number of annual clearances from 1975 to 1983. Because clearances during any given year do not necessarily relate to index crimes committed in the same year, they should not be viewed as the criterion for measuring the effectiveness with which crimes are resolved in that period. Furthermore, since some criminal offenders are responsible for committing more than one crime, many offenses may, therefore, be "cleared" with the apprehension of only one offender. Conversely, other arrested individuals may have been involved in the commission of only one crime. Table 4.7 shows the number of clearances for each individual index crime, as well as motor vehicle recoveries. Arrests for crime index offenses reflect even greater differences in the percentage of ethnic minorities being apprehended (See Table 4.5). Blacks accounted for 15% of arrests for violent crimes and 9% of arrests for property crimes. Hispanics make up 26% of arrests for violent offenses and almost 21% of property crime arrests. Arrests in Arizona appear to mirror the pattern for the United States in which a relatively large proportion of offenders come from ethnic minority groups9. However, to put the numbers in perspective, it must be emphasized that membership in a particular race or ethnic group does not cause the propensity to indulge in criminal behavior. Certain factors may be associated with the backgrounds of groups of offenders, but these factors do not signify why crimes are committed. 49 % DISTRIBUTION OF TOTAL ARRESTS BY RACE /SPANISH ORIGIN: ARIZONA, 1980-83 Table 4.4 POPULATION 1980 % RACE/SPANISH ORIGIN AVERAGE ANNUAL ARRESTS, 1980-82 % 1983 ARRESTS % WHITE 82.4 84.6 84.9 BLACK 2.8 7.0 7.3 AMERICAN INDIAN (INCLUDING ALASKAN NATIVE) 5.6 8.1 7.6 OTHER (INCLUDING ASIAN/PACIFIC ISLANDER) 9.2 0.2 0.3 r.
