Highlights

The National Crime Victimization Survey reveals
long-term declines in victimization to the lowest
per capita rates in nearly 30 years

* Overall violent victimization and property crime
rates in 2002 are the lowest recorded since the
inception of the NCVS in 1973.***Footnote 1: Based
on adjustments to pre-1992 estimates to account
for the 1992 redesign of the NCVS.***

* In 2002 the rate for rape was 0.4 per 1,000
persons age 12 or older, 60% of the 1993 rate.

* For the decade the rate for robbery was down
63%, falling to 2 per 1,000 in 2002.

* From 1993 to 2002 victimization by aggravated
assault, associated with serious injury or weapons,
declined 64% to 4 per 1,000. The rate of simple
assault -- a crime that involves neither serious injury
nor weapon -- fell 47%.

* The rate of violent crime dropped 21% from the
period 1999-2000 to the period 2001-02.

* Reporting to the police increased from 43% of all
violent crimes in 1993 to 49% in 2002; reporting of
property crimes increased from 34% to 40%.

* Violent crimes against females were more likely to
have been reported to the police than those against
males.

* The relative increase in reporting crime to the
police was greater for rape/sexual assault than it
was for robbery or simple assault, 1993-2002.

* During 2002, 7% of violent crime victims faced an
offender armed with a firearm.

In 2002 U.S. residents age 12 or older experienced about
23.0 million violent and property victimizations, according
to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). These
criminal victimizations included an estimated

- 17.5 million property crimes (burglary, motor vehicle theft,
and theft),

- 5.3 million violent crimes (rape, sexual
assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault),
and

- 155,000 personal thefts (pocket picking and purse
snatching).

The 23.0 million criminal victimizations in 2002
continued a downward trend that began in 1994.
Criminal victimization estimates are the lowest since
the 1973 estimate of 44 million victimizations when
the NCVS began.

Murder/nonnegligent manslaughter

Based on preliminary 2002 data from the FBI, the number
of persons murdered in the United States increased 0.8%
between 2001 and 2002. In 2001, 15,980 persons were
murdered; the estimate for 2002 is about 16,110 victims
of murder.

Hooffentlich wirds nix Exponentielles. Sonst haben wir noch in diesem Jh. doppelt so viele Morde! In den USA!

Schrecklich!
