Abstract
This report, prepared by the Wisconsin Office of Justice Assistance, Statistical Analysis Center is a collection of arrest data reported by Wisconsin law enforcement agencies in 2010 and contains detailed information on arrest volume, rates, and trends for law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Wisconsin. In addition, it provides information on arrestee characteristics such as age, race, and sex for five separate crime categories: Violent, Property, Drug, Society, and Other. The report also includes a breakdown of arrests by adults and juveniles. Results show that between 2009 and 2010, the State of Wisconsin experienced a 10 percent decrease in the number of overall arrests. The number of violent arrests, however, increased by 1 percent, while the number of property arrests decreased by 10 percent.
