Abstract
This report and the attached appendixes provide the most recent information available on the number of Index crimes and rates per 100,000 populations for each county in New York State. County population data are provided every year by the FBI based on U.S. Census estimates and are used to calculate crime rates. Crime counts are based on official crime reports submitted to DCJS through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) and Incident Based Reporting (IBR) programs. Index offenses include the violent crimes of murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault, and the property crimes of burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft. Because of their seriousness and frequency, these crimes are used by DCJS and the FBI as indicators of overall crime trends. These figures include all reports received by DCJS as of October 16, 2012.
