Crime Facts

Available

Not the elderly, but young people, have the highest crime victim rate in the country. Most burglars do not have to force their way into an apartment or house. Two-thirds of the people in prison had jobs, and most prisoners were not on welfare when they committed the crime for which they were incarcerated.

These facts about the nature of crime in the United States, as well as other information about criminal justice facts are contained in a booklet called “Myths and Realities About Crime.” The booklet was released recently by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and is fased on data collected for LEAA's National Crime Survey and the National Prisoner Statistics programs.

Other findings in the survey include:

+The rise in most crimes of violence and of common theft is just about keeping pace with the population growth.

+ Most crimes are against property and do not involve violence or threats to people.

+ For most personal crimes, such as robbery, assault and larceny, men are more frequently victims than are women.

-(-Weapons are used in less than half of all rapes, robberies and assaults.

-1-The victim’s likelihood of being injured in an armed confrontation is lessened if the weapon is a firearm rather than another weapon, probably because less resistance is offered to a more deadly weapon.

-(-Most crimes cannot be attributed to drug-induced behavior.

Copies of this booklet can be obtained free-of-charge through the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), P.O. Box 6000, Rockville, Maryland 20850.
