2007 Crime in Tennessee Report TENNESSEE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION 901 R.S. Gass Boulevard Nashville, Tennessee 37216-2639 (615) 744-4000 TDD (615) 744-4001 Mark Gwyn Director PHIL BREDESEN Governor April 16, 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen: I am pleased to present the 2007 Crime in Tennessee report. The information contained in the report is based upon crime statistics information submitted by all law enforcement agencies in Tennessee to TBI’s Tennessee Incident Based Reporting System (TIBRS) Program. TIBRS is the state version of the FBI’s National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Program. The report for 2007 is only being released electronically. More detailed statistical information may be found for individual agencies, counties and the state at www.tncrimeonline.com. The TBI is mandated by T.C.A. §38-10-101 et seq. to create a program to collect crime statistics from all law enforcement agencies in the state. The TIBRS program collects comprehensive data on crime incidents including information on the offense, victim, offender, arrestee and relationship between the victim and offender. Because of the type of data collected, the TIBRS program provides a more accurate and detailed depiction of the crime events in each community than the data published by the FBI in their annual Crime in the United States report. Tennessee continues to be one of the most populous states in the nation where all crime statistics are reported by NIBRS compliant agencies and the efforts by Tennessee’s law enforcement agencies are a model for the nation. The success of the TIBRS Program is the result of the continued cooperation of all law enforcement agencies in the state. The TBI continues to provide TIBRS training to commissioned and non-commissioned law enforcement personnel. Over 30,000 personnel have received training during the last several years. TBI is committed to this effort and will continue to provide the training and technical assistance necessary to collect the most accurate and comprehensive crime statistics for Tennessee and its citizens. As you review this report, please remember that we strongly discourage any ranking of the agencies. There are many demographic, socio-economic and other factors that are beyond the control of law enforcement that cause the nature and type of reported crime to vary from place to place and ranking agencies based on the reported crime numbers would not be fair to the agencies or the communities. I am very proud of the efforts of all participating law enforcement agencies in the state that allow this report to be produced. Our combined efforts have resulted in a successful program and this annual report detailing the nature of crime occurrences in our state.

  • 2013: the Geography of Trafficking in Tennessee
    TENNESSEE BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION THE GEOGRAPHY OF TRAFFICKING IN TENNESSEE 2013 Follow-up Report to the Tennessee Human Sex Trafficking and Its Impact on Children and Youth 2011 Please contact the TBI if there are any questions regarding dissemination. 1-800-TBI-FIND Tennessee Bureau of Investigation The Geography of Trafficking in Tennessee 2013 Follow-up Report to the Tennessee Human Sex Trafficking and Its Impact on Children and Youth 2011 Page intentionally left blank Letter from the Director The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is pleased to present a follow-up study to the Tennessee Human Sex Trafficking Study: The Impact on Children and Youth 2011. This follow up report profiles minor sex trafficking cases of Tennessee counties and provides statistical comparisons between cases reported from law enforcement and non-law enforcement responders. Additionally, this study analyzes data in counties that reported the highest numbers of minor sex trafficking. As of July 2013, twelve new anti-human trafficking laws have been created to address this epidemic. Domestic issues, the drug trade, poverty and other socio-economic factors serve as catalysts for human sex trafficking. It is important to analyze the Tennessee counties that were identified as having the highest rates of minor human sex trafficking to provide better awareness and focus resources in those areas of Tennessee. Numerous factors within each county have also been examined and compared in an effort to identify circumstances or conditions that may place an individual at risk for becoming a victim. As a result of the first-ever 2011 study and this follow up study, we can now make the distinction that sex trafficking is not solely an urban problem.
