Crime in Louisiana - The Publication

This publication of Crime in Louisiana is to provide the reader with the most current certified information available regarding the number of offenses reported and arrests by Louisiana law enforcement agencies. The information is designed to increase public awareness and understanding of such issues that impact the law enforcement and criminal justice agencies in Louisiana.

Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 18,000 cities, universities, colleges, parishes, states, tribes, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. Since 1930, the FBI has administered the UCR Program and has continued to assess and monitor the nature and type of crime in the nation. The UCR programs primary program objective is to generate reliable information for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management; however, the data has become one of the country’s leading social indicators. Criminologists, sociologists, legislators, municipal planners, media, and other students of criminal justice use the data for varied research and planning purposes.

Currently, the UCR Program is comprised of four subprograms: the UCR, LIBRS / NIBRS, the LEOKA Program, and the Hate Crime Statistics Program.

In 2017, active law enforcement agencies participating in the UCR Program represented nearly 314 million United States inhabitants (97.7 percent of the total population). The coverage amounted to 98.6 percent of the population in Metropolitan Statistical Areas, 91.6 percent of the population in cities outside metropolitan areas, and 92.6 percent of the population in nonmetropolitan counties.

To provide a picture of the changes in crime across the country and to provide useful data to Louisiana police agencies, statistics gathered are incumbent in recognizing problems in Louisiana. Statistics of criminal acts deemed most serious, most pervasive across the country, most likely to be reported, and most frequently committed are counted in the UCR Program. The Part I offense classifications include: violent crimes: murder and non-negligent manslaughter, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault; and burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft. Congressional mandated arson was added as a Part I offense category in 1979, and human trafficking, commercial sex acts, and involuntary servitude were added as Part I offenses in 2016.

Acknowledgment of 2017 Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Agencies

Although UCR is mandated by Louisiana Revised Statute 15:1204.2, the following agencies participating in reporting crime data to the State of Louisiana is greatly appreciated. We realize that it is their willingness to support the program and their dedication that make the program a success.

We would like to acknowledge the following law enforcement agencies for their participation in Summary Uniform Crime Reporting. The FBI only includes the agencies that have reported for all 12 months of a calendar year and therefore will be reflected in the data.

Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)

The United States Bureau of Census defines Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) as a parish (county) or group of contiguous parishes that contain at least one principal city or urbanized area with a population of at least 50,000 inhabitants. MSA’s include: principal city, parish in which the city is located, and other adjacent parishes that have, as defined by the OMB (Office of Management and Budget), a high degree of economic and social integration with the principal and parish as measured through commuting. In the UCR Program, parishes within an MSA are considered metropolitan and can cross state boundaries. The only MSA in Louisiana that currently has the potential to cross a state line is the Shreveport/Bossier MSA.

The tables and graphs that follow show the number of offenses in metropolitan statistical areas, parishes, cities, and metropolitan versus non-metropolitan areas of Louisiana in 2017. The tables capture a snapshot of Part 1 crimes. Only agencies that reported all 12 months of data are included in these tables.

Louisiana’s Incident Based Reporting System (LIBRS)

The ongoing effort of the Summary Uniform Crime Reporting Program has developed the Louisiana Incident-Based Reporting System (LIBRS). This system is a detailed form of reporting and the law enforcement agencies in the 1980's to better define the needs of law enforcement. Incident-Based Reporting will enhance the quantity, quality, and timeliness of statistical data collected by the law enforcement community. This system will improve the methodology used for compiling, analyzing, auditing, and publishing collected crime data.

Incident-Based Reporting is a system that collects information on an incident by incident basis. The system provides data on all of the crimes that occur during a criminal incident, unlike the Summary UCR System that follows the “Hierarchy Rule” which will list the most serious offense and not record the others. An example: the murder of a woman that has been robbed, beaten, and raped would only document the murder and not the other three crimes. LIBRS would record the murder, robbery, and the rape as three offenses although the offenses occurred at one time. The LIBRS system includes a category called “Crimes Against Society” which produces data on crimes such as drug and narcotic offenses. Another important feature of IBR is the expansion of victim-to-offender relationships.

The system will also have increased “circumstances” reporting, where more information will be collected in the area of circumstances involved in the offense. There will be more correlation between offenses, property, victims, offenders, and arrestees, all pertinent information necessary in crime analysis. In addition, a new area of social concern, hate crimes, has been included in LIBRS. Hate crimes are crimes that show prejudice and bias toward a group of people or an individual member of a group. Federal law includes the areas of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and religion in its definition of hate crime.

LIBRS is to serve several functions and to replace the Summary UCR as the base statistical system for crime data in the state. Secondly, this system is intended to provide the additional statistical information necessary to properly plan modifications to the state criminal justice system. Examples of this includes: determining the need for additional state prison or local jail space and the need for additional law enforcement officers. In addition, this system will help determine the impact of proposed changes in terms of both cost and programmatic effect.

LIBRS is also a part of a larger effort to improve criminal justice records at the local level where the system serves to standardize the information collected at point of incident, point of arrest, and to create standards for the electronic transfer of law enforcement data statewide.

In March 2003, the LIBRS program received FBI (NIBRS) certification. LIBRS is available to law enforcement agencies at no cost to the agencies. The LIBRS and LUCR staff is working diligently to transition more agencies to LIBRS reporting which will benefit the agencies crime reporting abilities as well as the statewide efforts to report crime in more detail.

Appendix A - Definitions

Definition of Terms

Arrest: Arrest is the taking of a person into custody by law enforcement with the intention of seeking charges and recording the detention. Persons who are served a citation or a summons for committing an offense are counted as arrested. Juveniles taken into custody, counseled, and released without being charged are counted as arrested. Arrest data does not include traffic offenses with the exception of DWI.

Crime Rate: The number of Index Offenses reported within a specific geographic area, divided by the population of the area, produces a crime rate per capita statistic. This is then scaled to represent some standard population unit, such as the factor 100,000 utilized by the FBI in scaling their national and regional crime statistics. Thus, “Crime Rate Per Capita” multiplied by 100,000 produces the statistic commonly referred to as “Crime Per 100,000 Population” or more frequently, simply, “Crime Rate.” Single and multi-jurisdictional areas can then be compared to each other, without regard to population variation.

Index Crime: A term devised by the International Association of Chiefs of Police for use in their Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Recognizing the problem, among others, of coping with volume, they decided that only those criminal acts deemed most serious, most pervasive across the country, most likely to be reported and most frequently committed would be counted. Furthermore, they decided to include only criminal acts brought to the attention of police, whether or not there was an arrest. As a result, seven crimes were chosen and standardized definitions were created to assure uniformity. Those seven offenses were murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny theft, and motor vehicle theft. Many years later the crime of arson was added.

LA-LEMIS (Louisiana Law Enforcement Management Information System): This is the RMS (Record Management System) software that Louisiana developed for agencies to use. It is LIBRS compliant and currently we have more agencies certified with this RMS software than any others.

LIBRS (Louisiana Incident Based Reporting System): LIBRS certified agencies are no longer required to generate and submit UCR paper reports. Their monthly LIBRS data submissions are converted to NIBRS specifications by the LIBRS computer system and submitted to the FBI electronically. LIBRS was certified by the FBI as NIBRS compliant in March 2003.

Crime in Louisiana 2017 111 | P a g e

LUCR (Louisiana Uniform Crime Reporting Program). The LUCR program is comprised of the Summary UCR Unit, Louisiana Incident Based Reporting System (LIBRS) and the Louisiana Law Enforcement Management Information System (LA-LEMIS).

NIBRS (National Incident Based Reporting System): A redesign of UCR, NIBRS is the FBI’s incident-based reporting system. It is an electronic data collection system modernizing crime information. A more detailed form of crime reporting, it incorporates information not captured by UCR regarding the circumstances involved in incidents. It includes more correlation between offenses, property, victims, offenders and arrestees and expands the crimes included to 22 categories. In order to submit NIBRS data, an agency’s records management system must be compliant with LIBRS.

Offenses Reported: Sometimes referred to as a crime occurrence, this term refers to actual offenses reported or made known to law enforcement agencies. Offenses reported, but later determined to be “unfounded,” are excluded from the final tabulation of crime statistics used by the FBI for publication in Crime in the United States. The final figures used are referred to as “Actual Offenses.”

UCR (Uniform Crime Reporting): The Summary UCR unit is responsible for collecting crime statistics and performing quality assurance functions prior to forwarding the statistics to the FBI. Early stages of development for the Summary UCR program began in 1991, and by 1993 Louisiana’s Program was certified by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Offense Definitions

Since the FBI began phasing in incident-based reporting, they found this was an appropriate time to make a few definitional changes. To help the reader make a comparison between the UCR and LIBRS/NIBRS offenses, the definitions are sectioned by UCR and then LIBRS/ NIBRS on the following pages.

Crime in Louisiana 2017 112 | P a g e

Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Definitions

Aggravated Assault: An unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting severe or aggravated bodily injury. This type of assault usually is accompanied by the use of a weapon or by means likely to produce death or great bodily harm. Simple assaults are excluded.

Arson: Any willful or malicious burning or attempt to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc. Arson statistics are not included in this table-building tool.

Burglary / Breaking and Entering: The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or a theft. Attempted forcible entry is included.

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter: The willful (non-negligent) killing of one human being by another. Deaths caused by negligence, attempts to kill, assaults to kill, suicides, and accidental deaths are excluded. The program classifies justifiable homicides separately and limits the definition to: (1) the killing of a felon by a law enforcement officer in the willful line of duty; or (2) the killing of a felon, during the commission of a felony, by a private citizen.

Manslaughter by negligence: The killing of another person through gross negligence. Deaths of persons due to their own negligence, accidental deaths not resulting from gross negligence, and traffic fatalities are not included in the category Manslaughter by negligence.

Larceny / Theft (except motor vehicle theft): The unlawful taking, carrying, leading, or riding away of property from the possession or constructive possession of another. Examples are thefts of bicycles, motor vehicle parts and accessories, shoplifting, pocket picking, or the stealing of any property or article that is not taken by force and violence or by fraud. Attempted larcenies are included. Embezzlement, confidence games, forgery, check-fraud, etc., are excluded.

Motor Vehicle Theft: The theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle. A motor vehicle is self-propelled and runs on land surface and not on rails. Motorboats, construction equipment, airplanes, and farming equipment are specifically excluded from this category.

Non-violent Crime: In UCR the crimes of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson are referred to as Property Crimes. For this publication, they are referred to as non-violent crimes.

Robbery: The taking, or attempting to take, anything of value from the care, custody, or control of a person or persons by force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear.

Crime in Louisiana 2017 113 | P a g e

Forcible Rape / Legacy Rape: The carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will. Rapes by force and attempts or assaults to rape, regardless of the age of the victim, are included. Statutory offenses (no force used—victim under age of consent) are excluded.

Revised Rape: Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim. Attempts or assault to commit rape are also included; however, statutory rape and incest are excluded. In December 2011, the UCR program changed its definition of SRS rape to this revised definition. This change can be seen in the UCR data starting in 2013. Any data reported under the older definition of rape will be called “legacy rape”.

** Additional information on the definition change of “rape” can be found in Appendix B - Data Characteristics and Known Limitations. **

Appendix B - Data Characteristics and Known Limitations

Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Data Characteristics

Agencies are expected to count all offenses reported to them using the national definitions, disregarding state or local statutes. Because these statistics are meant to assist law enforcement in identifying the crime problem, the decision of a prosecutor, or the findings of a court, coroner, or jury are not taken into consideration in counting offenses. Previously reported criminal offenses that have been determined through investigation to be unfounded or false are eliminated from an agency’s count. The number of actual offenses known (the final figure used for statistical purposes) counts all offenses regardless if anyone is arrested for the crime, stolen property is recovered, or prosecution is undertaken.

In addition, the Summary UCR Program uses the Hierarchy Rule. In this system, the Part 1 offenses are ranked in a specific order. In multiple-offense situations, the rule requires counting only the highest offense on the list of Part I offenses and ignoring all other offenses. Justifiable homicide, motor vehicle theft, human trafficking, and arson are exceptions to the rule.

Data is collected on arrests for all crimes with the exception of traffic violations. The age, race, and sex of offenders are recorded for both adults and juveniles. Because identities of individuals are not involved, confidentiality laws pertaining to juveniles do not preclude their inclusion in the statistical count.

Jurisdictional guidelines were developed to prevent duplication in reporting and to accurately depict the nature and volume of crime in a community. They were not intended to indicate which agency claims or takes credit for an investigation or arrest. The guidelines, simplified, state that police report offenses within their city jurisdiction and sheriffs’ report those offenses outside the city jurisdiction. Agencies count arrests for offenses committed and recovery of property for items reported stolen within their jurisdiction.

Crime in Louisiana 2017 120 | P a g e

Limitations of Rankings and Factors Affecting Crime Rate

UCR data are sometimes used to compile rankings of individual jurisdictions and institutions of higher learning. These incomplete analyses have often created misleading perceptions, which adversely affect geographic entities and their residents.

Data users should not rank locales because there are many factors that cause the nature and type of crime to vary from place to place. UCR statistics include only jurisdictional population figures along with reported crime, clearance, or arrest data. Rankings ignore the uniqueness of each locale.

Some factors that are known to affect the volume and type of crime occurring from place to place are:

• Population density and degree of urbanization.

• Variations in composition of the population, particularly youth concentration.

• Stability of the population with respect to residents’ mobility, commuting patterns, and transient factors.

• Economic conditions, including median income, poverty level, and job availability.

• Modes of transportation and highway systems.

• Cultural factors and educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.

• Family conditions with respect to divorce and family cohesiveness.

• Climate.

• Effective strength of law enforcement agencies.

• Administrative and investigative emphasis on law enforcement.

• Policies of other components of the criminal justice system (i.e., prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and probational).

• Citizens’ attitudes toward crime.

• Crime reporting practices of the citizenry.

Obvious difficulties in the identification, documentation, and measurement of these factors; however, precluded their application in this report. Those factors presented were listed to affirm their existence within the parish and community and to provide a base for consideration in the

Crime in Louisiana 2017 121 | P a g e

evaluation of that community’s crime experience. Data should not be used to calculate the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in Louisiana.

Census Data

The data included shows reported crime statistics in the state, and is reflective of the 2017 Census Survey, which shows a population of 4,663,461. Source: https//www.census.gov/quickfacts/table/PSTO45215/22.

Revised Rape

In December 2011, FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III, approved revisions to the UCR Program’s definition of rape: “Penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim.” The revised definition is the collaborative effort of the FBI’s CJIS Advisory Policy Board (APB), which is made up of representatives from all facets of law enforcement, and staff from the FBI UCR Program with input from the Department of Justice’s Office of Violence Against Women, the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the Major County Sheriff’s Association, the Major City Chiefs, the National Sheriffs’ Association, the Police Executive Research Forum, and victim advocacy groups, such as the Women’s Law Project.

Proponents of the new definition and term omission say that the changes broaden the scope of the previously narrow definitions by capturing gender neutrality, the penetration of any bodily orifice, penetration by any object or body part, and offenses in which physical force is not involved. Now instances in which offenders use drugs or alcohol on victims who know them or offenders who sodomize victims of the same gender will be counted as rape for statistical purposes.

Since the FBI began collecting data using the new definition of rape in January 2013, program officials expect that the number of reported rapes will rise. According to David Cuthbertson, FBI Assistant Director of the CJIS Division, “As we implement this change, the FBI is confident

Crime in Louisiana 2017 122 | P a g e

that the number of victims of this heinous crime will be more accurately reflected in national crime statistics.”

In Spring 2016, FBI Director James B. Comey approved the recommendation of the FBI Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Advisory Policy Board, to discontinue the reporting of historical rape data to the UCR Program by January 2017.

Violent Crime Data

The violent crime figures include the offenses of murder, rape (revised definition), robbery, and aggravated assault.

Homicide Data

Homicide (murder and non-negligent manslaughter) is the willful, non-negligent killing of one human being by another. The classification of this offense is based solely on police investigation as opposed to the determination of a court, medical examiner, coroner, jury, or other judicial body. Not included in the count for this offense classification are deaths caused by negligence, suicide, accident, justifiable homicides, and attempts to murder or assault to murder, which are scored as aggravated assaults. In addition, it is possible that some homicide investigations are still in progress and this could affect these figures.

 Type of Weapon Used During Murder, Robbery, and Aggravated Assault Data

 Homicide data in some cases does not include weapons used for all homicides reported

 The data for robberies and aggravated assaults includes only the offenses for which breakdowns were received for twelve months

Law Enforcement Officers and Employees Data

Only law enforcement agencies that submitted 12 months of data to the FBI are included.

Officers Feloniously Killed and Assaulted Data

When reviewing the tables, charts, and summaries presented in this publication, readers should be aware of certain features of the Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data collection process that could affect their interpretation of the information.

. The data in the tables and charts reflect the number of victim officers, not the number of incidents or weapons used.

. The UCR Program considers any parts of the body that can be used as weapons (such as hands, fists, or feet) to be personal weapons and designates them as such in its data.

. Law enforcement agencies use a different methodology for collecting and reporting data about officers who were killed than the methodology used for those who were assaulted. As a result, information about officers killed and information about officers assaulted reside in two separate databases, and the data are not comparable.

. Because the information in the tables of this publication is updated each year, the FBI cautions readers against making comparisons between the data in this publication and those in prior editions.

University and College Data

Student Enrollment Figures: The student enrollment figures provided by the United States Department of Education are provided for the 2016 school year, the most recent available. The enrollment figures include full-time and part-time students.

Cautions should be exercised in making any intercampus comparisons or ranking schools because university/college crime statistics are affected by a variety of factors. These include demographic characteristics of the surrounding community, ratio of male to female students, number of on-campus residents, accessibility of the campus to outside visitors, size of enrollment, etc.

Appendix C - Computational Formulas

Crime Rate:

A crime rate describes the number of crimes reported to law enforcement agencies per 100,000 total population. A crime rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported crimes by the total population; the result is multiplied by 100,000.

Crime Rate = Number of Offenses / Population x 100,000

Example: What is the crime rate for a parish with 988 number of offenses and a 14,311 population?

988 Number of Offenses = .069038 x 100,000 = 6903.8 14,311 Population

Crime Rate per inhabitants for a

.069038 / 100,000 = .07 100,000 population

Crime Trend:

A crime trend shows the extent to which crime increased or decreased. This is done by comparing a period of the current year with the same period of a previous year.

Crime Trend = Current Year Offenses - Previous Year Offenses / Previous Year Offenses x 100

What is the crime trend for a parish with 513 current year offenses and Example: 264 previous year offenses?

513 - 264 = 249 / 264 = .943 x 100 = 94%

Since 1930, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program has been collecting crime data from participating states, either from the individual agencies within the states or directly from state programs. Crime data is made available to the public in the FBI’s annual publications, Crime in the United States, Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, and Hate Crime Statistics. These statistics are also available at www.fbi.gov/ucr/ucr.htm.

Louisiana’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program

In the legislative session of 1991, House Bill 1176 passed both the House and the Senate to become Act 509 creating Louisiana Revised Statute 15:1204.2. This law created and allows for the establishment of a uniform crime reporting system in Louisiana. The Summary Uniform Crime Reporting System was the first of three components to be established. Following it, development of the Louisiana Incident Based Reporting System and the Louisiana Law Enforcement Management Information System began. The Louisiana Uniform Crime Reporting Program staff established the Summary UCR program in 1991. In September 1993, a formal request for certification was made to the FBI. In October 1993, the FBI certified the Louisiana Summary UCR program. To maintain this certification the LUCR staff must ensure the following:

The program must conform to national UCR Program standards, definitions, and 1. information requirements.

The program must be statewide, proven, and effective and must have instituted 2. acceptable quality control procedures.

Coverage within the state by the program must be: at least, equal to the national 3. program direct reporting.

The program must have adequate field staff assigned to conduct audits and to assist 4. contributing agencies in record keeping practices and crime reporting procedures.

The program must furnish to the FBI all of the detailed data regularly collected by the 5. FBI in the form of duplicate returns, computer printouts, and / or magnetic tapes.

The program must have the proven capability (tested over a period of time) to supply 6. all of the statistical data required in time to meet national UCR Program publication deadlines.

In 2017, there are numerous law enforcement agencies currently participating in submitting UCR data to the FBI. Special effort has been placed on obtaining data from the state’s Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA’s). Currently, all of the agencies within the state’s SMSA’s are reporting.

The LUCR staff continues to fulfill its responsibilities in connection with the program by quality assuring agency reports electronically submitted to the LCLE monthly for both completeness and quality. Each report submitted is examined thoroughly for arithmetical accuracy and for deviations, which may indicate errors. To ensure quality, the field staff maintains constant contact with the individual contributors. Minor errors are corrected by telephone, email or by remote access between the field agent and the agency. Site visits are conducted regularly and the field staff is “on call” at any time to give technical assistance to agencies in need. The personal contacts are invaluable to the accuracy and quality of reporting and are a vital link between the Summary UCR program and the contributors.

Periodic seminars are conducted in key areas of the state as an effort to ensure data quality and to encourage reporting. Seminar instruction includes basic information necessary to begin reporting such as classifying and scoring crimes using UCR crime definitions and preparing all the forms. In addition to seminars, “one-on-one” training sessions are conducted by field staff as needed.
