POLICE INFORMATION NETWORK FOREWORD

HOWARD M. LIVINGSTON director In recent years the people of our State rightfully have become apprehensive about in* creasing crime and violence. The evidence of the Increase has been apparent to them. They have heard of crimes committed in their own neighborhoods and perhaps themselves have been victims. They have seen the television reports and read of the commission of crime after crime In their local newspapers. But due to a lack of truly reflective criminal statistics, neither members of the public nor criminal justice officials have been able to understand the nature of crime or the real level of criminal activity in North Carolina. We in the Department of Justice felt that we no longer could rely upon guess work, sporadic reporting and some times even intuition to provide a picture of crime in this State. If we were to plan and develop more effective law enforcement services and improve the total criminal justice system, we simply had to know the kinds of crimes being committed, where they were being committed, with what frequency they were being committed, the rate of apprehension and the disposition of the cases. For this reason, we strongly advocated the development of a Statewide uniform crime repor­ ting program In North Carolina. It seemed '.oglcal to us that this function be placed in the Police Information Network, a division of the North Carolina Department of Justice, since it had a func­ tioning computer system and already had established excellent' rapport with many of the State's local law enforcement agencies. . We believe this choice was wise because with the program only a few months old, we have attained a high degree of cooperation from local law enforcement officials. We could hardly be more pleased with the voluntary efforts made to create a sound uniform crime reporting system. As a result, this Initial UCR progress report has been compiled and is, in my opinion, a 111 EAST NORTH STREET testimonial to the progressive outlook of North Carolina law enforcement officials and their UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA 27601 desire to achieve an even higher degree of professionalism.

Plans have been formulated to redefine the districts as indicated by the map below. Eight dis­ tricts are necessary with an addition of two field representatives. An eight district arrangement Implementation of the UCR Program will greatly increase efficiency in terms of actual work performed. For Uniform Crime Reporting purposes·the Police Information Network divided the state into six (6) districts. A field representative was assigned to reside in each district and provide assistance to the 60 to 70 district law enforcement agencies concerning participation in the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. In early January, 1973, district UCR orientation sessions were held in conjunction with the FBI. The sessions were held in preparation for receiving in early February, Uniform Crime reports representing the month of January (the first month of statewide Uniform Crime Repor­ ting to the Police Information Network.) Each district meeting was a two day sesssion. The first days session was attended by law enforcement agencies who had previously contributed UCR returns directly to the FBI In Washington, D. C. The second days session was attended byagen­ cies who had never participated In the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. The purpose of the district meetings was to orient North Carolina agencies to the fact that the Police 'Information PIN Field Representatives Network had assumed the statewide administration of the UCR program.

The Police Information Network is also planning to make UCR statistical information Law available to PIN terminal users on an inquiry basis.

THE INDEX Or CRIME The crime index offense table can be used to indicate the probable extent, fluctuation, and N. C. CRIME CLOCK distribution of crime for the State of North Carolina ~s a whole, geographic divisions, individual counties, individual cities arid towns and standard metropolitan statistical areas. The measure used is a Crime Index consisting of seven important offenses which are counted as they become known to the law enforcement agencies. Crime classifications used in the Index are: Murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burg­ lary-breaking and entering, larceny, and auto theft. The total number of criminal acts that occur is unknown, but those that are reported to Law Enforcement provide the first means of a count. Not all crimes come readily to the attention of Law Enforcement; not all crimes are of sufficient irhportance to be significant in an index; and not all important crimes occur with enough regularity to be meaningful in an Index. With these considerations in mind, the crimes below were selected as a group to furnish an abbreviated and convenient measure of the crime problem. Uniform Crime Reporting Index Offense Definitions During the first six months of 1973 Crime 1. Murder - The willful killing of another. Index Offenses came to the attention of N. C. Law 2. Rape - The carnal knowledge of a female through the use of force or the threat of force. Enforcement Officers every 24 hours as follows: 3.

NORTH CAROLINA ARREST DATA JANUARY - JUNE, 1973 Arrest statistics reflecting characteristics of persons arrested by age, sex, and race, are collected monthly from contributing law enforcement agencies. In examining these arrest figures it is important to remember that the same person may be arrested several times during one year for the same type or for different offenses. Each arrest is counted. Further, the arrest of one person may solve several crimes and, in other instances, two or more persons may be arrested during the solution of one crime. Arrests are primarily a measure of police activity, as it relc;ltes to crime. Although police arrest practices vary, particularly with respect to juveniles, contributors to this Program are instructed to count one arrest each time an individual is taken into custody for committing a specific crime. A juvenile is counted as a person arrested when he commits an offense and the circumstances are such that if the offender were an adult, an arrest would be made.

The circumstances which result in murder vary from family arguments to felonious activities. Criminal homicide is largely a societal problem which is beyond the control of police. The cir­ PERCENT DISTRIBUTION BY DAY OF WEEK cumstances of murder serve to emphasize this point. During the first six months of 1973, murder within the family made up approximately one­ fourth of all murder offenses. Approximately two thirds of these family killings involved spouse killing spouse.
