Property Crime

Definition

In the FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, property crime includes the offenses of burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft and arson. The object of the theft-type offenses is the taking of money or property, but there is no force or threat of force against the victims. The property crime category includes arson because the offense involves the destruction of property; however, arson victims may be subjected to force. Because of limited participation and varying collection procedures by local law enforcement agencies, only limited data are available for arson. Arson statistics are included in trend, clearance and arrest tables throughout Crime in the United States, but they are not included in any estimated volume data. The arson section in this report provides more information on that offense.

Data collection

The data presented in Crime in the United States reflect the Hierarchy Rule, which requires that only the most serious offense in a multiple-offense criminal incident be counted. In descending order of severity, the violent crimes are murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault, followed by the property crimes of burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft. Although arson is also a property crime, the Hierarchy Rule does not apply to the offense of arson. In cases in which an arson occurs in conjunction with another violent or property crime, both crimes are reported.

Overview

In 2011, there were an estimated 9,063,173 property crime offenses in the nation.
The 2-year trend showed that property crime decreased 0.5 percent in 2011 compared with the 2010 estimate. The 5-year trend, comparing 2011 data with that of 2007, showed an 8.3 percent drop in property crime.
In 2011, the rate of property crime was estimated at 2,908.7 per 100,000 inhabitants, a 1.3 percent decrease when compared with the rate in 2010. The 2011 property crime rate was 11.2 percent lower than the 2007 rate and 19.9 percent below the 2002 rate. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)
Larceny-theft accounted for 68.0 percent of all property crimes in 2011. Burglary accounted for 24.1 percent and motor vehicle theft for 7.9 percent. (Based on Table 1.)
Property crimes in 2011 resulted in losses estimated at $15.6 billion. (Based on Table 1 and Table 23.)

Burglary

The FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines burglary as the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft. To classify an offense as a burglary, the use of force to gain entry need not have occurred. The UCR Program has three subclassifications for burglary: forcible entry, unlawful entry where no force is used and attempted forcible entry. The UCR definition of structure includes apartment, barn, house trailer or houseboat when used as a permanent dwelling, office, railroad car (but not automobile), stable and vessel (i.e., ship).

Overview

In 2011, there were an estimated 2,188,005 burglaries- an increase of 0.9 percent when compared with 2010 data.
The number of burglaries increased 1.7 percent in 2011 when compared with the 2002 estimate. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)
Of the estimated number of property crimes committed in 2011, burglary accounted for 24.1 percent. (Based on Table 1.)
By subcategory, 60.6 percent of burglaries involved forcible entry, 33. 1 percent were unlawful entries (without force) and 6.3 percent were forcible entry attempts. (See Table 19.)
Victims of burglary offenses suffered an estimated $4.8 billion in lost property in 2011; overall, the average dollar loss per burglary offense was $2,185. (Based on Table 1 and Table 23.)
Burglaries of residential properties accounted for 74.5 percent of all burglary offenses. (See Table 23.)

Expanded burglary data

Expanded offense data are the details of the various offenses that the UCR Program collects beyond the count of how many crimes law enforcement agencies report. These details may include the type of weapon used in a crime, type or value of items stolen and so forth. In addition, expanded data include trends (for example, 2-year comparisons) and rates per 100,000 inhabitants.

Expanded information regarding burglary is available in the following tables:

Trends (2-year): Table 12, Table 13, Table 14 and Table 15

Rates (per 100,000 inhabitants): Table 16, Table 17, Table 18 and Table 19

Offense Analysis: Table 23

Larceny-theft

The FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines larceny-theft as 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.

Overview

In 2011, there were an estimated 6,159,795 larceny-thefts nationwide.
The number of estimated larceny-thefts dropped 0.7 percent in 2011 when compared with the 2010 estimate. The 2011 figure was 6.6 percent lower than the 2007 estimate.
The rate of estimated larceny-thefts in 2011 was 1,976.9 per 100,000 inhabitants.
From 2010 to 2011, the rate of estimated larceny-thefts declined 1.4 percent and from 2002 to 2011, the rate decreased 19.3 percent. (See Tables 1 and 1A.)
Larceny-thefts accounted for an estimated 68.0 percent of property crimes in 2011. (Based on Table 1.)
The average value of property taken during larceny-thefts was $987 per offense. Applying this average value to the estimated number of larceny-thefts showed that the loss to victims nationally was more than $6 billion. (Based on Table 1 and Table 23 .)
Over 24 percent (24.8) of larceny-thefts were thefts from motor vehicles. (Based on Table 23.)

Motor Vehicle Theft

In the FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, motor vehicle theft is defined as the theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle. In the UCR Program, a motor vehicle is a self-propelled vehicle that runs on land surfaces and not on rails. Examples of motor vehicles include sport utility vehicles, automobiles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, motor scooters, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles. Motor vehicle theft does not include farm equipment, bulldozers, airplanes, construction equipment, or water craft such as motorboats, sailboats, houseboats, or jet skis. The taking of a motor vehicle for temporary use by persons having lawful access is excluded from this definition.

Overview

There were an estimated 715,373 thefts of motor vehicles nationwide in 2011. The estimated rate of motor vehicle thefts was 229.6 per 100,000 inhabitants.
The estimated number of motor vehicle thefts declined 3.3 percent when compared with data from 2010, 35.0 percent when compared with 2007 figures and 42.6 percent when compared with 2002 figures. (See Table 1A.)
More than $4.3 billion was lost nationwide to motor vehicle thefts in 2011. The average dollar loss per stolen vehicle was $6,089. (Based on Table 1 and Table 23 .)
Of all motor vehicles reported stolen in 2011, 73.9 percent were automobiles. (Based on Table 19.)

Arson

The FBIs Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program defines arson as any willful or malicious burning or attempting to burn, with or without intent to defraud, a dwelling house, public building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.

Data collection

Only the fires that investigation determined to have been willfully set are included in this arson data collection. Fires labeled as suspicious or of unknown origin are excluded from these data. Points to consider regarding arson statistics include: This data collection does not include any estimates for arson because the degree of reporting arson offenses varies from agency to agency. Because of this unevenness of reporting, arson offenses are excluded from Tables 1-7, all of which contain offense estimations. In addition, Metropolitan Statistical Area, state and national offense rates per 100,000 inhabitants (found in Tables 1, 2 and 4-6) do not include arson data. Arson rates are calculated based upon data received from all law enforcement agencies that provide the UCR Program with data for 12 complete months and are presented in Arson Table 1. The number of arsons reported by individual law enforcement agencies is available in Tables 8-11, arson trend data (indicating a year-to-year change) are in Tables 12-15 and arson clearance data (crimes solved) can be found in Arson Table 2 and Tables 25-28.

Overview

In 2011, 15,640 law enforcement agencies provided 1-12 months of arson data and reported 52,333 arsons. Of the participating agencies, 14,887 provided expanded offense data regarding 43,412 arsons.
Nearly 46 percent (45.9) of all arson offenses involved structures (e.g., residential, storage, public, etc.). Mobile property was involved in 23.9 percent of arsons and other types of property (such as crops, timber, fences, etc.) accounted for 30.2 percent of reported arsons.
The average dollar loss per arson was $13,196.
Arsons of industrial/manufacturing structures resulted in the highest average dollar losses (an average of $68,349 per arson).
Arson offenses decreased 4.7 percent in 2011 when compared with arson data reported in 2010. (See Table 12.)
Nationwide, there were 18.2 arson offenses for every 100,000 inhabitants.
