Dash indicates that a percent change was not calculated due to data definition change. 1 In 2014, the crime of "forcible rape" was changed to "rape". The definition was expanded to include

both male and female victims and reflects the various forms of sexual penetration understood to be rape according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting standards. For additional information, see Appendix 1, Data Characteristics and Known Limitations.

2 Rates are based on annual population estimates provided by the Demographic Research Unit, California Department of Finance. Rates for 2005-2010 have been recalculated using revised intercensal population data and may not match previously published data.

Notes: Rates may not add to total because of rounding. Dash indicates that a percent change was not calculated due to data definition change.

1 In 2014, the crime of "forcible rape" was changed to "rape". The definition was expanded to include both male and female victims and reflects the various forms of sexual penetration understood to be rape according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting standards. For additional information, see Appendix 1, Data Characteristics and Known Limitations.

2 Rates are based on annual population estimates provided by the Demographic Research Unit, California Department of Finance. Rates for 2005-2011 have been recalculated using revised intercensal population data and may not match previously published data. Arrest rates are based on the total population at risk (10-69 years of age).

Appendix 1 Data Characteristics and Known Limitations

HOMICIDE CRIMES

Homicide data are obtained from the Supplementary Homicide Report (SHR). The SHR is submitted monthly by California law enforcement agencies as part of the national Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system.

The number of reported homicide crimes represents known victims.

Per UCR definition, suicides, fetal deaths, traffic fatalities, accidental deaths, assaults to murder, and attempts to murder are not classified as criminal homicide and are not included in this report.

The findings of a court, coroner’s inquest, etc., do not affect classifying or scoring of the SHR homicide counts.

Detailed data regarding the criminal homicide category are only as comprehensive as the information provided by contributing agencies.

Offender data (race/ethnicity, age, and gender) are based on law enforcement identification of the offender as a suspect.

Weapon – Reporting agencies report a complete description of the weapon and the ways in which the weapon was used. For example, if a bottle was used in the commission of a murder, the agency will state whether the person was killed by beating, cutting, or stabbing.

Relationship – The relationship reported is that of the victim to the offender. For example, if a wife is killed by her husband, the reported relationship is wife.

Circumstances – Statements of circumstances are based on information known to law enforcement. The reporting agency provides a brief statement as to the circumstances or precipitating events leading to the victim’s death. If the killing occurred in conjunction with the commission of another felony such as a robbery or rape, the agency identifies the specific offense involved.

Note: FBI Redefines Rape

In 2013, the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program revised the definition of “forcible rape” (the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will) to “rape” and defined as “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 California Department of Justice implemented this definition change in January 2014. During 2014, agencies were encouraged to report using the new definition, but were allowed to report under the historical definition while transitioning their reporting systems.

All rape data submitted in 2014 — whether collected under the revised definition or the historical definition — are presented in this publication. While rates are still provided, calculating a percent change from prior years will be suspended until the reporting of rape under the new definition is complete and consistent.

ARRESTS Monthly Arrest and Citation Register (MACR)

Arrest data from the MACR reporting system are designed to collect the number of persons arrested.

If a person is arrested for multiple offenses, MACR selects only the most serious offense, based on the severity of possible punishment.

The subjectivity of the classification and labeling process must be considered in the analysis of race/ethnic group data.

POPULATION

Crime and arrest rates are calculated using annual population estimates provided by the Demographic Research Unit, California Department of Finance. Population estimates for 2000–2011 were revised based on the 2010 census. Crime and arrest rates for the period have been recalculated using revised intercensal population data and may not match previously published data.

Beginning in 2004, the population category of “other” for race/ethnic group includes the Department of Finance’s race/ethnic group of “multi-racial.”

Appendix 2 Computational Formulas

ARREST RATE – An arrest rate describes the number of arrests made by law enforcement agencies per 100,000 total population or per 100,000 total population considered to be at-risk for arrest (10-69 years of age). The “at-risk” population can be further distinguished by adults at-risk (aged 18-69 years) and juveniles at-risk (aged 10-17 years). Regardless of the population used, all rates are calculated in the same manner. An arrest rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported arrests by the respective population. The result is multiplied by 100,000. For example, in 2014 there were 1,427 homicide arrests. The total population was 38,499,378 and the total population at-risk was 30,190,364. This equals a homicide arrest rate of 3.7 per 100,000 population and 4.7 per 100,000 population at-risk.

1,427 = 0.00003706 x 100,000 = 3.7 per 100,000 total population 38,499,378

1,427 = 0.00004727 x 100,000 = 4.7 per 100,000 total population at-risk 30,190,364

CLEARANCE RATE – A clearance rate is the percentage of crimes reported that have been cleared. A clearance rate is calculated by dividing the number of crimes cleared by the number of crimes reported. The result is multiplied by 100. For example, in 2014 there were 1,091 homicides cleared and 1,697 homicides reported. This equals a homicide clearance rate of 64.3 percent.

1,091 = 0.64289 x 100 = 64.3 percent 1,697

CRIME RATE – A crime rate describes the number of crimes reported to law enforcement agencies for every 100,000 persons within a population. A crime rate is calculated by dividing the number of reported crimes by the total population. The result is multiplied by 100,000. For example, in 2014 there were 1,697 homicides in California and the population was 38,499,378. This equals a homicide crime rate of 4.4 per 100,000 general population.

1,697 = 0.0000440786 x 100,000 = 4.4 per 100,000 population 38,499,378

PERCENT CHANGE – A percent change describes a change in number or rate from one year to another. A percent change is calculated by subtracting base-year data from current-year data. The result is divided by base-year data and multiplied by 100. For example, in 2014 the homicide crime rate was 4.4. In 2005 the homicide crime rate was 7.0. The percent change in rate from 2005 to 2014 is a 37.1 percent decrease.

4.4 - 7.0 = -0.37142 x 100 = -37.1 percent 7.0

Note: When a series of rates are calculated using different populations, the rate calculated for the total will not be equal to the sum of the rates calculated for each subtotal. For example, the total arrest rate (calculated using the total at-risk population) will not equal the sum of the adult arrest rate (calculated using the adult at-risk population) and the juvenile arrest rate (calculated using the juvenile at-risk population).
