Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Uniform Crime Reports for the United States: Printed Annually 1966
Uniform Crime Reports give a nationwide view Of crime based on police statistics made possible by the voluntary cooperation of local law enforcement agencies. Since the factors which cause crime are many and vary from place to place, readers are cautioned against drawing conclusions from direct com parisons of crime figures between individual communities without first con sidering the factors involved. The national material summarized in this publication should be used, however, as a starting point to determine deviations of individual cities from the national averages.
Crime is a social problem and the concern of the entire community. The law enforcement effort is limited to factors within its control. Some of the conditions which will affect the amount and type of crime that occurs from place to place are brie?y outlined below: Density and size of the community population and the metropolitan area of which it is a part.
Composition of the population with reference particularly to age, sex and race.
