| Narrative: | As
defined, violent crimes include murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault.
Property crimes include burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft.
Curfew/loitering violations and running away are considered unruly or
status offenses, meaning that only a youth can be charged with those violations,
not an adult. Both vandalism and disorderly conduct are specific delinquency
offenses being monitored for this planning process.
Local law enforcement agencies are strongly encouraged, but not mandated, to report their statistics to the FBI. It is important to note that the number of jurisdictions reporting has increased from just 13 in 1994 to 18 in 2000. This means that even though more jurisdictions are reporting information, the amount of crime has not increased, and in fact has decreased in some instances. In comparing adult and juvenile property crimes in the year 2000, juveniles were arrested for 29% of all property crimes and 20% of all violent crimes committed in Mahoning County. |
