Persons arrested.Definition The Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program counts one arrest for each separate instance in which a person is arrested, cited, or summoned for an offense offense n. a crime or punishable violation of law of any type or magnitude. (See: crime). The Program collects arrest data on 29 offenses, as described in Offense Definitions. Because a person may be arrested multiple times during the year, the UCR arrest figures do not reflect the number of individual people who have been arrested. Rather, the arrest data show the number of times that persons are arrested, as reported by law enforcement agencies to the UCR Program. Data collection The UCR Program considers a juvenile to be an individual under 18 years of age regardless of the state definition. The Program does not collect data regarding police contact with a juvenile who has not committed an offense, nor does it collect data on situations in which police take a juvenile into custody for his or her own protection, e.g., neglect cases. Overview * In 2005, the FBI estimated that 14,094,186 arrests occurred nationwide for all offenses (except traffic violations), of which 603,503 were for violent crimes, and 1,609,327 for property crimes. * Law enforcement officers made more arrests for drug abuse violations in 2005 (an estimated 1.8 million arrests, or 13.1 percent of the total) than for any other offense. * Nationwide, the 2005 rate of arrests was estimated at 4,761.6 arrests per 100,000 inhabitants; for violent crime, the estimate was 204.8 per 100,000; and for property crime, the estimate was 549.1 per 100,000. * Although the number of arrests in 2005 increased only a slight 0.2 percent from the 2004 figure, arrests for murder rose 7.3 percent. * Arrests of juveniles (under 18 years of age) for murder climbed 19.9 percent in 2005 compared with 2004 arrest data; for robbery, arrests of juveniles rose 11.4 percent over the same 2-year period. * In 2005, 76.2 percent of all persons arrested were male, 82.1 percent of persons arrested for violent crime were male, and 68.0 percent of persons arrested for property crime were male. * Among the four categories of race reflected in UCR arrest data, 69.8 percent of all persons arrested were white, 59.0 percent of persons arrested for violent crime were white, and 68.8 percent of persons arrested for property crime were white. * White juveniles comprised 67.5 percent of all juveniles arrested in 2005 and 67.2 percent of juveniles arrested for property crime. * Black juveniles comprised 49.8 percent of all juveniles arrested in 2005 for violent crime. Expanded arrest data Expanded data about arrests include information about the age, gender, and race of the arrestees. These data are available in the following tables: Age: Tables 32, 34, 36, 38, 41, 44, 46, 47, 50, 52, 53, 56, 58, 59, 62, 64, and 65 Gender: Tables 33, 35, 37, 39, 40, 42, 45, 48, 51, 54, 57, 60, 63, and 66 Race: Tables 43, 49, 55, 61, and 67

Data Declaration Provides the methodology used in constructing this table and other pertinent information about this table. Overview * In 2005, adults (persons 18 years of age and over) accounted for 84.7 percent of all persons arrested. * Adults accounted for 84.2 percent of persons arrested for violent crime. * Persons under 25 years of age comprised 44.3 percent of all those arrested. (Based on Table 38.) * Adults were arrested most often for drug abuse violations than for any other offense, and juveniles (persons under 18 years of age) were arrested most often for larceny-theft offenses. * Historically, juveniles have had a high involvement in arson offenses. In 2005, 48.6 percent of persons arrested for arson were juveniles, and of those juveniles, 59.4 percent were under the age of 15. (Based on Table 38.)
