Section 5
Law Enforcement, Courts, and Prisons
This section presents data on crimes committed, victims of crimes, arrests, and
data related to criminal violations and the
criminal justice system. The major
sources of these data are the Bureau of
Justice Statistics (BJS), the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI), and the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts. BJS issues
several reports, including Sourcebook of
Criminal Justice Statistics, Criminal Victimization in the United States, Prisoners
in State and Federal Institutions, Census
of State Correctional Facilities and Survey
of Prison Inmates, Census of Jails and Survey of Jail Inmates, Parole in the United
States, Capital Punishment, and the
annual Expenditure and Employment Data
for the Criminal Justice System. The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s major
annual reports are Crime in the United
States, Law Enforcement Officers Killed
and Assaulted, annual, and Hate Crimes,
annual. which presents data on reported
crimes as gathered from state and local
law enforcement agencies.
Legal jurisdiction and law enforcement—Law enforcement is, for the most
part, a function of state and local officers
and agencies. The U.S. Constitution
reserves general police powers to the
states. By act of Congress, federal
offenses include only offenses against the
U.S. government and against or by its
employees while engaged in their official
duties and offenses which involve the
crossing of state lines or an interference
with interstate commerce. Excluding the
military, there are 52 separate criminal
law jurisdictions in the United States: 1 in
each of the 50 states, 1 in the District of
Columbia, and the federal jurisdiction.
Each of these has its own criminal law
and procedure and its own law enforcement agencies. While the systems of law
enforcement are quite similar among the
states, there are often substantial differences in the penalties for like offenses.
Law enforcement can be divided into
three parts: Investigation of crimes and
arrests of persons suspected of committing them; prosecution of those charged
with crime; and the punishment or treatment of persons convicted of crime.
Crime—There are two major approaches
taken in determining the extent of crime.
One perspective is provided by the FBI
through its Uniform Crime Reporting Program (UCR). The FBI receives monthly and
annual reports from law enforcement
agencies throughout the country, currently representing 93 percent of the
national population. Each month, city
police, sheriffs, and state police file
reports on the number of index offenses,
hate crimes and law enforcement assaults
that become known to them. Additionally,
data are collected for officers killed in the
line of duty.
The FBI Crime Index offenses are as follows: Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter is based on police investigations, as opposed to the determination of
a medical examiner or judicial body,
includes willful felonious homicides and
excludes attempts and assaults to kill,
suicides, accidental deaths, justifiable
homicides, and deaths caused by negligence; forcible rape includes forcible
rapes and attempts; robbery includes
stealing or taking anything of value by
force or violence or threat of force or violence and includes attempted robbery;
aggravated assault includes assault with
intent to kill; burglary includes any
unlawful entry to commit a felony or a
theft and includes attempted burglary and
burglary followed by larceny; larceny
includes theft of property or articles of
value without use of force and violence or
fraud and excludes embezzlement, ‘‘con
games,’’ forgery, etc.; motor vehicle theft
includes all cases where vehicles are
driven away and abandoned but excludes
vehicles taken for temporary use and
returned by the taker. Arson was added as
the eighth Index offense in April 1979 following a Congressional mandate. Arson
includes any willful or malicious burning
Law Enforcement, Courts, and Prisons
U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2006
191
or attempt to burn, with or without intent
to defraud, a dwelling house, public
building, motor vehicle or aircraft, personal property of another, etc.
The monthly Uniform Crime Reports also
contain data on crimes cleared by arrest
and on characteristics of persons arrested
for all criminal offenses. In summarizing
and publishing crime data, the FBI
depends primarily on the adherence to
the established standards of reporting for
statistical accuracy, presenting the data as
information useful to persons concerned
with the problem of crime and criminal
law enforcement.
National Crime Victimization Survey
(NCVS)—A second perspective on crime
is provided by this survey of the Bureau
of Justice Statistics. Details about the
crimes come directly from the victims. No
attempt is made to validate the information against police records or any other
source.
The NCVS measures rape, robbery,
assault, household and personal larceny,
burglary, and motor vehicle theft. The
NCVS includes offenses reported to the
police, as well as those not reported.
Police reporting rates (percent of victimizations) varied by type of crime. In 2003,
for instance, 33 percent of rapes/ sexual
assaults were reported; 61 percent of robberies; 46 percent of assaults; 32 percent
of personal thefts; 54 percent of household burglaries; and 77 percent of motor
vehicle thefts.
Murder and kidnaping are not covered.
Commercial burglary and robbery were
dropped from the program during 1977.
The so-called victimless crimes, such as
drunkenness, drug abuse, and prostitution, also are excluded, as are crimes for
which it is difficult to identify knowledgeable respondents or to locate data
records.
Crimes of which the victim may not be
aware also cannot be measured effectively. Buying stolen property may fall
into this category, as may some instances
of embezzlement. Attempted crimes of
many types probably are under recorded
192
for this reason. Events in which the victim
has shown a willingness to participate in
illegal activity also are excluded.
In any encounter involving a personal
crime, more than one criminal act can be
committed against an individual. For
example, a rape may be associated with a
robbery, or a household offense, such as
a burglary, can escalate into something
more serious in the event of a personal
confrontation. In classifying the surveymeasured crimes, each criminal incident
has been counted only once−by the most
serious act that took place during the incident and ranked in accordance with the
seriousness classification system used by
the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The
order of seriousness for crimes against
persons is as follows: Rape, robbery,
assault, and larceny. Personal crimes take
precedence over household offenses.
A victimization, basic measure of the
occurrence of crime, is a specific criminal
act as it affects a single victim. The number of victimizations is determined by the
number of victims of such acts. Victimization counts serve as key elements in computing rates of victimization. For crimes
against persons, the rates are based on
the total number of individuals age 12
and over or on a portion of that population sharing a particular characteristic or
set of traits. As general indicators of the
danger of having been victimized during
the reference period, the rates are not sufficiently refined to represent true measures of risk for specific individuals or
households.
An incident is a specific criminal act
involving one or more victims; therefore
the number of incidents of personal
crimes is lower than that of victimizations.
Courts—Statistics on criminal offenses
and the outcome of prosecutions are
incomplete for the country as a whole,
although data are available for many
states individually. The only national compilations of such statistics were made by
the Census Bureau for 1932 to 1945 covering a maximum of 32 states and by the
Bureau of Justice Statistics for 1986,
1988, 1990, and 1992 based on a nationally representative sample survey.
Law Enforcement, Courts, and Prisons
U.S. Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2006
The bulk of civil and criminal litigation in
the country is commenced and determined in the various state courts. Only
when the U.S. Constitution and acts of
Congress specifically confer jurisdiction
upon the federal courts may civil or criminal litigation be heard and decided by
them. Generally, the federal courts have
jurisdiction over the following types of
cases: Suits or proceedings by or against
the United States; civil actions between
private parties arising under the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States;
civil actions between private litigants who
are citizens of different states; civil cases
involving admiralty, maritime, or prize
jurisdiction; and all matters in bankruptcy. The Administrative Office of the
United States Courts has compiled statistics on the caseload of the federal courts
annually since 1940.
There are several types of courts with
varying degrees of legal jurisdiction.
These jurisdictions include original, appellate, general, and limited or special. A
court of original jurisdiction is one having
the authority initially to try a case and
pass judgment on the law and the facts; a
court of appellate jurisdiction is one with
the legal authority to review cases and
hear appeals; a court of general jurisdiction is a trial court of unlimited original
jurisdiction in civil and/or criminal cases,
also called a ‘‘major trial court’’; a court of
limited or special jurisdiction is a trial
court with legal authority over only a particular class of cases, such as probate,
juvenile, or traffic cases.
The 94 federal courts of original jurisdiction are known as the U.S. district courts.
One or more of these courts is established in every state and one each in the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands,
and Guam. Appeals from the district
courts are taken to intermediate appellate
courts of which there are 13, known as
U.S. courts of appeals and the United
States Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit. The Supreme Court of the United
States is the final and highest appellate
court in the federal system of courts.
Juvenile offenders—For statistical purposes, the FBI and most states classify as
juvenile offenders persons under the age
of 18 years who have committed a crime
or crimes.
Delinquency cases are all cases of youths
referred to a juvenile court for violation of
a law or ordinance or for seriously ‘‘antisocial’’ conduct. Several types of facilities
are available for those adjudicated delinquents, ranging from the short-term
physically unrestricted environment to the
long-term very restrictive atmosphere.
Prisoners—Data on prisoners in federal
and state prisons and reformatories were
collected annually by the Census Bureau
until 1950, by the Federal Bureau of Prisons until 1971, transferred then to the
Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, and, in 1979, to the Bureau of Justice
Statistics. Adults convicted of criminal
activity may be given a prison or jail sentence. A prison is a confinement facility
having custodial authority over adults
sentenced to confinement of more than
1 year. A jail is a facility, usually operated
by a local law enforcement agency, holding persons detained pending adjudication and/or persons committed after adjudication to 1 year or less. Nearly every
state publishes annual data either for its
whole prison system or for each separate
state institution.
Statistical reliability—For discussion of
statistical collection, estimation and sampling procedures, and measures of statistical reliability pertaining to the National
Crime Victimization Survey and Uniform
Crime Reporting Program, see Appendix
III.

Includes nonnegligent manslaughter. 2 Forcible rape figures furnished by the state-level uniform crime reporting (UCR)
program administered by the Delaware State Bureau of Investigation were not in accordance with the national UCR guidelines;
therefore, it was necessary that the forcible rape count be estimated. 3 Includes offenses reported by the police at the National
Zoo. 4 Complete data were not available; therefore, it was necessary for the crime counts to be estimated for Illinois, Kansas,
Kentucky, and Montana for all years shown.

Includes races not shown separately. 2 Rate based on enumerated population figures as of April 1 for 1980, 1990 and 2000;
July 1 estimates for other years. 3 Effective with data for 1999, causes of death are classified by The Tenth Revision International
Classification of Diseases (ICD-10), replacing the Ninth Revision (ICD-9) used for 1979-98 data. Breaks in the comparability of
some cause of death statistics result from changes in category titles, changes in the structure and content of the classification, and
changes in coding rules used to select the underlying cause of death. In ICD-9, the category Homicide also inludes death as a
result of legal intervention. ICD-10 has two separate categories for these two causes of death. Some caution should be used in
comparing data between 1998 and 1999.

The term ‘‘victim’’ may refer to a person, business, institution, or a society as a whole. 2 The term ‘‘known offender’’ does
not imply that the identity of the suspect is known, but only that an attribute of the suspect is identified which distinquishes him/her
from an unknown offender.

Table 331. Delinquency Cases and Case Rates by Sex and Race: 1992 to 2000
[A delinquency offense is an act committed by a juvenile for which an adult could be prosecuted in a criminal court. Disposition of
a case involves taking a definite action such as waiving the case to criminal court, dismissing the case, placing the youth on
probation, placing the youth in a facility for delinquents, or such actions as fines, restitution, and community service. Offenses may
not add to total sex and race categories due to rounding]

Table 332. Child Abuse and Neglect Cases Substantiated and Indicated—
Victim Characteristics: 1990 to 2003
[Based on reports alleging child abuse and neglect that were referred for investigation/assessment by the respective child protective services agency in each state. The reporting period may be either calendar or fiscal year. Children are counted each time they
were subjects of an investigation report. Victims are children whose alleged maltreatments have been substantiated, indicated, or
assesed as maltreatments. A substantiated case represents a type of investigation disposition that determines that there is sufficient evidence under state law to conclude that maltreatment occurred or that the child is at risk of maltreatment. An indicated case
represents a type of disposition that concludes that there was a reason to suspect maltreatment had occurred. An alternative responsevictim case represents a type of disposition that identifies a child as a victim within the alternative response system]

- Represents or rounds to zero NA Not available. 1 State-level data excludes Federal inmates. 2 Includes both jail and
prison inmates (State has combined jail and prison system). 3 Numbers are for custody rather than jurisdiction counts. 4 The
transfer of responsibility for sentenced felons from the District of Columbia to the Federal System was completed by year-end 2001.
Since June 30, 2000, the inmate population in the District of Columbia has dropped by 5825 inmates. Approximately 58% of the
growth in the Federal System in the last 6 months of 2001 was the result of this transfer of responsibility. 5 1990, data are for
custody counts; thereafter, jurisdiction counts are reported.
