Crime Statistics
The Georgia Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program is part of a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. In the 1920s, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) envisioned the need for statistics on crime in our Nation. A voluntary national data collection effort was developed and initiated in 1930 and is the basis of the current UCR program. There are a variety of statistics which could be used in the portrayal of crime in the United States. These include penal, prosecutive, arrest, offense and conviction data. To best depict total crime and to provide the most meaningful data to police administrators, it was determined that the UCR program would collect data on known offenses and persons arrested. This data is used in law enforcement administration, operation and management, as well as to indicate the fluctuations in the level of crime throughout America.
