SECTION IV

232 PERSONS ARRESTED

Persons Arrested

In protecting the public, law officers relyon their powers of arrest, which provide themwith the legal authority to deprive deviantindividuals of their liberty and hold themaccountable for antisocial behavior. Becausearrests are the ultimate goal of criminal investi-gations, the level of arrests is often viewed as ameasure of police effectiveness. Although thereis considerable variation in the allocation of lawenforcement resources from place to place andeven from time to time within the same agency,arrests for serious crime (e.g., murder, rape,robbery) are strongly pursued in all venues.

For UCR reporting purposes, one arrest iscounted for each separate occasion in which anindividual is taken into custody, notified toappear, or cited for an offense. Because oneindividual may be arrested several times duringthe year for different offenses, the arrest figuresin this section should not be viewed as an annualaccounting of the number of persons arrestedbut, rather, as an index of the number of arrestsmade by law enforcement.

National Distributions

The Nation’s law enforcement made anestimated 13.7 million arrests for criminaloffenses (excluding traffic violations) during2001. Approximately 2.2 million of theestimated arrests for 2001 involved Crime Indexoffenses, which accounted for 16.4 percent oftotal arrests. (See Table 29.) During 2001, therewas an overall decrease of 2.1 percent from thenumber of arrests during the previous year. Thetotal arrests for Index offenses reflected a smalldecrease from the prior year’s total(-0.7 percent). Within the Crime Index, violentcrime arrests increased slightly, 0.1 percent, andproperty crime arrests declined 1.0 percent. (SeeTable 36.)

The 5- and 10-year arrest trends indicatedan 8.9-percent decrease from the 1997 arrestfigure and a 0.5-percent increase from the 1992number. (See Tables 32, 34, and 36.)

Approximately 45.9 percent of the totalarrests nationwide involved persons under theage of 25, 31.4 percent were under the age of21, and 16.7 percent of the total were under theage of 18. In terms of violent crime arrests,44.2 percent of total arrestees were under 25years of age, 29.0 percent were under 21 yearsof age, and 15.4 percent were under the age of18.
