The statistics cover offense and offender statistics for crime index offenses; information on victims, victim- offender relationships, weapons, and circumstances; clearances; arrests; and the numbers and types law enforcement personnel at the State and local levels. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program is also described. The data reveal that a crime index offense was committed every 2 seconds, including a violent crime every 17 seconds and a property crime every 2 seconds. Murders accounted for 1 percent of the violent crimes. The southern States accounted for 43 percent of the murders; the western States, 20 percent, the northeastern States, 19 percent; and the midwestern States, 18 percent. The Uniform Crime reporting program now includes Federal data, and in 1991 participants began gathering information on crimes motivated by prejudice against a victim's race, religion, ethnic origin, or sexual orientation.
