Department of Criminal Justice Services, Criminal Justice Research Center Title: Virginia Crime Trends 2000 ‐ 2009 Summary: This document presents Virginia index crime and drug arrests rates from two different sources: Crime In The United States (U.S.), by the U.S. Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Criminal Justice Research Center. Both agencies use criminal incident reports submitted by local law enforcement agencies to the Incident‐Based Crime Reporting Repository System managed by the Virginia Department of State Police (VSP) to calculate Virginia crime and arrest rates, but the rates reported by each differ slightly. The differences are largely attributed to: (1) Different methodologies used to estimate missing or underreported crime or arrest data. (2) Different sources for population data used to calculate offense rates. FBI calculates population estimates using U.S. Census Bureau estimated data and population growth rates. DCJS uses estimates produced by the Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service at the University of Virginia. (3) The FBI may "freeze" the crime data later than DCJS resulting in small differences in the number of crimes used to calculate the rates. For valid comparisons, any discussion of Virginia crime and arrest rates versus national rates or rates of the other states use Virginia rates reported by the FBI in Crime In The U.S. Any discussion of crime and arrest rates for regions or localities within Virginia use rates calculated by DCJS. The report includes a summary of rate trends from 2000 through 2009 for violent index crime, property index crime, and drug arrests, followed by numerous charts, graphs, and tables that break down the data for each category.
