Title: Thirty-Nine Years of Crime in the San Diego Region: 1980 Through 2018

Summary: Since 1980, SANDAG has been reporting regional crime statistics for the San Diego region through a cooperative agreement with local law enforcement agencies. This report presents and discusses crime trend data for the past 39 years. Crime rates per 1,000 resident population, as well as the actual number of crimes reported, are presented. SANDAG is the only local entity to compile and analyze these statistics historically across the 18 incorporated cities, as well as the unincorporated areas of the county, making this information some of the most frequently requested from the SANDAG Criminal Justice Clearinghouse. These data are useful to local law enforcement, policy makers, and the community in general in tracking public safety over time, as well as the effectiveness of prevention and response efforts on regional crime rates. In interpreting these annual figures, it is essential to note that because of changes in how rape is defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), comparisons across time for rape and violent crime overall should be made with caution. Specifically, in 2015, California law enforcement agencies began to use the revised and broader Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) definition of rape that includes male victims, sodomy, penetration with any body part or objects, and no longer requires force. As a result of this change, some Part I crimes that previously would have been aggravated assaults are now rapes and some Part II crimes that previously would not have been captured in these statistics are now Part I crimes.
