Violent and Property Crime Data

Number of personal violent and property crimes in Pierce County. Only specific crimes are highlighted in the crime rates presented here. These numbers represent total numbers of reported crimes in each category (not arrests which may occur over a prolonged period). The following categories represent the personal violent crimes considered in this data: Murder, Manslaughter, Forcible Sex, Assault, Kidnapping/Abduction, Human Trafficking, and Robbery. The following categories represent the property crimes considered in this data: Burglary, Theft, Arson, and Destruction of Property. Each set of crimes is totaled, then the rate per 1,000 people is calculated using the total # of crimes and the current population of each jurisdiction per year as provided in the same report. This is a voluntary program and as such, some law enforcement agencies do not participate or have only recently participated, which is also reflected in this table.
