Crime and Enforcement Activity in New York City (Jan, 1 – December 31, 2012)
Raymond W. Kelly Police Commissioner
Introduction This report presents statistics on race/ethnicity compiled from the New York City Police Department’s records management system. Crime Complaint Reports contain information on the crime victims’ race and ethnicity as recorded by the officers or precinct clerical staff interviewing the victim or complainant. The victim’s description of any non-arrested suspects will also be recorded on the crime complaint report. Arrests made by the responding officers will be recorded on an arrest report associated with the crime complaint report and used to initiate the booking system. Once the information has been entered and “signed” off by a supervisor it is stored in the Department’s Enterprise Data Warehouse. The data for this report were drawn from the Data Warehouse. Additional information was drawn from a separate Homicide and Shooting Database that collects additional statistical information for Murder and Shooting incidents. The crime complaint and arrest data contained in this report represent crimes occurring from January 1, 2012 thru December 31, 2012 for the general crime complaint and arrest data (compiled on February 28, 2013). The Murder and Shooting tables and charts are also based on incidents that occurred through December 31, 2012 as are the statistics presented for Firearm arrests (compiled on February 28, 2013). Stop Question and Frisk data and Violent Crime Suspect information are taken from the New York City Police Department’s Stop, Question and Frisk Database which is also the source of the quarterly report on Stop Question and Frisk Activity supplied to the New York City Council for calendar year 2012. Narcotics allegations, calls from the public to 911 and other hot lines reporting suspected drug sales and use, are from the Department's NITRO system as of 2/14/2013.
Statistical Considerations Commercial victimizations are generally noted on crime complaint reports and are excluded from the statistics dealing with specific categories of crime. However it is likely that a small number of commercial victimizations may be inadvertently included in the victim data when a report is not properly classified as a commercial victimization. Those cases would generally present the race/ethnicity of employees as the crime victims. Both crime complaint reports and arrest reports are classified according to the most serious crime recorded or charge lodged. Arrest statistics represent arrests made by all Police agencies operating within the confines of New York City and arresting and charging individuals with crime under New York State laws. The arrest statistics presented here do not include arrests made by federal agencies.
Crime complaint statistics used in these tables and charts are from crimes occurring during calendar year 2012 and Arrest statistics presented represent arrests made
i
during calendar year 2012. Crime complaint reports that were recorded during calendar year 2012 but report an incident occurring in prior years are excluded from these statistics. Arrest reports included in these statistics do include arrests made during calendar year 2012 for incidents that may have occurred in prior years. Black Hispanic and White Hispanic categories have been combined into a single Hispanic category for the statistical tables and charts presented in this report. The categories of Black and White used in tables and charts through out this report therefore represent Black Non-Hispanic and White Non-Hispanic. The labels Black and White are used for the sake of brevity and simplicity of presentation in the various tables and charts. The New York City Police Department’s Crime Reporting System uses a two tiered crime classification system. The broadest level of categorization is used to present the statistics in this report. Specific broad Crime categories however may contain only some subcategories for which suspect descriptions are typically available (e.g. a Larceny from the person will normally provide some suspect descriptive information while a larceny from a business office without a witness will not). For certain broad crime categories the number of crime complaints that contain suspect descriptions with race/ ethnicity information will therefore only be a portion of the total complaints recorded. The tables included in the report contain overall statistics that explain the available victim and suspect information for each broad crime category. The victim count for the period for the example table below, Misdemeanor Criminal Mischief is 40,985. Of these victims 25,282 had information on the race/ethnicity of a noncommercial victim. Within this crime complaint population suspect information was available for 11,356 suspects and the race/ethnicity of 5,579 of those suspects was available. During calendar year 2012 7,825 misdemeanor criminal mischief arrests were made and 7,769 of these records contained race/ethnicity information.

Appendix A includes a description of the significant classification subcategories contained in the broad crime categories used in the tables and charts contained in this report. An initial crime complaint report may record a crime with several suspects some of whom may be arrested at the time the crime is reported and recorded. The nonarrested suspects are included in the “suspect” statistics in the tables and charts included in this report and arrested individuals are included in the “arrestee” statistics. At the time these statistics were compiled additional follow up arrests may have been made increasing the number of arrested suspects. In so far as that situation has occurred within calendar year 2012 data presented the suspect and arrests data will overlap and count the same individual as both suspect and arrestee if a follow up arrest has been made during the period. Arrest statistics are drawn from the initial booking data collected by the arresting officer prior to arraignment. The small number of arrest records without race/ethnicity may result from arrestees that have no identification and whose race/ethnicity cannot initially be determined before arraignment or due to administrative omissions in report preparation. The race/ethnicity of victims are recorded by the officer or precinct clerical staff who are taking the report and rely on that interaction with the victim/complainant/reporter to determine the victims race/ethnicity. The suspect’s description is also recorded at this time but relies on the victim’s assessment of race and ethnicity given their interaction with the suspect. The arrestee race/ethnicity is recorded as a result of the officers assessment of the individual’s identification documents the individual’s physical characteristics and in many cases their prior criminal record. Arrestee race/ethnicity and victim designation of suspect race/ethnicity may therefore vary due to the different methods of determination.
Classification as a Shooting incident is based upon a bullet striking the victim. A Shooting incident therefore contains complaints for violent crimes such as Rape, Robbery and Felonious Assault as well as Murders committed with a firearm. This category therefor is not mutually exclusive with the broad crime classifications used in the other tables and charts within this report but is meant to isolate those specific instances where firearms are used to cause harm regardless of the other crimes committed. Some crime categories are principally proactive enforcement events and will have no specific victim e.g. drug possession, sale and manufacture. The race/ethnicity of arrested individuals is reported for these categories. Additionally possible drug related criminal activity is also reported as allegations via 911 and various hot lines. Criminal activity noted in allegations requires further investigation to determine if criminal activity is actually occurring as suspected in the report from the public. Arrests may result from those follow-up investigations. Drug allegations may contain suspect race/ethnicity descriptions.
iii
The Arrest statistics dealing with firearm arrests are a special compilation focusing on arrests that remove one or more firearms from the street. The arrests so identified are arrests that include selected Felony Dangerous Weapons charges, indicate by specific report entries the presence of a firearm and finally that a firearm was vouchered as a result of the arrest. A firearm arrest will be counted if these conditions are met by an arrest containing other charges, some of which may be for serious violent felonies. The Firearm Arrest statistics therefore include arrests for other violent crimes that are also included in other tables within this report.
