FBI Uniform Crime Reports

Posted by David Hardy · 20 September 2005 02:09 PM

The FBI has posted its preliminary Uniform Crime Report for 2004 (Pdf format). A few notes:

In the first full year after expiration of the assault weapons ban, murders declined 3.6%, as did robberies Can't tell much more, since at least for me their interactive map doesn't interact at all.

For California, which maintains its own version of an Assault Weapons ban, in 2003 there were 1445 murders, and in 2004 there were 1434; this is a 0.76% decline. Is that significantly different from 3.6%?

For some reason, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania are grouped with New England.

NJ has an AW ban: Murders 2003- 144, 2004- 133, a decline of 8.3%.

Adjacent Pennsylvania, with no AW ban: Murders 2003- 430, 2004- 388 for a 9.7% decline.

Georgia has no AW ban; Murders, 2003- 222, 2004- 186, a decline of 16.2%.

The FBI site quit serving the files to me before I could get the 'all agency' spreadsheet.
