Crime Statistics
In Arkansas, crime statistics are submitted by law enforcement agencies using the incident base reporting method within the Arkansas Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. While this information comes from law enforcement and includes the number of arrests and incidents known and reported by law enforcement agencies, it does not include any data relating to prosecution, adjudication or corrections. Likewise, it does not attempt to draw any conclusions about the cause of crime. Throughout the year the Statistical Analysis Center (SAC) within ACIC publishes a number of statistical reports, including the annual Arkansas Crime Statistics.
The crime statistics are based on data reported to the Arkansas Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program by law enforcement agencies. As of 2009 all law enforcement agencies report using the NIBRS National Incident Base Reporting System Format. Prior to 2009 all law enforcement agencies reported using either the NIBRS or Summary Format.
During 2003 through 2008, the UCR Program was transitioning from the UCR Summary Format to the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Format. The Summary and NIBRS data collected were merged using the FBI Conversion of National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Data to Summary Reporting System (SRS) Data Manual (September 1999). The NIBRS data was converted to Summary using the FBI Manual as guidance and then merged with the existing Summary database. The statistics presented for 2003 – 2008 are the state totals.
