Thirty Years of Crime in the San Diego Region: 1982 through 2011 3

THIRTY YEARS OF CRIME IN THE SAN DIEGO REGION: 1982 THROUGH 2011

INTRODUCTION

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 30 years. Crime rates per 1,000 resident population1, as well as the actual number of crimes reported are presented. SANDAG is the only local entity to compile these statistics across the 18 incorporated cities, as well as the unincorporated areas of the county, making this information some of the most frequently requested from SANDAG’s 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.

OVERALL CRIME

There was a total of 76,106 Part I crimes in the San Diego region in 2011 (Appendix Tables 1 and 5) which equated to 23.60 crimes per 1,000 population (Appendix Table 2). Part I crimes include four violent offenses (homicide, rape, robbery, and aggravated assault) and three property offenses (burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft) that are tracked nationwide in a standardized manner by the FBI with agencies submitting crime data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) system. Other crimes, such as drug-related offenses, vandalism, and fraud, are also documented by local law enforcement as Part II crimes. However, because categorization schemes can vary across agencies, standardized numbers for Part II crimes are not available, even though

1 The populations used to calculate rates are provided in Appendix Table 20.

these crimes may be sizeable in number and require substantial attention and resources from law enforcement.

FAST FACTS

In 2011, both the violent and property crime rates for the San Diego region decreased and were again at new 30-year lows (3.41 and 20.19, respectively, per 1,000 residents).

There were 82 homicides in the San Diego region in 2011, a 22 percent increase from 2010. For cases where motive could be determined, there was an increase in the number attributed to domestic violence.

The number of robberies decreased 9 percent from 2010, the greatest drop in the violent crime category. Bank robberies, which had spiked in 2010, were down 36 percent, possibly reflecting successful collaboration between federal and local law enforcement to address this issue.

While residential burglaries were down 8 percent from 2010, non-residential burglaries were down less than 1 percent.

Although the number of larcenies was down overall in 2011, there were more thefts of bicycles, from buildings, and other locations reported in 2011.

Motor vehicle theft continued to decrease in 2011, down 10 percent from 2010, with drops reported by 82 percent of the jurisdictions.

Despite the continued annual decreases in crime, there were increases in all three property crime categories during the last quarter of the year, a trend which will continue to be monitored.

VIOLENT CRIME

In 2011, there were 11,009 Part I violent crimes reported to law enforcement in the San Diego region (Appendix Tables 1 and 6)2. The most common type was aggravated assault, which represented about two-thirds (66%) of all violent crime in 2011; robbery represented 28 percent, rape 6 percent, and homicide 1 percent. According to statistics from the National Crime Victimization Survey3, around half (51%) of violent crime was reported to law enforcement nationwide in 2010 (not shown).

As Figure 1 shows, the violent crime rate (per 1,000 population) in the San Diego region increased in the later part of the 1980s, reaching a peak of 9.76 in 19924. Since then, there has been a decline to 3.41 violent crimes per 1,000 residents in 2011, which represented a 6 percent decrease from 2010 (3.61) and another new 30-year low. Possible factors related to this overall drop in crime since the 1990s could include legislation which increased jail and prison time for violent offenses, cross-jurisdictional task forces targeting gang activity and utilizing intelligence-led policing, and the implementation of effective crime prevention programs. Across jurisdictions, the 2011 violent crime rate ranged from .94 to 6.44 (Appendix Table 3 and Appendix Map 1). Over the past year, 15 jurisdictions had lower and 8 had higher violent crime rates, compared to 2010 (3 had numbers too small for valid comparisons). Solana Beach and Ramona led local jurisdictions with 23 percent one-year decreases in the violent crime rate, with other declines ranging from 1 to 19 percent. On-going efforts by individual departments to address violent crime have included problem-solving strategies to

identify and target specific high-crime areas, specific groups (e.g., gangs committing disproportionate amount of crime), and specific times (e.g., targeted patrols during high-crime hours).

Annual statistics through 2010 from the FBI were used to compare changes over time in the violent crime rate reported in the San Diego region to those reported across the United States. As Figure 2 shows, the San Diego region experienced a greater rise in violent crime in the late 1980s and early 1990s, compared to the nation, returning to a similar violent crime rate after 1998. This increase was possibly related to the prevalence of methamphetamine distribution and use in the region during this time period. In 2010, the violent crime rate in the San Diego region was 3.61, versus 4.04 for the nation as a whole5.

5 Calendar year 2010 represents the most current annual crime statistics available at the national level at the time of this publication. However, preliminary mid-year 2011 national statistics released by the FBI show a 6.4 percent decline in

Each jurisdiction also voluntarily documents violent crimes committed against senior citizens (individuals 60 years of age and older). In 2011, there were 467 violent crimes against senior citizens, a decrease of 2 percent from the previous year. In 2011, these violent crimes against seniors included 11 homicides, 8 rapes, 147 robberies, and 301 aggravated assaults (not shown).

Homicide

Over the past 30 years, the number of homicides in the San Diego region peaked at 278 in 1991 and decreased fairly steadily to 86 in 1998 (not shown). Since then, the number of homicides has fluctuated but has not exceeded 130 (in 2003) (Appendix Tables 1 and 8). In 2011, there was a total of 82 homicides, which was the first increase since 2006 and a 22 percent jump from 2010 when 67 homicides were reported (Figure 3).

the violent crime rate, compared to the same point in 2010.

Figure 3 NUMBER OF HOMICIDES REPORTED IN

2011 INCREASED FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2006

SOURCE: SANDAG

In both 2010 and 2011, there were three primary motives which accounted for three-fourths of homicides where motive could be determined (57 homicides in 2010 and 61 in 2011): an argument, domestic violence, or gang-related. However, more homicides were attributed to domestic violence in 2011 (30% versus 18%) and fewer to arguments (26% versus 37%); the proportion attributed to gangs was 18 percent in both years. Motives in the other 16 homicides in 2011 included child abuse (8% of all homicides), robbery (5%), depression (5%), a lover’s triangle (5%), and financial concerns (3%) (not shown). More information about these crimes will be detailed in the next CJ bulletin in the 2012 series, San Diego Violent Crime Victims and Suspects in 2011, which will be released later this year.

Rape

There were 660 rapes reported in the San Diego region in 2011, which was a 2 percent decrease from 2010 (676) (Appendix Tables 1 and 8). However, further analyses revealed that while the number of completed rapes decreased 10 percent (from 553 in 2010 to 499 in 2011), the number of attempted rapes reported to law enforcement increased 31 percent (from 126 to 161) (not shown). In


2011, 24 percent of reported rapes were categorized as “attempted”, compared to 19 percent in 2010 (not shown). The number of rapes, either attempted or completed, that are reported may be tied in part to education and outreach efforts encouraging victims to do so. With FBI UCR standardized definitions for the crime of rape expanding in 2012, it is possible that these numbers will increase in the future6.

As Figure 4 shows, the number of reported rapes has remained relatively stable over the past 30 years, compared to the number of other types of violent crime during the same period of time. The greatest number of rapes reported to law enforcement was 969 in 1991 and the lowest was 596 in 1985 (not shown).

2011 THAN 2010

Robbery

Prior to 2011 the greatest number of robberies was reported in 1992 (8,554) and the smallest number was reported in 2002 (3,342). This previous low was followed by five consecutive increases, two years of fluctuations, and in 2011, the second consecutive decrease (9% from 2010 to 2011) to a 30-year low of 3,050 (Figure 5 and

6 For more information about this definition change, please visit www.sandag.org/cjc and access the March 2012 CJ Fax on this topic.

Appendix Tables 1 and 8). This decrease, which was the largest for the violent crime category, may reflect continued efforts started in 2008 by local law enforcement agencies to increase their collaboration to share intelligence and target enforcement, conduct public information campaigns, and increase crime prevention efforts.

Figure 5 NUMBER OF ROBBERIES CONTINUED TO

DROP IN 2011

SOURCE: SANDAG

As part of standardized UCR reporting requirements, the type of weapon used during a robbery and the location of the robbery are documented. In 2011, 20 percent of robberies involved a firearm, 9 percent a knife or other cutting instrument, 9 percent another weapon (i.e., bat, stick, or other blunt object), and the majority (62%) were considered strong-arm. Robberies involving each of these four weapon types decreased from 2010 to 2011, from a 6 percent decrease in robberies involving “other” weapons to a 15 percent drop for those involving knives and other cutting instruments (not shown).

In 2011, half (50%) of robberies occurred out in the open, on streets or in other public places, 28 percent in commercial establishments, 11 percent in other locations (which includes wooded areas, churches, schools, and other public buildings), 8 percent


in residences, and 3 percent in banks. Robberies in each of these locations decreased from 2010 to 2011 (with decreases ranging from 3% to 36%), with the largest one-year decrease in bank robberies. In 2010, this was the only robbery type that increased from 2009 (from 92 to 159) (not shown). In 2011, local law enforcement worked closely with the FBI to strategically address this increase, including sharing intelligence related to individuals and groups responsible for serial bank robberies.

For the eleven jurisdictions with robbery numbers large enough for comparison in 2010 and 2011, seven experienced a decrease in the number of robberies (ranging from -7% to -32%) and the other four experienced an increase (from 2% to 37%) (Appendix Tables 13 and 14).

Aggravated Assault

Over the past 30 years, the number of aggravated assaults followed an upward trend from 1985 (5,624) that peaked in 1994 (15,406) (not shown). This overall increase was due at least in part to 1986 legislation requiring law enforcement agencies to report all domestic violence incidents. Since 1994, these numbers have generally declined, with a one-year decrease of 4 percent from 2010 to 2011 (7,547 to 7,217) (Figure 6 and Appendix Tables 1 and 8) 7.

Like robbery, the type of weapon used in aggravated assaults is documented for reporting purposes. In 2011, 38 percent of aggravated assaults involved the use of another weapon (e.g., bat, stick, or other blunt object), 33 percent hands, feet, or fists, 20 percent a knife or other cutting instrument, and 10 percent a firearm.

7 In 2011, there were nearly three simple assaults for every aggravated assault that was reported (for a total of 18,521 simple assaults). Simple assault, which is not counted as a Part I crime, includes all assaults and attempted assaults which are not of an aggravated nature and do not result in serious injury to the victim. The number of simple assaults reported in 2011 represented a 5 percent decrease from 2010.

Aggravated assaults in each of the categories declined over the past year (from -2% to -13%), with the exception of those involving a knife/cutting instrument, which increased 3 percent. (not shown).

For the 21 jurisdictions with numbers large enough to compare, 12 experienced a one-year increase in the number of reported aggravated assaults, ranging from 3 percent to 54 percent, and 9 experienced a decrease, ranging from -8 percent to -30 percent (Appendix Tables 13 and 14).

PROPERTY CRIME

With 65,097 property crimes reported in 2011 (Appendix Tables 1 and 7), 1 in every 50 residents was the victim of a property crime, a decrease from 1 in every 34 residents in 2007 (not shown)8. With the eighth consecutive annual decrease, the property crime rate was also another new 30-year low in 2011 (20.19) (Figure 7), despite speculation that it may increase with the downturn in economic conditions. Most crime (86%) reported to law enforcement represent property, versus violent offenses, and of these

property crimes, 62 percent represented larcenies in 2011, 20 percent burglaries, and 17 percent motor vehicle thefts (not shown).

Across the region, 15 jurisdictions had a lower property crime rate in 2011 compared to 2010 and 10 had a higher rate. These 2011 rates ranged from 8.01 to 38.41 per 1,000 residents (Appendix Table 4 and Appendix Map 2)9. When interpreting these statistics, it is important to note that a variety of factors can affect a jurisdiction’s crime rate, such as daytime population and accessibility.

In terms of dollar value, almost $157.6 million worth of property was stolen in the San Diego region in 2011, which equates to about $431,710 on average per day. This amount reflected a 9 percent decrease from the $174.1 million in 2010 (Appendix Table 17). Twenty-six percent (26%) of this property, which was valued at $41.7 million, was recovered in 2011, compared to 36 percent and $62.9 million recovered in 2010 (Appendix Tables 18 and 19). This lower property recovery rate could possibly reflect fewer sworn officers per capita in the region and the strategic focus on violent crime in the past year.

Figure 8 compares property crimes reported to law enforcement in the San Diego region from 1982 through 2011 to national statistics from 1982 through 2010 (the most recent annual statistics available, as previously noted)10. In 1982, the San Diego region had a higher property crime rate compared to the U.S. overall. However, the local property crime rate began to decline in the early 1990s, falling and remaining below the national average since 1995. In 2010, the property crime rate for the region was 21.04, compared to 29.42 for the nation.

9 The numbers of property crimes reported in each jurisdiction for 2007 through 2011 are also presented in Appendix Tables 10 through 14. 10 Preliminary mid-year 2011 statistics released by the FBI show a 3.7 percent decline in property crime nationwide compared to the same point in 2010.

Burglary

Burglary is the unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft. As shown in Figure 9, the number of burglaries (including residential and non-residential) reported in the region declined between 1982 and 1984 and then began an upward trend, reaching 35,233 in 1988. Three years later, an eight-year decline began, reaching a low of 15,230 in 1999 (not shown). Since then, the number of burglaries fluctuated until 2008, with three consecutive decreases to 13,326 in 2011 (a decrease of 5% from 2010) (Appendix Tables 1 and 8).

Burglaries are categorized into one of three categories: forced entry, no forced entry, or unsuccessful. Compared to 2007, the proportion of burglaries categorized as forced entry increased from 29 percent to 35 percent in 2011, while the proportion described as attempted/unsuccessful decreased from 19 percent to 13 percent (not shown).

Of the 13,326 burglaries reported in the San Diego region in 2011, almost two-thirds (63%) were residential, which equates to 1 in every 128 households being burglarized. Over the past year, the number of residential burglaries decreased by 8 percent (from 9,099 to 8,374) while the number of non-residential burglaries decreased by less than one percent (from 4,972 to 4,952) (Appendix Tables 13 and 14).

Over the past year, 12 jurisdictions reported one-year decreases (ranging from -1% to -42%) and 12 had increases (from 1% to 29%) (Appendix Tables 13 and 14).

Larceny

Larceny, or theft, is the most common crime, with 1 in every 80 residents a victim in 2011 (not shown). Beginning in 1985, the number of larcenies reported in the San Diego region began an upward trend, peaking at 85,448 in 1989, and then decreasing to 47,851 in 2000 (not shown). Since then, there were four years of consecutive increases, followed by seven consecutive decreases, to another 30-year low in 2011 of 40,425 (Figure 10, Appendix Tables 1 and 8).

Figure 10 LARCENIES DECREASED FOR SIXTH

CONSECUTIVE YEAR

SOURCE: SANDAG


The most common larceny type (historically and in 2011) was theft from inside motor vehicles (38%), with the second most common from buildings (22%). Compared to 2010, there was some variation by location, with thefts from motor vehicles down 15 percent across the region, but thefts of bicycles, thefts from buildings, and thefts from other locations all up (19%, 16%, and 8% respectively). Shoplifting and thefts of motor vehicle parts and accessories were down 2 and 1 percent, respectively. Most larcenies (59%) in 2011 were petty thefts, involving property valued at $400 or less (not shown).

Across the region, 13 of the jurisdictions reported an annual decrease in the number of larcenies (ranging from -1% to -31%) and 12 reported an increase (ranging from 1% to 39%) (Appendix Tables 13 and 14).

Motor Vehicle Theft

Figure 11 shows the number of motor vehicle thefts in the region for the past 30 years. Starting in 1983, the number of motor vehicles stolen in the San Diego region increased annually, reaching a high in 1989 of 40,897 (not shown). This upward trend was followed by an overall decrease to 17,038 in 2000. Since then, there was a general increase to 24,435 in 2007, with four consecutive decreases to 11,346 in 2011 (Appendix Tables 1 and 8). This equates to 1 in every 207 registered motor vehicles being stolen in 2011, compared to 1 in 96 in 2007. In terms of dollar amount, the value of these stolen vehicles was estimated at almost $61.5 million, representing 39 percent of the total value of property stolen (not shown).

Figure 11 VEHICLE THEFT SHOWED GREATEST ONE-

YEAR DECREASE OF ALL PROPERTY CRIMES

SOURCE: SANDAG

Across the 22 jurisdictions with more than 30 incidents of motor vehicle theft reported in 2010 and 2011, 18 reported one-year decreases in the number of motor vehicle thefts (-2% to -40%) and 4 reported increases (1% to 18%) (Appendix Tables 13 and 14). These decreases may reflect the on-going success of targeting car prowlers at night in specific neighborhoods, as well as efforts undertaken by the Regional Auto Theft Task Force (RATT) and other regional collaborative strategic enforcement efforts.

Arson

Unlike other FBI Index offenses, when arson is committed in concert with another FBI Index offense, both incidents must be reported, which is why arson is presented separately from other property crime statistics. There were 318 arsons reported in 2011, which was lower than in 2010 (when there were 366) (Appendix Tables 13 and 14). Forty-seven percent (47%) of arsons in 2011 were of structures and 53 percent were categorized as mobile and other non-structural property types (not shown).


SPECIAL SECTION: AB 109 AND 2011 REALIGNMENT

In response to the debate over how to fix California’s chronic prison overcrowding and overextended parole system, Assembly Bill 109 (AB 109) took effect October 1, 2011, and shifted responsibilities from the state to the counties for incarcerating, supervising, and rehabilitating offenders who have committed non-violent, non-serious, and non-sexual crimes and have no prior convictions for these types of offenses (“non-non-nons”). In addition, counties are also now responsible for providing Post-release Community Supervision (PCS) to an additional state population: (1) those released from prison after serving sentences for non-violent and non-serious offenses and who have no prior convictions for those, and (2) low- and medium-risk sex offenders being released from prison.

According to statistics from the San Diego County Probation Department, 948 post-release offenders (PROs) were released to San Diego County during the last three months of 2011, with 820 of these individuals reporting for supervision. Given the recent release of PROs starting in October 2011, combined with the increase in reported property crime in some jurisdictions across California, additional analysis of regional crime data was undertaken. Specifically, the number of violent and property crimes reported in the first nine months of 2011 were compared to the same time period in 2010, and the last three months of 2011 to those months in 2010. While the number of violent crimes was down for the first three quarters (-6%) and the last quarter (-4%), this was not the case for property crime, with a decrease of 7 percent between January and September 2011 (compared to 2010), but an

increase of 6 percent for October through December (compared to 2010). Additionally, this pattern was consistent for burglary (-8% for the first nine months, versus 4% for the last three months), larceny (-5% versus 6%), and motor vehicle theft (-15% versus 10%)11 (not shown). While this is a trend that local law enforcement will continue to monitor, it is important to acknowledge that these data only represent three months of time and that numerous factors, could be related to these recent increases.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Law enforcement agencies also track domestic violence incidents, some of which are included in the previously reported numbers in this bulletin. For example, a domestic violence incident could include a Part I violent crime (e.g., aggravated assault) or some type of property crime (e.g., burglary). Since 1986, when mandatory reporting was enacted, the number of domestic violence incidents has varied from 11,414 in that year (Figure 12) to a high of 29,306 in 1994 (not shown). In 2011, a total of 15,823 incidents were reported to law enforcement, a decrease of 6 percent from 2010 and the lowest number since 1988 (Appendix Table 9).

Across the jurisdictions, 14 reported one-year decreases in the number of domestic violence incidents (ranging from -3% to -22%) and 3 reported increases (ranging from 7% to 39%) (Appendix Table 9).

11It is important to note that additional analyses comparing the difference across quarters for prior years (annual comparisons beginning in 2005) revealed that this was not a consistent seasonal difference over time.

HATE CRIMES

As part of California Penal Code, the Attorney General is required to submit an annual report to the Legislature regarding crimes motivated by a victim’s race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or physical or mental disability. Beginning in 2008, SANDAG asked local law enforcement agencies to share hate crime reports that were to be submitted to the State to allow for more timely statistics, as well as more detailed analysis for San Diego County not available in the State report.

According to the California Penal Code, a hate crime is a criminal act committed in whole or in part because of the actual or perceived characteristics of the victim (described previously). Thus, hate crimes are not separate distinct crimes, but rather traditional offenses specifically motivated by the offender’s bias. In 2011, a total of 111 hate crime events were reported by law enforcement from across the region, which included a total of 123 offenses, 121 victims, and 152 known suspects (Figure 13). Compared to 2010, the number of offenses decreased by 15 percent12. In 2011, hate

crimes were reported by police departments in Chula Vista, Escondido, La Mesa, Oceanside, and San Diego; the Sheriff’s Department (for the jurisdictions of Encinitas, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway, San Marcos, Santee, Vista, and other unincorporated areas); University of California San Diego (UCSD); and California State University, San Marcos (CSUSM) (not shown).

Other hate crime information compiled for this summary includes the following.

Of the 111 events for which motivation was documented, 56 percent appeared motivated by race, ethnicity, or national origin; 23 percent by sexual orientation; and 21 percent by religion. Of the 62 cases related to the victim’s actual or perceived race/ethnicity/national origin, 45 percent were described as being anti-Black, 32 percent as other (which included multiple, White, Arabic, and Asian, as well as other categories not described), and 23 percent as anti-Hispanic.


Of the 110 events where information was documented, the type of victim was an individual (or multiple individuals) for 81 percent, 6 percent a religious organization, 5 percent a business or financial institution, 5 percent were described as other, and 4 percent involved government property. Of the 105 events where location was noted, 22 percent occurred on a driveway, highway, road, alley, or street; 20 percent at a residence or home; 11 percent at a school or college; 11 percent at a business (which includes restaurants and nightclubs); 10 percent in a parking lot or garage or an airport/bus terminal; 8 percent at some other type of location; 7 percent at a church, synagogue, or temple; 6 percent in jail/prison; 2 percent in an outdoor area such as a field, woods, park, lake, waterway, or beach; 2 percent at a government building; and 1 percent at a storage rental unit.

Of the 123 offenses, 61 percent were described as violent, which included 33 acts of intimidation, 24 simple assaults, 13 aggravated assaults, and 5 robberies. The rest (39%) were property-related and included 43 acts of vandalism or the destruction of property, 3 burglaries, 1 larceny, and 1 arson (not shown).

CLEARANCE RATES

A crime is cleared or solved for reporting purposes when at least one person is arrested and charged with the offense13. Not surprisingly, the clearance rates in 2011 varied by crime type, with violent crimes cleared more frequently than property crimes. Overall, 50 percent of violent crimes that were open for investigation in the region were cleared (with a range across departments of 37% to 62%), compared to 15 percent of property crimes (with a range of 8% to 28%) (Appendix Tables 15 and 16).

13 It is important to note that a crime can occur in one calendar year, but be cleared in that year or a future year.

As Figure 14 shows, the crimes of homicide and aggravated assault have the highest clearance rates, which is related to the fact that these crimes receive maximum resources given the seriousness of the crime and (for assault) involve individuals with face-to-face contact who may also already know one another. While the motor vehicle theft clearance rate is the lowest of the seven Part I crimes, it is important to note that the vehicle recovery rate is considerably higher (59%)14 (not shown).

HOW DOES THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO COMPARE TO OTHER U.S. CITIES?

National information for crime rates for 31 United States cities (rather than counties or regions) with populations of 500,000 or more and which met crime data submission deadlines, is currently available for calendar year 2010 (one year prior to the other statistics presented in this report). In 2010, the City of San Diego15 was the eighth largest city 14 Motor vehicles represented 39 percent of stolen property in terms of dollar value, but 87 percent of the value of recovered property in 2011. 15 In 2010, 46 percent of the region’s violent crime and 46 percent of the property crime were reported by the San Diego Police Department.


among the 31, with a population of 1.38 million. As Figures 15 and 16 show, the City of San Diego was one of the safest places to live, compared to other large metropolitan areas in terms of both violent crime (third lowest, following Honolulu, HI and San Jose, CA) and property crime (second lowest, following New York, NY). In the previous year, San Diego was also ranked third safest for violent crime and second safest for property crime (not shown).

SUMMARY

In 2011, the violent and property crime rates in the San Diego region continued to decrease overall, except for an increase in the number of homicides, which jumped 22 percent from 67 to 82. In addition, while property crime was down, some types of larcenies did increase in number compared to 2010 and there were increases in all three property crime categories in the last three months of 2011, compared to the prior year.
