Arrests
Suburban Areas
by Sex, 2007
The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR)
Program.
General comments
- This table provides the number of males and females arrested in suburban
areas in 2007. The table furnishes breakdowns for each offense and supplies
a percent distribution of males and females arrested among all offense
types.
- Suburban area law enforcement agencies are defined as all agencies
within a currently designated Metropolitan Statistical Area, excluding
those agencies that cover principal cities as defined by the U.S. Office
of Management and Budget. (See Area
Definitions).
- These data represent the number of persons arrested; however, some
persons may be arrested more than once during a year. Therefore, the
statistics in this table could, in some cases, represent multiple arrests
of the same person.
Methodology
The data used in creating this table were from all suburban area law enforcement
agencies submitting 12 months of arrest data for 2007.
Population estimation
For the 2007 population estimates used in this table, the FBI computed
individual rates of growth from one year to the next for every city/town
and county using 2000 decennial population counts and 2001 through 2006
population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. Each agency’s rates of
growth were averaged; that average was then applied and added to its 2006
Census population estimate to derive the agency’s 2007 population estimate.
