The FBI collects these data through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program.
- This table provides the number of males and females arrested in suburban areas in 2008. The table furnishes breakdowns for each offense and supplies a percent distribution of males and females arrested among all offense types.
- The number of persons arrested, broken down by male and female, reported by law enforcement agencies in suburban areas is a subset of the national figures presented in Table 42.
- 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.)
- The UCR Program collects arrest data for 29 offenses.
- 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.
The data used in creating this table were from all suburban area law enforcement agencies submitting 12 months of arrest data for 2008.
For the 2008 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 2007 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 2007 Census population estimate to derive the agency’s 2008 population estimate.
