1.1 National Perspective on Reporting Crime: Transitioning from Uniform Crime Reporting to National Incident-Based Reporting System

According to the National Incident-Based Reporting System, Volume 1: Data Collection Guidelines, by the U.S. Department of Justice,

“Since the establishment of the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program in 1930, the volume, diversity, and complexity of crime steadily increased while the UCR Program remained virtually unchanged. Recognizing the need to address crime’s growing challenge, the law enforcement community in the late 1970s called for a thorough study of the UCR Program with the objective of revising the Program to meet law enforcement’s needs into the twenty-first century. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) is the result of that study.” In January 1989, the FBI began accepting NIBRS data from a handful of agencies. As more contributing law enforcement agencies learn about the rich data available through incident-based reporting (and as resources permit), more agencies are implementing the NIBRS. In 2016, the FBI Director agreed to transition the UCR Program to NIBRS-only data collection by January 1, 2021. Modernizing crime data reporting is no longer optional. Fort Worth understands the importance of collecting and reporting detailed, accurate, and meaningful incident-based data. In January 2006, Fort Worth was certified to participate in the National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) and began reporting NIBRS data to the Texas Department of Public Safety. With the use of the NIBRS, the Fort Worth Police Department has the capability to generate re- ports reflecting a multitude of interrelationships among the collected data — enhancing its ability to ana- lyze crime trends and to implement tactical strategies. NIBRS data is of great value to the City of Fort Worth! In 2012, approximately 43 percent of the reporting agencies throughout the nation were NIBRS certified, and an increasing number of agencies are transitioning to NIBRS. In the meantime, the FBI continues to report UCR data (by extracting UCR data from NIBRS data) until such time as the Uniform Crime Re- porting can be discontinued. FBI data is used to identify national and regional crime trends. FBI data is often used for rankings — although the FBI does not recommend this practice — and is often consid- ered the best available information to compare crime from one jurisdiction to another. Since UCR data is available for all reporting agencies nationwide, it is also used for the purpose of making comparisons. One of Fort Worth’s five Strategic Goals is to become the safest major city in the United States. The FBI data, along with other third-party rankings, are used to determine if we are making progress towards this goal/vision. The Fort Worth Police Department reports NIBRS data so that elected officials, city leaders and the public can review the detailed crime data. Please refer to FBI data to understand (in a very gen- eral sense) how Fort Worth compares to peer cities.

Understanding NIBRS Figures

NIBRS compiles detailed reports on two types of offenses: Group “A” offenses and Group “B” offenses. The two groupings are based on the amount of reporting required for each. Both incidents and arrests are reported for Group “A” offenses, while only arrests are reported for Group “B” offenses. The following criteria is used to determine whether a crime should be designated as a Group “A” offense: 1. The seriousness or significance of the offense. 2. The frequency or volume of its occurrence. 3. The prevalence of the offense nationwide. 4. The probability of the offense being brought to law enforcement’s attention. 5. The likelihood that law enforcement is the best channel for collecting data regarding the offense. 6. The burden placed on law enforcement in collecting data on the offense. 7. The national statistical validity and usefulness of the collected data. 8. The national UCR Program’s responsibility to make crime data available not only to law enforcement but to others having a legitimate interest in it.

Group “A” offenses are categorized into one of the three following categories: 1) Crimes Against Persons; 2) Crimes Against Property; 3) Crimes Against Society.

1) Crimes Against Persons = Scores one offense for each victim 2) Crimes Against Property = Scores one offense for each distinct operation

(except Motor Vehicle Theft / one offense is counted per stolen vehicle)

3) Crime Against Society = Scores one offense for each violation

NIBRS Group A includes the following Offenses:

 Destruction / Damage / Vandalism of Property

Homicide Offenses

Drug / Narcotic Offenses

Sex Offenses, Forcible

Embezzlement

Sex Offenses, Non-forcible

Robbery

Extortion / Blackmail

Assault Offenses

Fraud Offenses

Burglary / Breaking and Entering

Gambling Offenses

Kidnapping / Abduction

Larceny / Theft Offenses

Pornography / Obscene Material

Motor Vehicle Theft

Arson

Prostitution Offenses

Bribery

Stolen Property Offenses

Counterfeiting / Forgery

Weapon Law Violations

Human Trafficking

Animal Cruelty

(UCR Part I includes the following eight offenses: Criminal Homicide, Forcible Rape, Robbery, Aggravat- ed Assault, Burglary, Larceny-Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft, and Arson.)

1.4

Significant Methodology and Definition Differences

A significant difference between NIBRS and UCR Traditional Summary Reporting is that for Crimes Against Persons, NIBRS counts the number of victims, while UCR counts the number of incidents. Con- sequentially, NIBRS figures tend to show more Crimes Against Persons than UCR figures. In addition, the definitions for Part 1 offenses used in Summary Reporting are different than the offense definitions used by the NIBRS. Visit http://www.fortworthpd.com/crime-information/ for more details about the dif- ferences between NIBRS and UCR Traditional Summary Reporting.

In the Second Quarter of 2017, there were 19 homicide victims, which is a decrease of 5 victims com- pared to the Second Quarter of 2016. The homicides were the result of a range of motives, including four domestic cases, eight argument/fight cases, one robbery case, two gang related cases, and four unknown cases. Fourteen homicide cases involved firearms. Ten of the 19 homicide cases have been filed. There were three offenses in District 2, 3, 5, and 9, one offense in District 6 and six offenses in Dis- trict 8. FWPD’s homicide prevention strategies involve partnerships with various units and services. Neighbor- hood Police Officers, the Victim Assistance Section, and One Safe Place provide outreach services in an effort to prevent domestic violence crimes that have the potential to turn into a homicide. In addition, the Homicide Unit has worked closely with the Crime Lab as policies have changed allowing for more timely entry of ballistic intelligence into the ATF’s National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) to more readily identify persons who may be involved in violent offenses. The Homicide Unit also continues to work with members of the Gang, Narcotics, and Robbery Units where other criminal activity may elevate to homicide. Most Crimes Against Persons are simple assaults, defined under NIBRS as an “unlawful physical attack by one person upon another where neither the offender displays a weapon, nor the victim suffers obvi- ous severe or aggravated bodily injury involving apparent broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe laceration, or loss of consciousness.” Simple assaults increased 9.6 percent in the Second Quarter of 2017 compared to the Second Quarter of 2016. Approximately 65 percent of simple assault cases were known to be domestic-related. The second-largest Crimes Against Persons category is aggravated assaults. Aggravated assaults in- creased 4.9 percent in the Second Quarter of 2017 compared to the Second Quarter of 2016. Approxi- mately 41 percent of aggravated assaults were known to be domestic-related. Nearly 46 percent of all aggravated assaults occurred within a residence, 28 percent near a roadway, 8 percent in a parking lot or parking garage, and 2 percent in a bar or night club. Intimidation, another assault offense, is defined as “to unlawfully place another person in reasonable fear of bodily harm through the use of threatening words and/or other conduct, but without displaying a weapon or subjecting the victim to actual physical attack.” Intimidation offenses decreased 2.9 percent from the Second Quarter of 2017 compared to the Second Quarter of 2016.

Crimes Against Persons (NIBRS - Group A) Continued...

There were 37 Kidnapping/Abduction offenses in the Second Quarter of 2017 compared to 60 offenses in the Second Quarter of 2016. It is important to understand what is included in this count.

person. Restraint without consent is accom- plished if by force, intimidation, or deception or any means.  Kidnapping : Intentionally or knowingly [abducting] another person … not coupled with intent to use or to threaten to use deadly force.  Aggravated Kidnapping : Intentionally or knowingly [abducting] another person with the intent [for example] to hold him for ransom or reward … use him as a shield or hos- tage...inflict bodily injury.  Unlawful Transport : For pecuniary benefit [transporting] an individual in a manner that is designed to conceal the individual from … law enforcement authorities … and [creating] a substantial likelihood that the individual will suffer serious bodily injury or death.

Kidnapping/Abduction is defined by the Na- tional Incident Based Reporting System as “the unlawful seizure, transportation, and/or detention of a person against his/her will or of a minor with- out the consent of his/her custodial parent or legal guardian.” The Texas Penal Code further divides this defini- tion into four categories: unlawful restraint, kidnap- ping, aggravated kidnapping, and unlawful transport. Please refer to Texas Penal Code Title 5, Chapter 20 for full definitions, but below are ab- breviated definitions of each:  Unlawful restraint: Intentionally or know- ingly [restraining] another person. Restrain: Restrict a person’s movements with- out consent, so as to interfere substantially with the person’s liberty, by moving the person from one place to another or by confining the

Of the 37 kidnapping offenses this quarter, 26 were unlawful restraints, 4 were kidnappings, and 7 were aggravated kidnappings. In 72 percent of all cases, the victim knew the suspect, 45 percent were known to be domestic-related, and in 40 percent of the cases, the victim was dating or married to the suspect at the time of the incident. In the Second Quarter of 2017, forcible rape offenses increased 28.3 percent compared to the Second Quarter of 2016. Of all forcible rape offenses, 77 percent were known offender-related , and 52 percent of all victims were 17 years of age or under. The Sex Crimes Unit did not identify any serial offenders in the Second Quarter of 2017. The Sex Crimes Unit continues the investigative process with the goal of bringing all perpetrators to justice. The “Other” forcible sex offense category includes forcible sodomy, sexual assault with an object, and forcible fondling. These offenses increased 24.1 percent from 141 offenses to 175 offenses in the Sec- ond Quarter of 2017 and approximately 89 percent involved victims 17 years of age or under. In the Second Quarter of 2017, nonforcible sex offenses increased 100 percent compared to the Sec- ond Quarter of 2016. The majority of these offenses are considered statutory rape, which is defined as the nonforcible sexual intercourse with a person who is under the statutory age of consent. Of the 14 offenses, 2 offenses occurred in a previous quarter with the victim reporting the offense in the second quarter. Figure 3 - 2015 to 2017 Citywide Crimes Against Persons

2.2

Crimes Against Persons (NIBRS - Group A) Continued...

In the Second Quarter of 2017, the total number of victims assigned to the Special Victims Section increased by 3.8 percent compared to the Second Quarter of 2016. The number of victims assigned to the Crimes Against Children Unit decreased 3.9 percent. The number of victims assigned to the Domes- tic Violence Unit increased 4.9 percent, and the number of victims assigned to the Sex Crimes Unit increased 25.8 percent in the Second Quarter of 2017 compared to the Second Quarter of 2016.

The Fort Worth Police Department’s Special Victims Section includes the Domestic Violence Unit, Crimes Against Children Unit (CACU), Sex Crimes Unit, and the Sex Offender Registration and Monitoring Unit. The Domestic Violence Unit investigates incidents of domestic violence in partnership with the various agen- cies collocated under the One Safe Place umbrella (Tarrant County’s Family Justice Center). One Safe Place brings together a multi-agency task force, under one roof, dedicated to providing coordinated services to victims of domestic violence and their children.

The Crimes Against Children Unit’s mandate is to aggressively investigate abuse and sexual abuse of children under 17, as well as homicides of children under the age of six (in partnership with the various agencies under the Alliance for Children non-profit organization). The Sex Crimes Unit (SCU) investigates sexual assault cases, indecent exposures, public lewdness, improper photography, injury to the elderly in care facilities, stalking, and any other crime of a sexual nature involving adults of 17 years old and older.

The Sex Offender Registration and Monitoring Unit is responsible for ensuring sex offenders are in compliance with registration requirements.

The Sex Crimes Unit and the Victim Assistance Section continue to work with patrol officers, hold com- munity meetings, and provide presentations to local colleges on ways to prevent sexual assault. The Sex Crimes Unit along with TCU officials conduct information-exchange meetings to encourage discus- sion on ways to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim. The Victim Assistance Section continues to provide support services to victims of reported sexual assaults. Cold Case Sexual Assault Detectives have been successful in solving older cases involving multiple victims using DNA from incarcerated indi- viduals. Technology advancements have also led to identifying stranger offenders.

2.5 Other Offenses (NIBRS - Group B) Group “B” offenses are reported only when an individual is arrested. A Group “B” arrest report does not include incident data but uses only data elements that describe the arrestee and the circumstances of the arrest. Group “B” offenses decreased 7.0 percent in the Second Quarter of 2017 compared to the Second Quarter of 2016. Animal Cruelty* (Offense Code 720) Beginning January 1, 2017, the Texas Incident Based Reporting System (TIBRS) added the offense of Animal Cruelty to the NIBRS as a Group A offense, Crime Against Society offense. Animal Cruelty is defined as to “Intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly taking an action that mistreats or kills any animal without just cause, such as torturing, tormenting, mutilation, maiming, poisoning, or abandonment. In- cluded are instances of duty to provide care, e.g., shelter, food, water, care if sick or injured; transport- ing or confining an animal in a manner likely to cause injury or death; causing an animal to fight with another; inflicting excessive or repeated unnecessary pain or suffering, e.g., uses objects to beat or tor- ture an animal”. This definition does not include proper maintenance of animals for show or sport; use of animals for food, lawful hunting, fishing, or trapping.
