This publication represents the 35th annual Crime in Maryland report. The 2009 Crime in Maryland publication provides valuable information to law enforcement personnel, policy makers and interested parties to include those in academic, civic and research organizations. The statistics presented in this release are an indication of crime and criminal activities known to, and reported by, law enforcement agencies for The information presented focuses on the incidence of crime and provides an indicator over time of variations in crime trends. Maryland law enforcement agencies contribute crime data to the Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Statistics pertaining to crime trends could not have been compiled without the dedication and cooperation of all police agencies, sheriffs offices and specialized law enforcement agencies throughout the State of Maryland. Contributions by Maryland law enforcement agencies to the Uniform Crime Reporting Program provide the Maryland Department of State Police the opportunity to develop and present a comprehensive picture of crime in Maryland.

4 Executive Summary An annual release since 1975, Crime in Maryland reports crime statistics provided by Maryland Law Enforcement agencies to the State's Uniform crime ~ e~ortin~ (UCR) Program. Crime in Maryland details crime incidents, clearance rates, arrests, law enforcement officers killed and assaulted, and law enforcement employee data. Statewide, county, municipality, and reporting agency perspectives are presented within the report. The statewide UCR Program was developed to report crime in Maryland to the National UCR Program administered by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Maryland program has evolved to collect and report data on domestic violence, hate bias and carjacking incidents and arrests. Reports and statistics pertaining to hate bias and carjacking incidents and their associated arrests are released in separate publications to facilitate detailed reporting. The Uniform Crime Reporting Program collects information on crimes that were selected as an index to represent crime in the United States. These index crimes are murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, breaking or entering, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft. Although not an index crime, data pertaining to the crime of arson is also collected, analyzed and reported through this report. Crime in Maryland decreased eight percent in 2009, when compared to There were 215,921 total crime incidents reported in 2009 compared to 233,566 in Violent crime decreased five percent. The violent crime group consists of murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. Property crime decreased eight percent during the same period. The composition of the property crime group is breaking or entering, larcenytheft and motor vehicle theft. The 2009 percent increase or decrease of the index crime breakdown is as follows: Murder % Breaking or Entering - 5.0% Rape 2.6% Larceny-Theft - 6.1% Robbery - 9.1% Motor Vehicle Theft % Aggravated Assault -'2.7% Arson % Arrests in Maryland decreased six percent in 2009, when compared to There were 285,788 arrests reported in 2009 compared to 303,270 in Of the total arrests, 244,041 or 85 percent were adults. This is a decrease of four percent over Juvenile arrests accounted for 41,747 or 15 percent of arrests in This is a 13 percent decrease over Arrests for drug offenses totaled 51,898 in This is a ten percent decrease over similar arrests reported in In 2009, 23,518 persons were arrested for driving while intoxicated. This is a decrease of two percent over similar arrests reported in There were no Maryland law enforcement officers who died in the line of duty during There were 3,719 Maryland law enforcement officers assaulted in This represents a decrease of seven percent over similar assaults reported in 2008 and equates to 24 percent of full time law enforcement officers employed in Maryland. In 2009, there was a one percent increase in the number of fulltime law enforcement officers in Maryland. There were 15,772 full-time law enforcement officers in 2009 compared to 15,619 in In 2009, there were 2.8 full-time law enforcement officers per 1,000 population.

6 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program is one measure that has been taken in the establishment of an effective Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) for the State. This particular phase - focuses on the incidence of crime and law enforcement. It establishes a method to collect, evaluate and process uniform statistical data on crime statewide. The Maryland UCR Program provides the means to forward valid data to the Federal Bureau of Investigation from a single agency and also to consolidate it into an annual report entitled Crime in Maryland. NATIONAL UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM The counterpart of the Maryland UCR Program is the National UCR Program which is under the direction of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The National Program resulted from a need for a uniform compilation of crime statistics nationwide. Uniform Crime Reports were first collected in 1930 after being developed by a committee of the International Association of Chiefs1 of Police. The IACP continues to serve in an advisory capacity to the FBI in the current operation of the program. Crime statistics voluntarily submitted by individual law enforcement agencies from all 50 states are presented annually in the FBI's publication entitled Crime in the United States. MARYLAND UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM The FBI has actively assisted individual states in the development of State UCR Programs compatible with the National Program. Maryland took advantage of this assistance in 1972 and was able to develop its own program by The Maryland Uniform Crime Reporting Program became operational January 1, This program consists of the uniform classification, review, compilation and analysis of crime statistics reported by all law enforcement agencies of the State pursuant to the guidelines and regulations prescribed by law. The responsibility and authority for the collection and dissemination of UCR data is assigned to the Department of State Police in accordance with Public Safety Article, Section 2, Subsection 307 and 308, of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

7 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES In keeping with the recommendation of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and the Administration of Justice, the Maryland UCR Program was planned for eventual growth into a complete and integrated offender based Criminal Justice Information System. Under this program, each offender arrested in Maryland is tracked 'through the entire criminal justice system from time of arrest, through the courts, to the correctional system where their exit (parole, expiration of sentence, etc.) will be recorded. In this manner, a complete "criminal history" on individual offenders will be available for use by the police, courts and correctional agencies in Maryland. In addition, statistical data derived from the CJIS Program will provide assistance in determining the overall efficiency of the Criminal Justice System in Maryland and will make effective management studies possible. The fundamental objectives of the Maryland UCR Program are: 1. Inform the Governor, legislature, other governmental officials and the public as to the nature, magnitude and trends of the crime problem in Maryland. 2. Provide law enforcement administrators with criminal statistics for administrative and operational use. 3. Determine who commits crimes by age, sex, race and other attributes in order to find the proper focus for crime prevention and enforcement. 4. Provide base data and statistics to measure the workload and effectiveness of Maryland1 s Criminal Justice System. 5. Provide base data and statistics to measure the effects of prevention and deterrence programs. 6. Provide base data and statistics for research to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and performance of criminal justlce agencies. 7. Provide base data to assist in the assessment of social and other causes of crime for the development of theories of criminal behavior. Provide the FBI with complete UCR data to be included in the national crime reports.

8 REPORTING PROCEDURES Under the Maryland UCR Program, law enforcement agencies submit specified Uniform Crime Reports. The necessary information for each of the required reports is gathered from each agency's record of complaints, investigations and arrests. Crime data and information is submitted monthly by state, county and municipal law enforcement agencies on the number of offenses known to them in the following crime categories: (1) Criminal Homicide (2) Forcible Rape (3) Robbery (4) Assault (5) Breaking or Entering (6) Larceny-theft (7) Motor Vehicle Theft (8) Arson* The count of offenses is taken from the record of complaints received by law enforcement agencies. This information comes from victims, witnesses, other sources or discovered by law enforcement during their own operation. Complaints determined by subsequent investigation to be unfounded are eliminated from the count. The resulting number of "actual offenses known to law enforcement agencies" in these crime categories are reported without regard for whether anyone is arrested, stolen property is recovered, local prosecution policies or any other consideration. Reported offenses are recorded by the municipality and county in which they occur. Municipal law enforcement agencies report those crimes which occur within the cities and state. County agencies report those crimes which occur in the counties outside the cities. A supplemental report is also submitted each month showing the value of stolen and recovered property, the type of property and the type of offense within a crime category in which it was taken. This report also shows the number of stolen vehicles recovered locally and by other jurisdictions. In addition, each agency reports the number of persons arrested by them or other agencies for crimes which have occurred within their jurisdiction. The arrest report also shows the age, sex and race of those arrested and the disposition of juveniles by the arresting agency. When applicable, supplemental reports are submitted regarding the persons, weapons and circumstances, etc., involved in homicides, domestic violence incidents, officer assaults and "carjackings." In addition, police employee data is collected on an annual basis. *Monthly arson reports are submitted for law enforcement agencies by the State Fire Marshal's Office and designated county agencies.

9 REVIEW PROCESS A major concern in the collection of crime statistics for law enforcement agencies throughout the state is the uniformity and accuracy of data received. Program aides, such as guides and instructional classes, do not necessarily guarantee the accuracy of the reports submitted by the contributor's, therefore, additional controls are necessary. Each report received by the UCR section is recorded, examined and reviewed for mathematical accuracy and possibly, more importantly, for reasonableness. The review process includes numerous checks to ensure the validity of information. The elimination of duplicate reporting by individual contributors receives particular attention. Minor errors are corrected by telephone contact with the contributors. Substantial variations and errors are adjusted through personal contacts. The personal contacts are invaluable to the accuracy and quality of reporting. Field Records Representatives are engaged in a constant educational effort, and as such, provide a vital link between the UCR Program and the contributor. POPULATION DATA The computation of crime rates, as they appear in this report by municipality, county and state are based on the latest available population estimates for the year. These population estimates are provided by the Federal Bureau of Investigation through the cooperation and assistance of the United States Bureau of Census. LIMITATIONS OF A UNIFORM CRIME REPORTING PROGRAM Information currently collected by the Maryland Program is generally the same as that gathered by the National System, and the methods of classifying and scoring offenses and arrests are the same. This readily enables comparisons with other states and with the nation, as a whole. However, there are limitations to the information collected which should be clearly understood before any conclusions are drawn from the UCR data presented in this report. The main goal of the UCR Program is to furnish police administrators with a measure of their activities and operational problems as indicated by the number of reported offenses, arrests, clearances, etc. A first step in the control of crime is to ascertain the true dimensions of the problem. However, present statistics, as gathered by the UCR Program, measure neither the real incidence of

10 crime or the full amount of economic loss to victims. Information regarding number of offenses, clearances, value and type of property stolen and recovered property are collected only for the "eight Part I offenses. For Part I1 offenses, the only information submitted is the number of arrests for these crimes. Consequently, there is no record of the actual number of these offenses occurring, or is there a calculation made for property loss. The Crime Index does not explicitly take into account the varying degrees of seriousness of its seven components (excluding arson). Each crime receives the same weight as it is added to the index; consequently, an auto theft is counted the same as a murder and an aggravated assault is weighed equally with an attempted breaking or entering. Any review of crime must consider the volume, rate and trend of each offense that comprises the index and the relationship between these seven crimes*. The Maryland and National Uniform Crime Reporting Programs are designed to measure offenses committed and persons arrested. Difficulties can arise if this distinction is not kept clearly in mind. Crimes relate to events, arrests relate to persons. Unlike traffic violations where there is usually one event, violation and offender, a single criminal act can involve several crimes, offenders and victims. Relating specific crimes to a criminal or offense to evaluate characteristics of those arrested is generally beyond the scope of the present Uniform Crime Reporting Program. Juvenile crime and arrest statistics, because of their nature, are another area of misunderstanding. Many juvenile offenders are handled informally. As a consequence, inaccurate or incomplete recording of the event or action may result. Procedures for handling juveniles vary between departments more so than the handling of adult offenders. Furthermore, the degree of juvenile involvement in cleared offenses is probably seriously misunderstood because the juvenile clearance indicator is recorded only when juveniles are exclusively involved. When both adults and juveniles are subjects in a clearance, the juvenile participation is not reported. The preceding comments should not be viewed as an indictment of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program which, admittedly, is designed for the operational requirements of law enforcement agencies. While the current method of gathering and reporting crime and arrest data provide a less than complete picture of criminality in our society, the FBI has designed the National Incident Based Reporting System to address these limitations. *Arson is not used at this time in computing the Crime Index.

14 CRIME INDEX OFFENSES The crime counts listed in this publication are actual offenses established by police investigation. When police receive a complaint of a crime and the follow-up investigation discloses no crime occurred, it is "unfounded." In 2009, police investigations that were "unfounded" represented three percent of the complaints concerning index offenses. When comparing individual index offenses to the number reported, "unfounded" offenses ranged from one percent in the aggravated assault category to 24 percent in the rape category. In 2008, there was one percent "unfounded" in the aggravated assault category and 23 percent in the rape category. A total of 215,921 actual Index Offenses were reported to law enforcement agencies in Maryland during the calendar year This represents a decrease of eight percent when compared to the 2008 total of 233,566 Crime Index Offenses. In this publication, the calculations for averages may not add to the total due to rounding. An analysis of Index Offenses by month in 2009 shows that July had the highest frequency of occurrence, and February had the lowest, the same in The Crime Index Offenses represent the most common problem to law enforcement. They are serious crimes by their nature, volume, or frequency of occurrence. They are categorized as Violent Crimes, which includes Murder, Forcible Rape, Robbery and Aggravated Assault, or as Property Crimes, which includes Breaking or Entering, Larceny-Theft and Motor Vehicle Theft. VIOLENT CRIME Violent Crimes involve the element' of personal confrontation between the perpetrator and the victim; consequently, they are considered more serious than Property Crimes because of their very nature. These offenses accounted for 16 percent of the total Crime Index for In 2008, Violent Crimes made up 15 percent of the Crime Index Total. Violent Crime decreased five percent when compared to PROPERTY CRIME The number of Property Crimes reported during 2009 was more than five times greater than the number of Violent Crimes reported. As a group, Property crimes made up 84 percent of the total Crime Index in In 2008, Property Crimes made up 85 percent of the Crime Index Total. Property Crime decreased eight percent when compared to 2008.

15 RATES Crime Rates relate the incidence of crime to the resident population. Many other factors, which may contribute to the volume and type of crime in a given jurisdiction, are not incorporated here, but are shown in the section entitled, 'Crime Factors. " In 2009, the Crime Rate for Maryland was 3,788.4 victims for every 100,000 population. This represents a nine percent decrease in the crime rate when compared to the 2008 rate of 4, The 2009 Crime Rate for the Violent Crime group was victims per 100,000 inhabitants, a six percent decrease compared with the 2008 rate of The Property Crime group had a rate of 3,198.5 victims, a nine percent decrease when compared to the 2008 rate of 3,517.7 CLEARANCES For Uniform Crime Reporting purposes, a crime is cleared when police have identified the offender, have evidence to charge him and actually take him into custody. Solutions of crimes are also recorded in exceptional instances where some element beyond police control precludes formal charges against the offender, such as the victim's refusal to prosecute or local prosecution is declined because the subject is being prosecuted elsewhere for a crime committed in another jurisdiction. The arrest of one person can clear several crimes or several persons may be arrested in the process of solving one crime. Maryland Law Enforcement Agencies cleared 25 percent of all Index Offenses reported to them in In 2008, 24 percent of all Index Offenses reported were cleared. Violent Crimes recorded a 55 percent clearance rate in 2009, compared to a 53 percent clearance rate in The Property Crime group experienced a 20 percent clearance rate in 2009, compared to an 18 percent clearance rate in Considered individually, the 2009 Violent Crime clearance rate was determined to be 64 percent of the Murders, 63 percent of the Rapes, 33 percent of the Robberies and 67 percent of the Aggravated Assaults. The Property Crime clearance rates were 15 percent for Breaking or Entering, 23 percent for Larceny-Theft and 13 percent for Motor Vehicle Theft. The relatively high clearance rate for Violent Crimes as compared to Non-Violent Property Crimes is in part attributable to the volume difference between the two. Property Crime volume is much greater than that of Violent Crime, and police investigation of Violent Crime is usually more intense. 10

16 JUVENILE CLEARANCES A Juvenile Clearance is the clearance of an offense in which all of the offenders involved were under the age of 18. If one of the offenders was over 17 years of age, the clearance of that offense is not considered a Juvenile Clearance. In 2009, such Juvenile Clearances represented 18 percent of all clearances, compared to 20 percent in Juvenile Clearances in the Violent Crime category represented 13 percent of the total cleared in 2009, compared to 14 percent in The clearance rates in Violent Crimes are: Homicide seven percent, Rape seven percent, Robbery.23 percent and Aggravated Assault 11 percent. In the Property Crime category, clearances involving Juvenile offenders represented 21 percent of the total cases cleared in 2009, compared to 23 percent in The clearance rates in Property crimes are: Burglary 17 percent, Larceny-Theft 21 percent and Motor Vehicle Theft 21 percent. STOLEN PROPERTY VALUES The total value of Property Stolen during 2009 was $283,341,282, which represents a 17 percent decrease from Recovered Property amounted to $104,711,795, which is 37 percent of the total stolen, resulting in a $178,629,487 property loss to victims in the State of Maryland during This property loss represents a decrease of 16 percent when compared to the property loss in 2008.

19 MURDER Murder and non-negligent manslaughter is the willful negligent) killing of one human being by another. (non- VOLUME AND RATE During 2009, a total of 440 murders were reported. This represents an 11 percent decrease over Murder accounted for one percent of all violent crime and less than one percent of the crime index. In 2009, there were 7.7 murders per 100,000 of population. ANALYSIS OF MURDER In 2009, 282 murders were cleared with seven percent of these clearances involving only juvenile offenders. A total of 319 persons were arrested for murder during A breakdown of persons arrested for murder was 91 percent male, nine percent female, 12 percent juvenile, 75 percent Black, 23 percent White and two percent consisting of American Indian and Asian. During 2009, 193 of the murder victims were in the 18 to 29 age group, representing 44 percent of the total. There were 40 juvenile victims of murder, accounting for nine. percent of the total murder victims. Handguns were used in 68 percent of the reported murders in This represents a nine percent decrease in their use when, Personal compared to the handgun use in Weapons, The next most used weapon was a knife, accounting for 13 percent of the reported murders in This represents a three 13% percent decrease when compared to Murder Weapons Other or Unknown Weapons, 8% II Blunt 70% Drug related murders accounted for one percent of the total in 2009, as compared to two percent in Family members, as offenders in murder, accounted for ten percent while boyfriend or girlfriend (those not cohabitating) reflects one percent of the total reported. There was a 28 percent decrease in family-related murders, while boyfriend or girlfriend murders decreased 50 percent from Additionally, an acquaintance is listed in 17 percent of the

20 murders reported in Strangers and unknown relationships accounted for two other large categories, 21 percent and 67 percent respectively. In 41 percent of the murders, the offenders are unknown and not described. When the race of the victim and offender is known, the offender is most often someone of the same race.
