Preferred term

crime statistics  

Definition

  • Crime statistics—numerical data on crime and the judicial reactions to it, calculated at regular intervals—constitute an essential counterbalance to normative approaches to criminal justice issues. There is no single measure of crime, but several different ones, each with its advantages and shortcomings. [Source: Encyclopedia of Law & Society: American and Global Perspectives; Crime Statistics]
