Violent Crimes
|
Each city tracks incidents of crime through a standardized
procedure based upon property or violent crime definitions.
Those definitions are:
Property Crime - Offense involving property only.
No assault to persons are involved. Categories
involved: arson, burglary,
embezzlement/theft, fraud/forgery, trespass, vandalism/criminal mischief,
and vehicle theft.
Violent Crime - Offense involving assault to a
person. Categories involved:
assaults, resisting arrest, robbery, sex abuse/assault, stalking,
weapons offense.
The City of Kenai implemented new management software,
effective 2001. The increase
does not reflect an increase in crime, but rather more accurately defined
activity.
