Business First: Property and violent crimes continue to decline in Columbus

FBI Uniform Crime Reports

Business First


Property and violent crimes continue to decline in Columbus, according to the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2009. The city reported a drop in crime for the fifth year in a row with 5,328 fewer property crimes, a 9.8 percent decline from 2005. It also reported 12.6 percent fewer violent crimes last year compared to 2005.

The FBI Uniform Crime Reporting program collects counts of crimes from police agencies. This includes information about violent crime (murder and non-negligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault), and property crimes (burglary, larceny and theft, motor vehicle theft and arson). Included in this database are all reporting agencies in Ohio. Not all agencies may participate in this program.
