Crime Is Down in CaliforniaThe crime rate decreased in every offense category between 2009 and 2010
Crime in California, 2010, presents an overview of the criminal justice system in California. Current year statistics are presented for reported crimes, arrests, dispositions of adult felony arrests, adult probation, criminal justice personnel, citizens’ complaints against peace officers, domestic violence-related calls for assistance, and law enforcement officers killed or assaulted. In addition, statistics for preceding years provide a historical context.
Highlights for 2010:
Crimes
In 2010, every violent and property offense category decreased in rate per 100,000 population.
From 2009 to 2010, the violent crime rate per 100,000 population decreased 6.9 percent (from 453.6 to 422.3), reaching its lowest level since 1968 (411.1).
The 2010 homicide and forcible rape rates are the lowest since 1966 (4.7 and 21.4 per 100,000 population, respectively).
The aggravated assault rate has declined steadily since peaking in 1992.
The property crime rate decreased 2.7 percent from 2009 to 2010.
The 2010 burglary rate of 589.0 per 100,000 population is less than one-half the 1966 rate of 1,225.9.
The property crime category with the largest percent decrease in rate from 2009 to 2010 was motor vehicle theft (7.6 percent). Since peaking in 1989, the motor vehicle theft rate has decreased 62 percent.
The arson rate per 100,000 population declined 38.9 percent from 2005 to 2010; the rate has declined 83.1 percent since reporting began in 1980.
Arrests
The 2010 total arrest rate of 4,559.1 per 100,000 population at risk is 6.0 percent lower than the 2009 total arrest rate of 4,849.0.
Both adult and juvenile total arrest rates decreased from 2005 to 2010 (12.7 and 14.7 per 100,000 population at risk, respectively).

13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)
In this eighteenth annual legislatively-mandated report, 2006 and 2007 DUI data from diverse sources were compiled and cross-referenced for the purpose of developing a single comprehensive DUI data reference and monitoring system. This report presents crosstabulated information on DUI arrests, convictions, court sanctions, administrative actions and alcohol-involved crashes. In addition, this report provides 1-year proportions of DUI recidivism and crash rates for first and second DUI offenders arrested in each year over a time period of seventeen years. Also, the long-term recidivism curves of the cumulative proportions of DUI reoffenses are shown for all DUI offenders arrested in 1994. Analyses were conducted on the effectiveness of DUI programs on the 1-year postconviction records of those convicted of the reduced charge of alcohol-related reckless driving, and on the effectiveness of the 3-month versus 9-month DUI programs on the 1-year postconviction records of first offenders. Two additional subanalyses were conducted to determine if differences in the outcome measures were related to BAC level (below 0.20% and 0.20% and above). The proportions of 2006 convicted first and second offenders who were referred, enrolled, and completed DUI programs are also presented.

1These totals do not include duplicate cases as originally reported in the Department of Justice, Criminal Justice Statistics Center, MACR data, and as of 2006 the counts for all the years reflect this change. 2These data represent a DMV master file count of the number of DUI abstracts (data received from the courts), by year of violation, minus duplicates. Each year, the DUI conviction totals are updated to include the amended and new abstracts for current and previous years. These additions are also reflected in changes for the percent convicted. These totals do not include conviction abstracts not yet received. Thus, for the most recent years, these figures will underestimate the final conviction totals.
3These figures include overlap with drugs. That is, drugs are also involved in some of these cases. 4These figures include overlap with alcohol. That is, alcohol is also involved in some of these cases. Beginning with the 2007 DUI-MIS report, reporting of drug-involved fatalities is included.

from the courts.

2009 DUI-MIS REPORT
HIGHLIGHTS OF YEAR 2009 CALIFORNIA DUI-MIS REPORT
o Alcohol-involved traffic fatalities decreased by 6.8% in 2007, for the first time after eight years of a continuous rising trend (see DUI Summary Statistics).
o Drug-involved fatalities declined for the second consecutive year (by 12.8% in 2007), but still reflect an increase of almost 200% in the past decade, from 253 in 1997 to 749 in 2007 (see DUI Summary Statistics).
o The number of persons injured in alcohol-involved crashes decreased slightly by 1.0% in 2007, following a slight increase of 0.9% in 2006 (see DUI Summary Statistics).
o DUI arrests increased by 3.4% in 2007, following an increase of 9.4% in 2006, and a decrease of 0.4% in 2005 (see Table 1).
o The DUI arrest rate rose by 1.6% in 2007, yet still represents a 7.5% reduction from the arrest rate in 1997 (see DUI Summary Statistics).
o 15.5% of all 2006 DUI arrests were associated with a reported traffic crash, compared to 15.8% in 2005. 6.3% of 2006 DUI arrests were associated with crashes involving injuries or fatalities, slightly lower than 6.6% in 2005 (see Table 19).
o Among 2007 DUI arrestees, Hispanics (45.9%) again constituted the largest racial/ethnic group, as they have each year since 1992 (with the exception of 1999). Hispanics continued to be arrested at a rate substantially higher than their estimated percentage of California’s adult population (35.8% in 2007). This is shown in Figure 3.
o The median (midpoint) age of an arrested DUI offender in 2007 was 30 years. Less than 1% of arrested DUI offenders were juveniles (under age 18). This is shown in Table 3a.
o Among convicted DUI offenders arrested in 2006, 73.5% were first offenders and 26.5% were repeat offenders (one or more prior convictions within the previous ten
iii
2009 DUI-MIS REPORT
years). The proportion of repeat offenders has decreased considerably since 1989, when it stood at 37% (see Table 10).
o The median blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of a convicted DUI offender, as reported by law enforcement on Administrative Per Se (APS) forms, was 0.15% in 2006, same as last year, yet almost double the California illegal per se BAC limit of 0.08% (see Table 9a).
o 9.4% of 2006 DUI arrest cases did not show any corresponding conviction on DMV records, which is a decrease from 10.3% in 2005 (see Table 8).
