Violent Crime Falls in '03, Says FBI
8:36 am PST, 25 October 2004
Though murders were up slightly, violent crime overall fell in 2003, the FBI
says.
There were just under 1.4 million crimes of murder, manslaughter, rape,
robbery and aggravated assault in 2003, 3 percent fewer than 2002 and a
decline of more than 25 percent from 1994.
The 2003 figure translates to a rate of 475 violent crimes for every 100,000
Americans, a 3.9 percent decrease from the previous year, the FBI report
said.
Two-thirds of violent crimes are aggravated assaults, but those fell off
again last year, marking the 10th straight decline.
Murders rose to 16,503 reported cases, a 1.7 percent hike, the bureau said.
