Crima in South Carolina continues to plague our paople with death, injury and property loss. The statistics compiled in this report do not begin to portray the human suffering resulting from the activities of vicious and unlawful parsons in our state. As criminal events daily disrupt the lives of our citizens we parcsiva a nesd for more specialized law enforcement aHom. Crime prevention toams, major crime strike foroas and other new approaches to crima problems will have positive effects. Criminal information sysmms, ,as more law enforcemant R{lsncies become pi"Ofessionai enough to oontribute and extract information, will continue to aid in the war against crima.
Ths polica, however, can only perform specific functions in the criminal justice field, just as courts and corrections must work Vifithin certain bounds. The only paople who can mally heve a Issting, long-rangs impru:t on the alarming activities of criminals, both juvanile and &!tutt, are the citizens of our state-families, schools, religious orglllni~ations. Society itl!3!f must bagin to \~raat this problam which is presently so misunderstood or ignored. The direction in which ws need to move is toward developing a society in which criminals, adult and juvenile, are neither excused nor emulated. That is not to suggsst, however, that they b3 forgotten, but we can not continue to sea parsons who commit violent crimes as being themselves the victims of injustice.
Finally, I would like to express my appreciation and admiration to tho$3 lawenforcemsnt aganci85 in South Carolina who realize that criminal information is as important and useful as any other technique in combatting crime and to encourage all agencies to participate in this fine system of cooperative information exchange.

,(., SOUTH CAROLINA UNIFORM CRIME:R':EPORTJNG PROGRAM·
INTRODUCTION
Development of the current nationwide Unifor'm Crime Reporting (UCR) Program began more than fdrty years ago. In 1930, crime counts were first requested from local police departments with the Federal Bureau of Investigation designated by Congress to collect, compile and analyze the statistics, The committee on Uniform Crime Records of the International Association of Chiefs of Police played a primary role in the Qrigin and development of the UCR program and today serves in a strong advisory capacity, Standardized offense classifications and scoring procedures to insure uniformity and consistency of data are the basis of UCR reports,
NAT/ONAl UCR PROGRAM
In recent years, the FBI has actively assisted individual states in the development 0'( state-wide programs of law enforcement statistics compatible with the national system. The state system now in effect can provide a more direct and frequent service to local law enforcement agencies. This assures completeness and finer quality of information than was available in the past. The National Uniform Crime Reports program, under th~ administration of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, 'is the outgrowth of a need and comprehensive study of crime statistics in the United States. The publication, "Crime in the United States," is the annual report by the FBI dealing with national crime statistics,
SOUTH CAROLINA UCR PROGRAM
South Carolina was one of the first states to implement an operational state UCR program. The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division is the agency administering the program. The information collected and the uniform classifications under which it is collected are based directly upon the guidelines of IACP and FBI. :;-
~
Upon initiation of the South Carolina UCR pr~gram in July 1973, SLED in conjunction with the FBI, held work· shops around the state to instruct or refresh"tlie'.county anti city law enforcement agencies on the scope of the program and the mechanics of completing the forms.
Since that time, SLED, along with the local law'enforcement agencies, has instituted an incident-based records management system which has greatly enhanced -and improved the quality of information gathered under the Uniform Crime Reports system. Under this new procedure, crime data and other information gathered by municipal and county law enforcement agencies is collected and submitted to SLED on a daily, monthly and annual basis. This neW system lends itself to a more complete and accurate crime reporting system which in most instances alleviates some of the paperwork with which many departments are now burdened. An additional advantage of using standard incident and booking reports' will be realized from the uniformity of forms. Standardized reports facilitate the exchange of information between law enforcement agencies within the state. The forms have' been included in the report writing classes taught at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy, reducing the need for individual departments to train every new employee in the use of local offense reports and booking reports.

r OBJECTIVES
The fundamental objectives of the South Carolina Uniform Crime Reporting Program are:
(1) To inform the Governor, Legislature, other governmental officials and the public as to the nature of the crime problem in South Carolina.
(2) To provide law enforcement administrators with criminal statistics for administrative and other operational use.
(3) To determine who commits crimes by age, sex, race and other attributes in order to find the proper focus for crime prevention and enforcement. •
(4) To provide base data and statistics to help measure the workload and effectiveness of the criminal justice system.
(5) To provide base data and statistics for research to iniprove the efficiency, effectiveness and performance of criminal justice agencies.
A particularly importan, goal of the state UCR state program is to return statistical information back to its contributors. With the implementation of the new Incident Reporting System, participating police agencies fu~nish data that i~ verifit:!, analyzed and then returned to each jurisdiction in the form of a monthly printout. With the completion of th~ ~nnual report, contributing agencies possess detailed information showing crime trends within their jurisdiction. This enables them to make important decisions in budgeting, manpower alloca. tions and the identification of high crime areas.
This information is also forwarded by SLED to the FBI on a monthly and annual basis' this is for in'clusion in national crime reports and the FBI's annual UCR publication. '
fiF,PORTING AND CLASSIFICATION
While thc,e is no doubt that crime in South Carolina is increasing, care should be exercised when viawing the ~umber of offenses reported to the UCR program. It should be noted that methods of crime reporting hove been Improved. Consequently, the volume of crime actually reported in the state has increased.
~n. ~eportj~g o~enses to the Uniform Crime Reports program, offenses are classified according to standard defInlt!ons (glv:n In a later section of the report) that are used throughout the natio'll. The UCR definitions are deSigned to Insure that offenses with different titles under state and local law are appropriately counted under the UCR program without regard to the findings of courts or juries, since the statistics are gathered primarily to assist in identifying areas of concern to law enforcement officers, and not meal1t to reflect the outcomes of inquests, hearings or trials. .

CRIME FACTORS
Data gathered under the Uniform Crime Reporting Program lire SUbmitted by the law enforcement agencies of South Carolina and project a state-wide view of crime. Examination of some of the underlying factors which influence the volume and type of statistics presented, are necessary if fair, equitable, and enlightened conclusions are to be drawn from the statistical data which follows.
No attempt will be made In this report to examine theories of criminal behavior. The reader is simply encouraged to bear in mind that crime is a complex, many-faceted phenomenon. There are no simple explanations and no easy answers to the problem. However, crime is subject to study; it can be understood and dealt with. Set forth below are some factors w~ich will affect the crime that occurs from place to place.
Density and size of the community population and the metropolitan area of which it is a part. Economic status of the population. . Relative stability of the population including commuters, seasonal and other transients. Climate, including seasonal weather conditions. Educational, recreational, and religious characteristics. Effective strength of the police force. Attitudes and policies of the courts and corrections. The public's attitude toward law enforcement problems. Effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in accurately reporting and interpreting crime data.
These and other crime influencing factors are present, to some degree, in every community, and their presence affects, in varying degrees, the crime experience of that community. Attempts at comparison of crime figures between communities should not be made without first considering the individual factors present in each community.
Police cannot shoulder the entire burden of fighting crime. The slime is true of the courts, correction agencies, and any other elements of the criminal justice system. Real progress against crime can be attained only when each individual recognizes that crime prevention is his personal responsibility, and acts accordingly.

SOUTH CAROLINA CRIME INDEX ..,.
The tabulations presented in the tables, graphs, and charts in this publication indicate the volume fluct. uation, and distribution of crime in South Carolina on the basis of a crime index. The crime figures a;e cate. gorized by agency, county, state and planning regions on the basis of information submitted by police agencies from these areas. The seven offenses comprising the Crime Index and their definitions are:
1. Murder: The willful killing of a human being (inc/udes voluntary or non. negligent manslaughter).
2. Forcible Rape: The carnal knowledge of a female through the use or threat of force (does not include statutory tape).
3. Robbery: Unlawfully obtaining the property of another by force or the threat of force. Robbery occurs only in the presence of a victim.
4. Aggravated A5sault: An unlawful attack upon a person for the purpose of inflicting severe bodily injury.
5. Breaking Or Entering/Burglary: The unlawful entry of a structure to commit a felony or theft.
6. L.:rceny: The unlawful taking of the property of another without the u'c of force or fraud.
7. MOL~r Vehicle Theft: The unlawful taking of a motor vehicfe. Motor VehIcle Theft includes alleged joy·rides.
The: Cri~e .'nde~ is used as a ba~ic measure of crime. The crimes were selected for use as an index on the basIS of t.,e,r SflrJOUS natu.re, their frequency of occurrence and the reliability of reporting from citizens to law .enforce~enLru!e~cles. The offenses of murder, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault are categorized as vloh:nt cnmes. Offenses of breaking or entering/burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft are classed as nlJnvlolent crimes. The crime index is the total of actual offenses that come to the attention of law enforc:ment agencies. During the year 1978, a total of 141,652 index offenses were reported. This represents an Increase of 4,036 offenses, or a 2.9 percent increase over the year 1977.
In. r.eviewing crime index figure? the reader should keep in mind that there is currently no way of deter. Inlnl!,,9 & the total n.umber ~f crimes committed. The crime index has been established to measure only the rns~a~ces ~f ~nme whIch come to the attention of law enforcement agencies. It is important to reo n;e!11b~r I~ reYlewmg the tables and graphs in this report that the volume of crime in a given area or muniCipality IS dIrectly related to the crime factors previously listed in this report.
Data published here concerning prior years supersedes those in any previous reports.

VIOLENT CRIME
Crimes of violence include murder, forcible rape, robbery: and aggravated assaUlt. Violent crimes involve 'the elements of personal confrontation between perpetrator and victim and,btlcause of their naturo, am mora serious than nonviolent crimes.
These offenses, for the year 1978, made up 13.0 percent of all reported index offenses. For the year 1978 violent crimes as a group rose 2.0 percent over the year 1977.
NONVIOLENT CRIME
For Uniform Crime Reports purposes, nonviolent crimes include the offenses of breaking or enterin~, larceny and motor vehicle theft. The number of nonviolent crimes reported for 1978 was more that 8 times the number of violent crimes, amounting to 87.0 percent of all index crimes reported. Nonviolent crimes as a group recorded an increase of 3.1 percent compared to the number reported for 1977.
VALUE OF PROPERTY STOLEN AND RECOVERED
Supplementary data relating to the Clime of murder, rape, robbery, breaking or entering/burglary, larceny and motor vehicle thaft are collected arJd analyzed on a monthly basis. The resultant figures provide in· formation concerning the value of property stolen and recovered by type of property. The to~al value of property stolen in South Carolina Carolina during 1978 was $52,682,808. This amounts to an Increase of $7268335 over the year 1977. Law Enforcement agencies were successful in recovering approximately 29' per~ent of the loss or $15,026,461. Stolen motor vehicles accounted for the highest dollar loss, amounting to $20,857,170 for 1978; this figure represents an approximate increase of 26.3 percent over the year 1977.

CLEARANCE RATES
For crime reporting purposes, a crime index offense is cleared whIm a law enforcement agency has identified the offender, there is enough evidence to charge him and he is actuallY taken into custody. The arrest of one person can clear several crimes or several persons may be arrested in the process of clearing one crime. Crime solutions are also recorded in exceptional circumstances when some element beyond lawen-forcement control precludes formal charges against the offender. .
For the 1978 reporting period 22.4 percent of all Index Crimes were cleared. The percentage of violent crimes cleared was 58.2 percent, while the clearance rate for nonviolent crimes was 17.0 percent. This compares with a total clearance rate of 21.1 percent of all Index Offenses, a violent crime clearance rate of 53.1 percent, and nonviolent crime clearance of 16.2 percent for the year 1977.

ARREST DATA
_ The Uniform Crime Reports Program requires the daily reporting of data concerning persons arrested in the state. A record of total arrest activity for criminal acts in both Part I and Part II crime classes is received from state, county and municipal law enforcement agencies in South Carolina and is classified by offense category and arranged accoring to the age, sex and race of persons arrested. Traffic arrests, except driving under the influence, are not reported. A total of 130,994 arrests for Part I and Part II criminal acts were reported during the year 1978, a 1.3 percent decrease from the 132,736 arrests reported for the year 1977.
A person is counted on the arrest report each time he is arrested or summoned. It should be kept in mind that the volume of arrests may vary from time to time due to differences in local arrest procedures and policies. It should also be noted that a person may be arrested several times during a given month for the same or different offenses. This occurs frequently for such crimes as public drunk, disorderly conduct and similar violations. A juvenile is counted as "arrested" when the circumstances are such that if he or she were an adult, an arrest would be counted or when law enforcement action or other official action is taken beyond a mere interview, warning or admonishment.
When reviewing arrest figures it should be remembered that arrest counts do not reflect the specific number of persons arrested since, as has been pointed out, one individual may be arrested several times during any given month or year. However, arrest data is useful in measuring the extent of law enforcement activity -in a given geographical area as well as providing an index for measuring involvement in criminal acts by the age, sex and race of the offenders.
Analysi~ of repmtecl arrests fQr the year 1978 indicates that 18.0 percent of all arrests during the year were for Part i offenses (murder. manslayghter,fQrcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, breaking or entering/burglary, larceny and motor vehicle theft). Arrests for larceny comprised the highest percentage of Part I arrests, amounting to a.6 percent 9f all arrests.
VIOLENT CRIME ARRESTS
During 1978 there w~re 5,713 reported arrests for crimes of violence(murder, forcible rape, robbery, and_ aggravated assault) in the state,amounting to 24.2 percent of Part I arrests and 4.4 percent of the total arrests for all offenses. Arrests for aggravated assault were the most frequent violent crime arrests, representing 70.0 percent of the total for violent crimes.
NONVIOLENT CRIME ARRESTS
Nonviolent crime arrests (breaking or entering/burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft) comprised 75.6 percent of all Part I arrests and 13.6 percent of all arrests reported during 1978. The highest number of nonviolent crime arrests, 11,325, occurred in the larceny category.
