Introduction

Data Source
On a national level, statistical information about crime is collected and reported in two ways. The first way is through the Uniform Crime Reporting Program. The UCR program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 17,000 city, university and college, county, state, tribal, and federal law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. Since 1930, the FBI has administered the UCR program and continued to assess and monitor the nature and type of crime in the nation. The program's primary objective is to generate reliable information for use in law enforcement administration, operation, and management; however, its data has over the years become one of the country's leading social indicators. Criminologists, sociologists, legislators, municipal planners, the media, and other students of criminal justice use the data for varied research and planning purposes.
In 2010 the Gulfport Police Department became the first law enforcement agency in the state of Mississippi certified by the FBI to report crime statistics using the National Incident Based Reporting System or NIBRS. This allows for a more timely reporting method that is software driven and reported directly to the FBI. Based on this, the Gulfport Police Department will be using NIBRS for all future crime reporting. The crime numbers represented in this report were sent to the FBI on 01/08/2018. These are crimes reported in 2017 and, as investigations develop new information, are subject to change. More information on NIBRS reporting can be found on the Gulfport Police Department website at www.gulfportpolice.net
While we recognize that many crimes go unreported to law enforcement authorities, on a local level, we do not have the resources to collect that data. As a result, the information in this report is based solely on crimes that were reported to the NIBRS program.
Reports released by the Gulfport Police Department previously have been scored using the UCR program which is limited reporting information compared to NIBRS. For this report we will compare the two major crime categories of Violent Crimes and Property Crimes to previous periods. Murder, Forcible Rape, Robbery, and Aggravated assault will be considered as violent crimes. The category of Property crimes will contain Burglary, Larceny, and Auto theft.
In this report the reader will find the use of Group A Crimes. These have been defined by the FBI as: Arson, Assault offenses, Bribery, Burglary/breaking and entering, Counterfeiting/forgery, Destruction/damage/vandalism of property, Drug/narcotic offenses, Embezzlement, Extortion/blackmail, Fraud offenses, Gambling offenses, Homicide offenses, Kidnapping/abduction, Larceny/theft offenses, Motor vehicle theft, Pornography/obscene material, Prostitution offenses, Robbery, Sex offenses (forcible and non-forcible), Stolen property offenses, and Weapon law violations.
Group A Crimes:

For the calendar year of 2017, Group A crimes have increased 9% from 2016 and also increased by 34% when compared to the previous 5 year average.

Factors Affecting Crime
5
It is generally assumed the reader of this report understands that many factors affect crime in a community. Some factors which are known to affect the volume and type of crime are:
1. Population density2. Variations in composition of the population3. Stability of population with respect to resident’s mobility, commuting patterns, and
transient factors.4. Economic conditions, including median income, poverty level, and job availability.5. Cultural factors and educational, recreational, and religious characteristics.6. Family conditions with respect to divorce and family cohesiveness.7. Effective strength of law enforcement agencies.8. Policies of other components of the criminal justice system.9. Citizens’ attitudes toward crime10. Crime reporting practices of the citizenry.
With regard to the effective strength of law enforcement, the reader should consider that an agency that significantly increases its enforcement efforts might see an increase in reported crime instead of a decrease.
As a result of the numerous factors that affect reported crime, this report will be limited to presenting only the numbers of specific crimes reported. We will not try to draw a correlation between the volume of crimes reported and any other social factor. Furthermore, the reader should use great caution against comparing crime trends presented in this report and those of other jurisdictions. Finally, the differences in methodology for gathering data make it unwise to compare the Uniform Crime Report to the National Crime Victimization Survey.
Intended Use
The purpose of this report is to present the reader with a larger picture of crime as it is reported within the city limits of Gulfport, MS. We will look specifically at public safety issues during calendar year 2017 and compare them to past periods.
